Todays TitleBought this book mid "The Walking Dead" craze to add to my collection. Lots of macabre-sounding recipes inside and snarky lines. Below is a sample.The back cover has an interesting backstory, touting a woman just trying to fight the dead and feed the living, from "brain food to finger food, from sticky sweets to killer cocktails." The three chapters are titled:Appetizers

For years, I have hosted a White Elephant Book Exchange Christmas Party for writers at my home.Guests are instructed to bring a gift wrapped book featuring an offbeat, odd, or strange subject or title.All in relatively good taste, of course. Nothing of a pornographic nature or ridden with tasteless expletives. And no bashing of other authors. One year an author actually brought her fellow

Bookish Desires: Independent Bookstores and Me

I'm an author, but I'm also a reader. And in honor of Independent Bookstore Day, I'm sharing my experiences at two stores I've frequented over the years. One is well-known, famous on the west coast. The other is obscure, but fascinating. Every independent bookstore has its own distinct personality. I've visited my share of independent bookstores. Powell's Books in Portland

Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies

My girls ask for these cookies every year. I started making them when they were kids and I don't even use a recipe. My hands know what to do to make these Christmas delights. But for everyone else's sake, I decided to write a recipe down. These cookies are our family's favorite. Maybe they'll be yours too! Merry Christmas! And have a blessed New Year!

by Linda Kozar The first time I danced with my father was at home. I was eight or nine years old and I remember my sister and I took turns dancing with Dad while the stereo played, our bare feet atop his shoes. We had great fun twirling around and pretending we were princesses. And Daddy smiled right along with us. Years later, I danced with my father at a wedding our family

Embellished or Embarrassing--Your Thoughts? By Linda Kozar

What a great idea--to refurbish not-so-old books and give them an old-world look! I found two of these books at an old antique shop. One book was a Reader's Digest Condensed Book--four novels in one. Remember those? The other was James Patterson's "Along Came A Spider." Both books were given the treatment--stenciling, gilding, sanding and other embellishments. If you know me and the way I
