Did you know there is a publishing company in Weaver, IA? Neither did I! When I think of publishing company, I think of New York City or Phoenix, Arizona, not little itty, bitty Weaver, IA! But it's there, I've been there and we are now carrying Hearts-n-Tummies cookbooks. For this aspiring author, it's exciting to be working with a local publisher.
So how did we hook up? Last winter, Bruce Carson, the owner of Hearts-n-Tummies called me wondering if I'd be interested in carrying his cookbooks at our farm stand. I told him I was interested, but at the time we were leaving on a trip or something and I'd have to get back with him. I forgot all about it until a few weeks ago when I was brain picking a fellow vendor who writes and sells her own children's books about self-publishing. She suggested I get in contact with Bruce. As she described what he does, I realized he was the one who called so I called and set up an appointment to kill two birds with one stone.
Bruce is an awesome guy. We talked about the books I am writing and the publishing process. He offered to mentor me and I offered to carry his cookbooks! What a deal! We even talked about the possibility of me writing a cookbook about using pasture raised eggs!
I'll plan to do some short reviews of some of his cookbooks. There are tons of them, I don't know if I'd ever have time to do them all! So be looking for cook book posts!
God Bless You All!
