Several years ago, I had this great idea to have a Fiesta, and make authentic Mexican food for Cinco De Mayo. My failed attempted at making Chicken Tamales, without corn husk, has not been spoken of since. That's a story for another day.

Blueprint for Style is providing insight into the latest swimsuit trends for the season PLUS one better, giving advice on "correcting" some of our problem areas. This week it's all about animal prints and one piece hotness!

Host a Series of Events. Speak for free. Yes, run your mouth. Most authors just want to write in a cave and appear when the book is published and on the shelves. But that's not how it works! You have to pre-promote the book and talk it up months before it's even done. Promoting the book at least six months before it's published in not too soon. So, set up events where you speak at conferences, schools, churches - anywhere and everywhere - and tell folks you have a book coming out! (And don't forget to get their email addresses).

With spring comes baseball and softball seasons, and ballpark food. Instead of just peanuts, hot dogs, and popcorn ballpark fare can be culinary experience enjoyed at home, any time of the year.
