Recipes for a Good Cause

I've got some really wonderful members that frequent my message board, "The Keep." (See link on the sidebar.) And if there's one thing we absolutely all agree on is that FOOD is one of life's many pleasures.

We have a thread called "The Kitchen" and within, our members have posted some yummilicious recipes! In the spirit of giving, we have decided to collate our recipes into "The Keep Cookbook" which will be sold through the Keep Shop in December. All proceeds will go to a charity that will be agreed on sometime within the next month or so.

In the meantime, we are asking for recipe donations to make the Cookbook not only for a good cause, but also good to enjoy! So, if you're not a member of The Keep, please join us! We are a wild and creative bunch, and be sure to bring your sense of humor!

If you would like to donate a recipe and prefer not to join the zaniness of The Keep, please post a recipe here and we'll be sure to include it. I will post when the book has been collated and is ready for sale.

Come share those recipes that warm your life. :)

The Countdown Begins!

Well, it's done.

I've put my OK on the final, revised, corrected, amended, realigned manuscripted proof, and the book is now in motion. *huge sigh*

According to my publishing consultant, Zach, it will be 1 to 2 weeks before "The Sagittary" is available through Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. It will also be available through www.abebooks.com and www.alibris.com.

I want to thank all my friends, family and co-workers for their kind words of support in this endeavor. It has taken nearly three years to get Darien out in print. And that's typical of him. He is quite, er...large.

To my wonderful inmates at The Keep: You guys are the best!! Thanks for all your support and allowing me to become part of your own creative storylines. You guys totally rock. Now you'll finally see the side of D that's he's kept hidden from you!! Dreamer, Trooper and Rocky....thanks for being my right-hand ladies. ^5 to you all.

My hope is to generate enough interest in the book to get one of the national publishers interested in taking a keek at it. If you like the book, please, recommend it to a friend. Word of mouth can travel faster than any marketing that I could do on my own. I'd be most grateful. If you read it and don't like it....well, I appreciate it that you took the time to find out. Perhaps my next one might work better....

Thanks again, everyone, for hanging in there with me.
