Book Review: Stir, Laugh, Repeat: Finding Joy While Playing in the Kitchen
My review of the cookbook, Stir, Laugh, Repeat, by Martha A. Cheves:
Stir, Laugh, Repeat by Martha A. Cheves is an old-fashioned cookbook, full of recipes like your mother used to make; the recipes are practical, easy and made with everyday ingredients. This is not a book filled with overly fancy, posh recipes that will break the budget; this Martha writes for the ordinary, everyday cook.
The book has a simple layout, easy to understand instructions and is filled with appetizing recipes; the aut

And you can also read a few more tidbits about me in my latest interview at Writing Space
I hope

Book Spotlight: Vital Signs of Recovery by Linda K. Rudder
A first for this blog as I put the spotlight on the book, Vital Signs of Recovery, by author Linda K. Rudder.
I was “Released on my own Recognizance,” so to speak, on July 6, 1957.
It seems I began running up an insurmountable emotional debt almost immediately upon my arrival. I tried to coerce everyone in my life into making the payments. Imagine, if you will, the proverbial beggar. In a tattered, dirty overcoat, tin cup in outstretched hand, dark glasses perched on a forlorn weathered face- the

Lulu.com Troubles
I like publishing with Lulu.com, I really do, but lately they are making very difficult to consider using them for future books.
First their so-called economy shipping is anything but economical. I needed some review copies and it cost me $15.72 for two books; the shipping and handling (this is to Canada, where I live) was $19.96. How is paying over double the price of the book cost, economy shipping!?Second they currently have a serious glitch with their site; my book, Chronicles of the Undead
