“Christmas and Coconut Cake” — The gift that keeps on giving.

Sometimes good news comes from the past. I’ve just discovered, 5 years after it’s first printing, that House Housekeeping included my grandmother Eva’s Coconut Cake Recipe in their 2004 edition. And it’s still available.

Book Release Day!

Well it’s out there.  The day that every author waits for, the day the book is on, or should be on, bookshelves everywhere.  
If the books are there, the author worries that there are too many, or not enough.  
If they aren’t there the author worries that the store didn’t order any, or sent them [...]
