Ahem – There IS a Third Book…


Those of you are observant may have noticed, here in the sidebar, that I have a third book published. Of course, you may have just skimmed past it as we all tend to do – shoot, even I’ve mostly forgotten about it!

And, too, I use the words “book” and “published” rather loosely…

“So You Wrote a Book: Now What?” is more of a booklet… then again, it’s priced at just 99 cents. I kind of drew the line at actually giving away my work, but it’s not exactly novel length either, so – 99 cents. And occasionally, it’s free.

Heck yes, I’d love to see a massive increase in downloads today, but that’s not the point. Okay, it is the point, but my main point is this:

Writing is hard work, and every writer wants some kind of pay-off. Maybe you just want to share information or knowledge or a good story with the world – but it’s still a thrill whenever you get a sale, right? Or maybe you’re in it for the money?

When I stop laughing, I’ll get back to you on that…

Sure, you could be the next King or Patterson; more likely, you’ll earn a decent living as a writer or, sadly, not one thin dime. Oh, yes, I had a point, didn’t I?

Once that book is written, and you’ve decided to self-publish or go indie or whatever you want to call it – or, really, even if you have a publisher, large or small – you need to take action. And “So You Wrote a Book” can help you do just that.

The book (booklet) talks about your product, your publicity, your professionalism. Oh, and pricing; wouldn’t want to leave out another “p” word! A lot of this can be found online in seventeen different places – why not have it all handy-dandy on your own computer/device, in just ONE spot?

So go ahead, click the link, buy the book. Er, booklet. Whatever. Just read it, won’t take long, and it might even spark some ideas to get busy on your own promotion and increase those sales!

INNspiring Breakfasts is a Hit!

Boonville, Missouri B&B owner Kriss Royer has created a very wonderful cookbook – these are all recipes she’s served to her own guests at the High Street Victorian. Based on their reviews, Kriss is certainly doing something right:

“The food was top notch…”

“…incredible homemade brownies, breakfast, and cinnamon rolls…”

“Breakfast was amazing with Kriss’ signature pineapple boat and a delicious Tiramisu French Toast.”

“…the breakfast was to die for…”

“What followed can only be described as an 8th wonder… this breakfast was better than any breakfast I’ve EVER had! My husband and I stayed in a hotel in Paris that had topped my list of amazing presentations of food.”

“All I can say about the breakfast meal is…WOW. Normally, I don’t eat much in the morning, but I couldn’t help myself with this delicious meal.”

These are just some of the reviews out there – I could go on and on, but I also want to tell you that these are NOT difficult recipes. Most of the ingredients you’ll probably already have on hand, and it takes less time than you’d think to prepare them in your own kitchen.

In fact, on Monday I made the Chocolate Pancakes with Strawberry Sauce – after reading this cookbook over and over and seeing Gene Royer’s fantastic photos, I had to take the plunge. It was totally worth it! I should probably add that, since I had no strawberries, I substituted a mixed berry blend for the sauce. Yum!

You can get your own copy of INNspiring Breakfasts at the RHP store, in local bookstores, online via Amazon – there’s even a Kindle version – or you can stop in at Parable Books in Columbia, Missouri on Saturday, June 1, and meet Kriss too!
