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.

Watch the video replay below: And please drop your questions in the comments or our subscriber chat!

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!
