Using a torch lighter (and a lot of safety \u2013 people!), ignite the tops of the shot glasses and take in the glory.<\/p>\n<p>Next \u2013 and this step is super important, guys \u2013 blow out the fire and take your shot. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bio &amp; A Giveaway:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong>H.L. Holston is a teacher by day and a sometimes author by night. In her past lives she has been a: flight attendant, police officer, bank teller, radar operator in the military, and ran the romance section in her local Waldenbooks.<\/p>\n<p>These days she dreams up ideas with her writing partner Sue (they write as Sue Holston), but occasionally she ventures out on her own. She admits she is a horrible blogger, even worse in keeping up on FaceBook, and longs for the days when she was a flight attendant and traveled the world for fun and pay. She can be found at: www.hlholston.com or via email: hlholston@zoho.com.<\/p>\n<p>For listening to her ramble on in airline lingo, she is offering up a copy of her new book, <em>Coffee, Tea and the Mile High Club<\/em> to one lucky winner, plus the opportunity to win a $20 gift card at the end of the tour.
