Excerpt from RECYCLED III


Thought I’d just do a brief post today, with another teaser from RECYCLED:

Before the sun rose, they had reached the safe house in Elmhurst. The four of them shared a cubicle in the basement, remodeled for the war that seemed to approaching more rapidly than they’d expected. Abby still didn’t seem quite herself, and Brad was concerned.

“What’s up, Ab? You seem okay with us being here, so what’s going on?”

Abby didn’t answer for a long moment.

“Did you see it, Brad? Riley. It’s… she’s not…”

Hmmm. Wonder what this Riley “is not?” Any ideas? Clues? Guesses?

It won’t be long now, but I will tell you that a good part of this story, the final chapter so to speak, takes place in Chicago. Oh, sure, we’ll be back in St. Louis… and outstate Missouri, but – well, you’re just going to have to read it. J

Pre-orders will open up soon, probably in the next 2-3 weeks, so get ready!

 

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!
