Killer Recipes, an L & L Dreamspell cookbook to benefit cancer research.

www.lldreamspell. com/KillerRecipes.htm
I start with the URL because who can adequately describe a "Killer
Recipe" book? The authors at L & L Dreamspell share a special
camaraderie at their Yahoo group. They decided to put together a
charity project that would reflect the nature of many books produced by
their publisher and the fun aspects of writing fiction. "Killer"
titles for our own favorites, tested and true are included. With
Halloween on the horizon, its release couldn't be better timed - all
proceeds will benefit cancer research.


The skeleton chef logo is also a hoot. Check it out when directed
by the L & L Dreamspell website to Cafe Press for gifts to send
along with the book. So often, writing is serious business. This is
a chance to enjoy a less than serious killer experience that has a
positive benefit. Here's a sampling of the contents - and don't miss
D.K. Christi's, "Reckless Sailor's Key Lime Dip" from the days of my
blue water sailing in the Caribbean. I think that recipe and others
are also found in my debut novel, Arirang: The Bamboo Connection.

The book is up at Amazon.com and the Kindle is $4.76, not bad for the number of unique recipes. I don't have a kindle, but I downloaded it to my pc. I bought a copy; no free for the contributors or there won't be any profits for the charity :-)

It'll make a nice Halloween gift...
