Under the Covers with Nancy Lauzon
Welcome Nancy Lauzon, author of the Chick Dick Mysteries. Don’t you love the series name?
Nancy will be sharing her thoughts on book covers, something I know she is passionate about.
She has also generously offered to run a CONTEST. THREE LUCKY PEOPLE will each win one one of her fabulous books in the Chick Dick Mysteries. If you love mystery, comedy, intrigue and romance, you’re in for a real treat.
CONTEST DETAILS BELOW:
Take it away, Nancy. . . . (Please note: the covers shown here are Nancy’s NEW covers, not the ones she is discussing)
Good quality book cover art is absolutely crucial to a writer’s sales. Or as fellow blogger Chuck Wendig puts it: ‘Make sure your cover doesn’t suck a bag of dicks.’ I apologize for the rough language, but there’s just no better way of saying it.
Exclusive Interview with Celebrity Chef Fabio Viviani
This charismatic celebrity chef hates cilantro.
At seven years old, he set fire to his grandmother’s kitchen.
He explains why he reviewed his own cook book on Amazon. Bravo to him, I say.
He gives us insight into reality television.
Fabio is generously gifting EVERYONE free copies of all his eCookBooks.
Details below.
I had the pleasure of speaking with Fabio (Top Chef Contestant) on the phone before Christmas. I wish I could have taped our conversation so you could all appreciate his wit, tongue-in-cheek sense of humor, infectious laughter, and warm personality all wrapped up with a delightful accent.
Here is a transcript of our conversation, (excluding all the laughter we both shared) plus a delicious easy-to-follow risotto recipe.
