Natalie Shelton thought she knew her husband.

She didn’t.

 

Out on Tuesday, just in time for Halloween!

Need a book for Halloween for under five bucks?

These are all on sale, on kindle.

May your night be spooky and wild in a literary sort of way.

I FINALLY remembered to post a photo of a book group I visited. If you would like me to visit your book group, I’m happy to come.

Skype works well!

My next book, The Man She Married, is out on October 30th, so of course is makes sense that I had Innocent Husband dress up as the King of Hearts.

A short and sweet summary: Natalie Shelton is in a coma. That’s not her only problem.

There’s humor in it, I promise!

I am such a bad cook I can’t even make pancakes.

I’m supposed to get a few recipes together for an article about my new book The Man She Married. The request sent me into a mini-panic because I don’t cook.

Innocent Husband says I “cook by fire alarm.” As in, when the fire alarm goes off because of billows of black smoke I know that the food is burned enough.

Rebel Dancing Daughter, Darling Laughing Son, and Adventurous Singing Daughter once told me that I “re-heat” food. I told them they didn’t starve when they were kids, did they, so what the heck was the problem?

They laughed.

I told them in a grumpy voice that they were all grounded.

They laughed again.

Luckily, I have my late father’s recipe for buttermilk pancakes that he used to make for us every Saturday when we were kids, so – whew – I would use that.

But they needed a photo so I had to make the pancakes, and yes, I managed to pour half a bag of powdered sugar over the top. Why did I need a sprinkle of powdered sugar over the top? Because I burned parts of the pancakes.

I am going back to what I do best: Eating. Reading. Daydreaming. But if YOU need the best pancakes in the world, here’s the recipe.

My Dad’s Delicious Buttermilk Pancakes

Three cups buttermilk

Two and a half cups flour

Two eggs, beaten

One tablespoon baking powder

One teaspoon salt

Three quarters teaspoon baking soda

One tablespoon hot water

Two tablespoons corn syrup

Mix the buttermilk and flour. Cover and let stand in the fridge for 12 hours. The next DAY add the beaten eggs, baking powder, salt, dissolve the baking soda in the hot water. Add the corn syrup.

Mix again. Heat that griddle up and enjoy.

(Don’t burn them. The fire alarm will go off. Trust me. I know this.)

Hello all,

I have no idea why, but the cost for the paperback of my new book, The Man She Married, just dropped to $10.97.

Out October 30th, in time for Halloween, but there are no witches or ghosts in this story, unfortunately.

Only a woman who has discovered that her husband has totally lied to her about his past.

Which is, of course, a bit spooky.

Fishing with Innocent Husband on Sunday on the McKenzie River.

Well, he fished. I helpfully asked the fish to eat the fly.

Plus, I ate the chocolate chip cookies. Someone has to do the hard work.

Twenty-five years married. Three beloved kids. Two cats, one naughty.

Good times and tough times, and I still think he’s a handsome, huggable fisherman.

 

22 days.

How well do you really know your spouse?

My latest book is on sale for $2.99.

A short and sweet summary:

A 105 year old cookbook.

Six generations of women. Four countries. Four languages. One mystery.

I hope you like it! It’s a sweet deal. (‘Sweet,’ as in, there’s CAKE in this book!)
