Sharing my recipes from A to Z, along with my philosophy about family dinners, became my theme for the Challenge and my marketing plan. I'm not much of a book marketer. Most of what I do is online, to a fairly limited audience. The Challenge presented the ideal opportunity for me to talk about my upcoming cookbook.
And guess what! I've got a cover! All the recipes posted in April, along with many others-- 100 total-- will be included in my book, Farm Girl Country Cooking: Hearty Meals for the Active Family
To be released June 18 by WiDo Publishing
If you'd like to see the summary or add my cookbook to your to-read list, you can find it here on Goodreads.
Smart thinking, Karen! And your cover looks tasty. (Not that I'm going to bite or lick it or anything.)
ReplyDeleteSmart marketing! That cover looks delicious :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice! And the cover looks really very good indeed.
ReplyDeleteI will be adding it. I jotted down some of your recepies already.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen .. that is great - fantastic news ... love the look of the cover and those photos by your daughter-in-law have been amazing ..
ReplyDeleteGreat only 7 weeks or so to go .. count me in .. cheers Hilary
I love this idea Karen!
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever-the cover looks delicious ;D
Congrats on finishing the challenge!!!
A fabulous cover and a great title. Congrats, Karen.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, and some of those recipes have been reader tested, too. Don't forget that. The Maine Muffins were a fave with me. A great marketing plan in retrospect, isn't it? A focus group of your own in the challenge. Smart lady.
ReplyDeleteNice! I'd like to lick that bottom plate clean,I think.
ReplyDeleteThat's a scrumptious-looking cover. :) Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your recipes. I had some boneless pork chops I needed to use up one day. I adjusted your crock pot rib recipe for them. Delicious!
ReplyDeleteCOngratulations! I cant wait to read this book. Your recipes are fabulous!
ReplyDelete*Basic*Solid*Good*Eating*
ReplyDeleteAKA=Yum.
The cover looks really great, and that's awesome that you were able to include the recipes in the book! I wish I could eat dinner at your house. :)
ReplyDeleteI had great visits here in April and you gave me some meal ideas that saved my neck. After all, who can shop, cook and do the AtoZ 100% effectively without some help?
ReplyDeleteThis sounds stunning! Good call on using the challenge as a marketing tool. :-D
ReplyDeleteYUM! Delicious cover! :)
ReplyDeleteThat cover looks good enough to eat!
ReplyDeleteDear Karen, such an inviting and appealing cover! I'm sure it will help sell your book. Since I'm a vegan, I won't be ordering it, but I wish you every success with your marketing and selling of your cookbook, which as we have seen from your recipes for the Challenge, offers tasty dishes. Peace.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
ReplyDeleteJust dropping in from the A-to-Z Challenge Roadtrip/reflections - unfortunately I didn't get to visit during the challenge but I am always on the look out for new recipes and yours look great.
