Book Trailer

Granola!
Granola!How to turn Oats, Cinnamon, Brown Sugar, and Caramel sauce into yummy. yummy, granola!
2 c oats
1/2 to 3/4 c brown sugar
1 to 2 Tbsp Cinnamon
Put in a pan - heat and mix over
med/high heat. Careful, there is a
fine line between tasty and burnt.
Once heated through - the brown sugar gets a tiny bit melty looking.
Take it off the heat and add in about
5 Tbsp of Caramel Sauce - mix it all
together and then spread on wax paper.
Sprinkle with white sugar and let cool.
Then crumble it up and put it into a container.
I'm adding nuts to my next batch!
This was sooooo great sprinkled on vanilla ice cream!

Choosing a digital platform for my novel definitely limits the customer base. Some people are reluctant to try reading on a computer screen, iPod/iPad screen, Kindle, etc... they want those pages to physically touch and turn.
