ReadAlongWithSue recovering from a stroke★⋆. ࿐࿔ asked James Houston Turner:

Oh James just read your bio. What a strong chap you are with one good woman behind you. Don’t give up your dreams So you wrote a spud book?

James Houston Turner The Spud Book was my first big break as a writer, Sue. I first self-published it, got myself on some TV shows, then sold the publishing rights to St. Martin's Press, who republished it, after which French's Foods (famous for its mustard) sent me on a nationwide television "Spud Tour," where I cooked potatoes for TV hosts and their audiences. I have never had anyone hand me the company credit card and say, "Go buy whatever you need for this tour." I had SOOO much fun shopping, including a bottle of Champagne to celebrate the deal and a haircut (I was pretty shaggy at the time). Thank you, also, for your gracious words. I am blessed indeed to have Wendy as my wife. We are the proverbial "hand and glove," with complementary strengths. We make a good team, and I have the added privilege of working at my laptop in the same room as the kitchen, where she pursues her love of cooking (being as she is the author of The Recipe Gal Cookbook). In fact, there is a pot of Texas chili cooking now and I am the official taste-tester. Gotta run...
