Two Free Cookbooks and a Book of Inspiration for Writers Offered by Carolyn this Season
To readers and writers everywhere:
You will find three e-books, gifts to you for taking the trouble to visit my site. Go to http://carolynhowardjohnson.com to find two cook books, SEASONED GREETINGS, edited by Sarah Mankowski, and COOKING BY THE BOOK, edited by Kathleen Walls. Both include recipes that inspired scenes in my two books, THIS IS THE PLACE and HARKENING.
The recipes include a 50s recipe for Chocolate Cherry Nut Cake that my mother made and decorated with sparklers for Utah's 24th of July (yes, 24th is correct!) celebration, a mustard pickle recipe passed down from my polygamist great grandmother, a raspberry jam recipe given to me by my grandmother (I based the character of Harriet in THIS IS THE PLACE) on this strong-willed woman and more. There are recipes that inspired many other authors as well as excerpts from their writing and biographies on the writers themselves.
Writers might also find MUSINGS; AUTHORS DO IT WRITE! helpful. It's an a book of essays meant to inspire fellow writer put together by editor Kristie Leigh Maguire.
All three are free for the downloading with my thanks for several wonderful years of publishing. Or print them out and tuck them into the stockings of loved ones.
Oh, to find SEASONED GREETINGS, you'll need to click on the sixth link down on the left of the home page under "links." The other two are clearly evident on the home page.
While you're there, please drop a note in my guestbook. I'd love to hear from you.
