I was going to write up something so that everyone could get an idea of what’s going on with my new book, but Erin Scholze, of Dreamspider Publicity, said it so well that I cannot improve upon it….so I posted it below. My unending thanks to Erin. Preview the book at www.RoastingQuestions.com A delightful book [...]

Since my publisher is a non-profit organization, Roasting Questions will be sent to press once pre-sales have raised enough money to cover the printing costs.
