Rainy Day + Bookmarks

Today has been a rainy day here, with off and on thunder and lightning. It seems we finally have our first good storm of the year! Personally I think it's the universe conspiring against me, trying to force me to stay inside and edit. It knows I have so much to edit. It knows I've been avoiding.

So I've been inside, frenziedly working on the recipes for the third Yolks on You book. It's so weird to try to make dishes with the flavors of a particular time of year when you're not actually in that time of year, but I think they turned out well, and even the ones I was less sure about got thumbs-up from my totally-certified taste-tester. Success!

And another excitement: I now have bookmarks for Shell Shocked! Don't they look great? I'm pleased how they turned out, and am eager to find them all new homes. Can't wait to stick one of these suckers into a physical copy of the book!

Cheers!

What's in the Cards Next

So this is me right now. Or part of me! It's been a while since I did a reading, and little novice me ended up with something pretty good. Turns out the cards say I'm mostly on the right path with this writing thing, although my personal life could use a few tweaks...
 

But! My cards were awash in disks, and the good news is this: Shell Shocked is going to print! I'm so excited I will be using more exclamation marks than is strictly necessary. This is really happening! A real, live (okay, it won't be living), physical book you can hold in your hands is now available to purchase.
 

If you're the kind of person who likes to read print copies, go ahead and check out Shell Shocked for a belated basket stuffer. And start getting excited for the next in the series, Egg Whites and Blue, which will be making an appearance over 4th of July weekend. This one is going to be even better! Trust me--would the author lie to you?
 

I'm off to find a glass of wine to celebrate. Cheers!
