Liz Locke is the founder of CinemaSips.com, a weekly guide to cocktail and movie pairings. Originally from western Pennsylvania, she now lives in Austin, Texas with her husband and very adorable dog. In writing her debut novel, she hopes to share her love of 1960s pop culture, classic cinema, and international travel with readers of upmarket women’s fiction. When not working or reviewing films, she can usually be found with a cocktail in one hand, and a book in the other.
