Book club book talk

An overview of the life of an author

Today is book club meeting day, though I have learned in hosting it that scheduling for 2 PM on a Thursday didn’t work for most folks’ schedules. Live and learn!

This presented me a great opportunity, though, because I realized I hadn’t really ever shared with you the journey of writing multiple books over the course of two careers and about a decade and a half of time (you can see all my books here).

So in this talk, I walk through the story of my writing journey, in relationship to books about food (I didn’t talk about my writing in Library Science or my non-book writing about food, not because they aren’t interesting, but because this is a food book club).

There are a lot of things I didn’t cover: Like a day in the life of a professional writer, or the process of getting my book deals (shout out to Lisa and Sally Ekus, and please follow

if you aren’t already!)

So if you have questions: I want to hear them! Anything goes: About the books themselves, the writing process, juggling writing and the rest of life, or whatever else.

P.S. if you’re struggling for last minute Valentine’s gifts, an online culinary course, or a workshop or class for a creative spirit you love are great options.

Please let me know when you order if you’d like me to send a custom gift email to make it feel extra special!
