The Great Arrival

This month's post is on a specific type of immigrant who arrived in American in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Find the post at https://sweetamericanasweethearts.blo...

I used this as part of my heroine's backstory for Gianna's Wedding Dilemma.

Released Today

Butter Pound Cake by Berdina, a story in the Old Timey Holiday Kitchen multi-author hisotorical series, released today. I enjoy writing these stories because so much is centered in kitchen acitivites, and I loved learning how to cook and bake at my mother's and grandmother's sides.

BLURB: Bakery manager Berdina Hulbard has big plans to expand the Riverside Bakery’s services to the growing Astoria community. She has visions of creating stylish desserts, similar to what she produced at her previous job. During a marathon baking session, she’s interrupted by a blue-eyed brute of a man screaming “Fire” who douses the fire in the brick oven, sending ash over her inventory.

Seeing black smoke billowing from a chimney, volunteer fireman Peder Stefansson bolts into the bakery to put out the fire. Peder is temporary squad captain and wants to prove he’s ready to take on the job permanently. When safety is restored, he discovers ruined baked goods, an irate baker, and an escaped canary. He likes the spirit of this spunky beauty with sparks in her brown eyes. What can he do to tame this chaos into cuddles?
