A Drink with Intention (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“We do not drink to forget; we drink to remember” — Spotted on the wall of a bar in Antibes, France “We drink to remember.” That simple but meaningful sentiment is more than just a tagline for Davo, a new premium tequila from Santa Barbara entrepreneur Laura Kronen — it’s at the heart of the inspiration for the entire venture. Losing her beloved husband Dave “Davo” Kronen in 2022, after a long illness, Laura spent some time traveling and trying to figure out her next chapter of life. She and Dav
Review | Brandi Carlile, A Rock Star in Her Prime (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“I can go from zero to Tenacious D real fast,” laughed Brandi Carlile. That was no joke. She’s always had a beautiful voice, but the fire and verve and energy and incredible versatility she displayed at Sunday night’s Santa Barbara Bowl show was unparalleled. And honestly, I was a bit (happily) surprised that this was one of my favorite shows of the year.

‘You Belong in the Wild’ Storytime with Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s hard not be a little bit teary — in a good way — reading Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant’s new children’s picture book You Belong in the Wild.

Becoming a household name seemingly out of nowhere, as the author of the 2012 number-one New York Times best-seller Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail, which was adapted into the Academy Award–nominated film starring Reese Witherspoon, Cheryl Strayed has gone on to write the best-selling collection Tiny Beautiful Things. That book, based on her beloved “Dear Sugar” advice columns, was adapted into a Hulu limited series and continues to be performed as a stage production in theat
Steve Hawk Makes His Literary Surfing Thriller Debut with ‘Nearshore’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Surfing meets Silicon Valley mega corporations meets a near apocalypse (sound like a perfect recipe for a summer blockbuster film) in the new novel Nearshore by Steve Hawk. The description of the book begins, intriguingly, in West Virginia, where a “small” nuclear bomb detonates beside an Appalachian highway: “The weapon’s explosive yield is meager, the death count blessedly low. And yet: It is history’s first act of nuclear terrorism, and it threatens to tilt the world beyond reckoning. “Months
