Cliffhangers and Cocktails

Imagine settling into a comfortable chair with a good drink and even better conversation. That’s the feeling at the heart of Cliffhangers and Cocktails, where hosts Shéa MacCleod and Amy Cissell blend their lives as USA Today bestselling authors with their love for magical stories and mixology. Each episode feels like catching up with friends who happen to be experts in urban fantasy, cozy mysteries, and paranormal fiction. You’ll hear deep, often hilarious discussions about the fantasy books they’re devouring, alongside interviews with other authors who create the worlds they love. The conversation naturally weaves into the realm of the witchy and spiritual, exploring those themes as they appear in stories and in life. And yes, there are cocktails. They craft recipes inspired by their literary topics, mixing them live (with all the inevitable clinks and occasional mishaps) so you can drink along if you wish. This podcast is for anyone who finds magic in a well-told tale and believes a perfectly paired beverage makes it all the better. It’s less a formal book club and more a weekly, spirited gathering where plot twists and tonic water flow freely.
