I am excited to share with you all Divinity Warriors’ new look! If you haven’t given this series a try, now is the perfect time to check out these alternate reality romances.

Divinity Warriors – Welcome to the world of alpha warriors and the women they try to tame. Hear that laughter? Yeah, that’s the women. Aren’t those big tough alphas just adorable when they try to be all in charge like that?

Divinity Healers – Like doctors? That air of authority? Have a thing for lab coats and self-driving cars? Or maybe you’re just a germ-a-phobe? This series installment is for you.

I’m curious to know which one is your favorite new cover?

Fried Green Tomatoes

by

friedgreentomatoesFried Green Tomatoes Recipe

The husband made me fried green tomatoes. One of my absolute favorites!!

My family has made them my entire life (longer, even) and though they come in many variations.

The secret is slicing the tomatoes and soaking them in salted ice water for an hour before you start the cooking process. This gives them the best tangy taste.

Directions:

  1. Soak in salty ice water for an hour
  2. Dip in an mix of egg and milk
  3. Dip in a dry mix of flour, salt, pepper
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to make sure they’re really coated
  5. Fry. Oil needs to be hot. About 2 mins each side or until golden brown
  6. Cool on paper towel

Vellum – Ebook Formatting for Authors

Ivellum-logotype-flowerndie and Hybrid Authors: Read the full interview with the creators of Vellum (ebook formatting software): Brad Andalman and Brad West

Book formatting has improved by leaps and bounds over the last several years for DIY authors. In 2008 I remember staring at html coding to fix book errors, and utilizing multiple book generators to get all the formats I needed for all the vendors who had different requirements. It could be a time consuming nightmare. (Let me just say, zipped html file to make a kindle mobi). Then, I had to hope that the vendor’s grinder took the book and didn’t mess up the tweaks I’d made. And then, I’d have to hope that a vendor didn’t suddenly change a requirement or a device feature that made me have to go re-format backlist all over again. Yes, that nightmare happened on a couple occasions. Nothing like three straight days reformatting 75 gazillion books. (I may be exaggerating a little on the number)

Luckily, times they are a changin’. I’ve used darn near every program that’s come on the market over the years, and (if you happen to be a MAC user) Vellum is one of my favorites.  It’s fairly simple to use, has a fast learning curve, and the best part is they continually do updates to the program to keep it up-to-date with vendor standards.
