INNspirational Series


It’s my pleasure to introduce to you all to the first in the planned INNspirational Series of cookbooks from Rocking Horse Publishing!

“INNspiring Breakfasts is the first in the series of scrumptious cookbooks straight from the High Street Victorian Bed and Breakfast in Boonville, Missouri. Ninety-seven recipes, most with full-color photos, grace the pages of this wonderful culinary volume, interspersed with Bible passages and short devotions as well as tips and how-tos.”

Author Kriss Royer, co-owner of the High Street Victorian B&B, includes tricks, tips, and variations of several recipes and yes, she’s created and perfected them all. Gene Royer, Kriss’ husband and co-owner of the High Street Victorian, is a fantastic photographer.

I was going over the final edits yesterday, and it’s a good thing we all use computers now – pretty sure I was drooling over the pictures and I would have hated to smudge the ink on a paper copy. “INNspiring” is a completely apt description, because I wanted to run into the kitchen and start cooking!

You’re going to love this cookbook, and you can pre-order it now via the RHP website. Just $24.95, and the books will be shipped at the end of May. Plus, you can order all kinds of stuff for your home and kitchen through Café Press.

INNspiring Breakfasts will be available on Amazon and in bookstores across the country starting in June, as well as at the High Street Victorian and specialty shops in the mid-MO and St. Louis areas.

Let’s start cooking!

Publishing Delay – RECYCLED


A few days ago, I announced via a couple of Facebook pages that RECYCLED was going to be delayed a bit. Some of you have asked if things are okay, and yes, they are – no major catastrophe, just lots of things going on around here.

Between writing, bookselling, and publishing, I’m spreading myself a bit thin and was totally stressing over my self-imposed deadline. That happens a lot, sad to say.

However, rest assured that RECYCLED will be here soon – in July. Promise. No backing out! But in the meantime, there are plenty of folks who haven’t yet read REDUCED and REUSED, so it’d be great if you could spread the word…

Between now and then, RHP will be releasing TWO books:

INNspirational Breakfasts, by Kriss Royer, will be launched on June 1 – details coming soon!

P.A.W.S., by Debbie Manber Kupfer will be launched on June 22 in conjunction with a bookstore event for Tenth Life Cat Rescue!

Stay tuned here and on Facebook and our websites for up-to-date information…
