About this ebook
If you could describe the first thing that comes to mind when you take a sip of Riesling or a shot of Irish Whiskey, what would you say?
In Toasts by Richard Nesberg, he explores that very question. Each piece in Toasts is Richard's literary equivalent of its subject, lyrical meditations of each drink, its sensations, and the memories it conjures.
Author

After earning his undergraduate creative writing degree from Minnesota State University in Mankato, Minnesota, he promptly moved to Japan where he wrote the majority of his debut novella, Oneironauts.
