Do you ever read the book reviews on Amazon before ordering a book? Many people want to view what others think about the book before buying it.
Earlier I requested reviews for our latest cookbook, Cooking in the Midwest – A Collection of Favorite Recipes from the Heartland. It is a new book in need of reviews. I reached out to you and you may be thinking, “OK, how do I write a review and do they even matter?”
Have you ever had a business cycle motivation problem? Wheels spin but not much forward progress? That’s the way I’m feeling as I’ve been in a writing slump lately. I’m wondering whether it is the rainy days, the sunny days, or just the fact it is 
summer. I’ve found it hard to motivate myself to get work done. That’s the problem with being in business as an entrepreneur. Nobody says what needs to get done nor when to do it.
I would really like for you to visit my new page at

Yes, I know – it’s a long URL, but if you give it a “like” I will be forever grateful, and even shorten it! Bitly.com can do that, but the long version gives you a preview of what you might be looking at. I need to spread the word more and I would like you to help me. Will you do that?
Best to you,

Our book, The Littlest Christmas Kitten, just went up on YouTube at http://bit.ly/er8Qnm – just in time for the season. It’s a children’s story for ages 2 to 12.
This book, illustrated by Kelly Dupre, a talented young artist from Minnesota, captures the excitement of the animals as they sense something important is happening on this Holy Night. Two strangers enter the place where the animals are kept, while a mother cat searches frantically for her little lost kitten. Before the night is over, there is the singing of angels, and animals greeting the newborn child. It is a night to be remembered down through the ages of the cat kingdom.
The chef is feeling so good about himself! Sigh! Sigh! I just used Power Point for a meeting and it worked!
You young readers won’t think this is a big deal – but for those of us who haven’t always used computers or cell phones, anytime the machine works – that’s a good thing!
I attended a meeting over the week-end and now wanted to share the information with my staff. I decided the best and easiest way to do this was to make a Power Point presentation.
