Donald Scoby ***SURPRISE***
FLASH SALE FOR GOODREADS USERS!

My 50+ recipe e-book is MARKED DOWN 80% off for 24 hours only starting ... *NOW*

UPDATE -- I was able to edit the coupon -- It should now work until sometime up-to or during Nov19th -- this ensures that it is good for at least 24hrs AND maximizes the chance for folks to get in on this opportunity. This has been a fun learning experience and I am sure I will do it again!
