The time has come to move on to the next chapter in my blogging life. Theriaka//Double Dose has been amalgamated with another of my blogs, The Ebook Apothecary. All posts from both blogs can now be found on my new website: www.bethhobson.com I have decided that it was time to focus more on my freelance writing and fiction projects and I believe that this move will assist in that endeavor.

My recent admiration of the popular Irish drink has led me to do a bit of research on why exactly it has done so well all over the world. Many would argue that its taste and feel sells itself, but as a company with an extremely high cost advertising campaign, I think that might have a little something to do with their success. Like many alcohol commercials Guinness strive both to entertain and

Everyone knows Dan Brown as the author who wrote the controversial semi-religious thriller, The Da Vinci Code. And as intriguing as it was, what about his other books? Angels and Demons the prequel to his famous book cum movie is probably the second best known. Regardless of the popularity of these books, I found myself enjoying one of his other books the most. The title is Deception Point and it

My first impression of this famous city sounded something like this. “OH DEAR LORD IT’S WINDY!!!” After barely managing to prevent myself from blowing away it also occurred to me that it was cold. Luckily the weather decided to play it smart for the rest of my time there and aside from spontaneous downpours each time I’d take the effort to straighten my hair, it was actually quite nice. I arrived

The curser blinked slowly, waiting for her to write something, anything. The blank white box of MSWord mocked her in its stark emptiness. Faint whispers of Jazz music floated out from the small speakers in her laptop. Slightly tinny, but it wasn’t any big bother. Nearly drowning it out was the patter of rain on the living room window.She was slouched on a shabby blue couch in her shabby one

Snow always seems to heal the world, as it falls, covering every flaw and every ugly thing in a sparkling layer of pure clean white. It’s an open hand to a new fresh start, presenting before you an unmarred path, untrodden, just waiting for you to decide where it will lead.

I am Theriaka. Spelt slightly differently my name would be an age old antidote believed to cure... nearly every poison out there. Spelt such as it is however, it is me.You can call me Ther if you feel the need for a nickname to make you more comfortable.Pronunciation? I'm sure you were just about to ask. Like Cher, with a lisp. Try it out. You know you want to.If you need help pronouncing Cher...
