D. D. Scott's Favorite Vegetarian and/or Vegan Recipes: Raspberry Vanilla Chia, a Superfood Dessert
Happy Weekend, DDScottville Peeps!!!
How 'bout a super-healthy, super-easy and super-delicious superfood dessert?! That's what I've got for you today thanks to my wonderful friend Holly Hurlburt, who found this gem on www.youngandraw.com Thank you, Holly, and Thank you, Young and Raw!!!
Ingredients:
3-4 T chia seeds (white or black)
2-3 T shredded coconut
1/2 t vanilla bean powder or extract
1/4 c fresh raspberries
1/2 c coconut or almond milk
pinch of Himalayan or sea salt
2-3 T hemp seeds *optional add-on
1 t organic honey *optional add-on
Directions:
Combine all ingredients except for the raspberries and allow them to soften for 5-10 minutes. Add your fresh berries (I like to substitute or add blueberries) and enjoy. I put it in a Mason Jar, and sometimes, it's my "breakfast" dessert!!!
Young and Raw does add this note regarding the chia seeds: "Chia seeds can lower blood pressure, so be mindful if you have low blood pressure to enjoy chia seeds occasionally rather than every day in high amounts."

D. D. Scott Accepts The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge!!!
Wavin' atchya, DDScottville Peeps!!!
My teeth are still chattering, and I'll be chilled to the bone for the next week, at least!!!
That's right...I accepted the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge!
So much fun for such a great cause!!!
I was challenged by the amazing Johnna White of Downtown Sarasota's Pixie Dust Metaphysical Boutique (one of my fave stores in beautiful Downtown Sarasota). You can get all the scoop on how I was challenged in Johnna's way fun video...yep, that's my name on the fabulous sign she posted on the streets of Downtown Sarasota. As if I could say "no" after that little surprise...LOL!!!
Post by Johnna White.
Now you've got me, next to the palm tree in front of my house, dealing with my big ol' bucket of ice. It was so damn cold I'm thinking that it had to have been a special delivery from the North Pole by the big guy in the red suit. :)
Since I've conquered the bucket, I'm passing on the challenge to two more of my fave boutique owners in Downtown Sarasota. So, gear up Christine Baer of Wet Noses Sarasota and Ron Soto of Soto's Optical Boutique - show some love for all of those suffering from or who have suffered from ALS and let's see if together, we can raise enough awareness and support to find a cure.

D. D. Scott's Preorder Party Reader Giveaway: Think The Seven Chakras and Incense!
Happy Hump Day, DDScottville Peeps!!!
Today, I'm starting our very own Preorder Party!!!
I'm so excited and so very grateful to Amazon, Barnes & Noble Nook, Apple, Kobo and Smashwords for giving me the opportunity to make my Christmas Book - A ROYAL CHRISTMAS RESCUE (The Royal Heirs Book 2) - available for you to reserve long before its release date. That way, you don't have to remember to look for it when it releases on or around November 1st. You preorder it today, and it will automatically download to your ereader on or around November 1st. And...better yet...you don't get charged until it downloads!!!

Here's the scoop on A ROYAL CHRISTMAS RESCUE:
From International Bestselling Author, D. D. Scott, comes a brand new Christmas novella — Book 2 in her 5-Star-Rated new series, The Royal Heirs.
Everyone needs a little Christmas. But try convincing a stodgy royal family — and their even stodgier staff — of that!
Stella Anastas, Kristianico's new Queen, thought her inner circle was small before becoming Queen. Now, instead of a circle, it looks like a dot. She has four people in her daily life that she can count on, no matter what. To be accurate, two people and two dogs. Her wonderful husband, King Adonis, and their two dogs — Wyatt, a very ornery Portuguese Water Dog, and his new playmate Gypsy, the Chiweenie, who's convinced she's a human and not a dog and should be treated accordingly — and her best friend, Sophia Fordham, who owns Wet Noses, Kristianico's premier holistic doggie grooming salon and boutique.
To make matters worse, it's Stella's first Christmas in Kristianico and her first Christmas as Queen. If she's going to haul out the holly and put up the palace trees before her spirit falls again, she's got to find a way to convince her staff that they need a little Christmas before the biggest scrooge of all — Meredith, the Queen Mother — has everyone crying in their eggnog.
Luckily, Stella has an idea. A brilliant idea. She's about to become one of those people who not only rescues dogs but who has the "Who Rescued Who" bumper sticker to prove it. On second thought, can she put a bumper sticker on her royal Range Rover? The palace would probably frown on that. Even more reason to go for the gusto!
Fall in love with King and Queen Adonis of the small, French Riviera seaside country of Kristianico and their far-from-perfect family.
A ROYAL CHRISTMAS RESCUE is a 45,000-word contemporary Christmas novella (about 125 pages) that's Book Two of the new series, The Royal Heirs. The next book in the series will release for Valentine’s Day 2015 with two full-length novels and a holiday novella releasing each year thereafter.
PRAISE FOR D. D. SCOTT:
"...one of the top Romantic Comedy/Humorous Mystery writers out right now." — ENT (Ereader News Today)
Now then...Kristianico's new Queen also happens to be really into working with The Seven Chakras (Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Third Eye and Crown). And, she often uses Chakra Incense to help her balance the energies within and around her.
Well, if it works for The Queen, it's gotta work for the rest of us, too, right?
***I can tell you that it works for me!!!
So, how 'bout a Queen Stella-style, D. D. Scott Reader Giveaway?
I'll start with the first 20 people who email me at dd(dot)scott(at)live(dot)com that they've Preordered A ROYAL CHRISTMAS RESCUE.

D. D. Scott Discovers Downtown Sarasota!!!
Wavin' atchya, DDScottville Peeps! Happy Hump Day!!!
I've got a new DDScottville Project that I'm over the moon thrilled to share with you!
The Sarasota Downtown Merchants Association (SDMA) has asked me to create, write, design and publish a fabulous monthly journal about all of the amazing merchants in Downtown Sarasota!
How fun is that?!
It will start out as an 8-page booklet, and I think we'll be growing very quickly from there!
I can't wait to introduce all of you in DDScottville to the wonderfully talented people making Downtown Sarasota one of most thriving Downtown Communities I've ever been part of. The cool part is that, even when you're not in Downtown Sarasota, you can be part of the magic from your living rooms as almost all of the merchants have terrific websites and blogs to keep you in-the-know and full of wonderful online shopping resources.
Here's a Sneak Peek at the first page of our Inaugural Issue (which arrives in October):

And here's the scoop from my Publisher's Spotlight for the Inaugural Issue:
I’m D. D. Scott, an International Bestselling Author and an Amazon and Barnes and Noble Top 100 Bestselling Author, and I’m thrilled to be the Publisher and Editor in Chief of SDMA’s Downtown Merchants Journal, a Monthly Publication.
My DH (Darling Husband) retired after 30 years as a Sheriff’s Department Captain and Jail Commander in northern Indiana, we sold everything, bought an RV and headed to Sarasota, thinking we’d stay a few months. Lol! That was last November. We fell in love with Sarasota, especially Downtown Sarasota, sold the RV in January and bought a home.
Why Downtown Sarasota? Well, for starters, authors love artsy downtowns, especially when they have wonderful coffee shops, restaurants and unique boutiques. When you add in the gorgeous beaches, Selby Gardens, museums, the ballet, the opera, outstanding theater, a thriving independent film scene, and people who really care about their community, it’s a no-brainer. My muses are home!
I’m having the time of my life getting to know all of the fantastic merchants in Downtown Sarasota. If you are a Downtown Sarasota Merchant, and I haven’t visited your store, I will be soon. In the meantime, feel free to email me at dd(dot)scott(at)live.com with feature story ideas. If you’re hosting an event or guest artist, or have an exciting new product line or an amazing story to tell about your shop, let me know so I can share the news. And, if you’re a Downtown Sarasota Visitor and have discovered something you love about Downtown Sarasota, let me know that, too.
I’ll also be sharing the scoop on the places in Downtown Sarasota that I love in my monthly column — D. D.’s Downtown Discoveries. This month, I’m totally gaga over the Star Keeper Café and Pixie Dust. And my dogs are loving the organic, Dogs For The Earth food and treats I’m buying at Wet Noses Sarasota. Check out my column for the full scoop!
