I’m excited to be joined on the show today by guest author, Lynda Cohen Loigman. On this episode we’re going to talk about her book, The Love Elixir of Augusta Stern. On the brink of eighty, retired pharmacist Augusta Stern moves to Florida and reunites with her first love, reigniting memories of 1920s Brooklyn. Torn between science and family folklore, Augusta once used a mysterious elixir with devastating consequences. Now, decades later, she must confront the truth—and the magic—of her past.

On this episode we’re going to talk about her book, Rules for Ruin. On the outskirts of London sits a seemingly innocuous institution with a secretive aim—to train young women to distract, disrupt, and discredit the patriarchy. Outraged by a powerful lord’s systematic attack on women’s rights in Parliament, the Academy summons its brightest—and most bitter—pupil to infiltrate the odious man’s inner circle. A deal is struck: bring down the viscount, and earn her freedom.
