be Your Most Appreciated Christmas Cookies Are for Giving is a collaborative effort that is pure magic. If it is used enthusiastically, it will make your kitchen smell like the holidays, your family happy and your Christmas gifts sing songs of good will.

have put together the perfect gift for stocking stuffers, your baby sitter, your

This little book is very complete. It includes packing tips and hints on presentation. It includes baking tips for the beginner and experts alike.

These might be the least expensive and the most welcome gifts you give this Christmas.
Oh! As an author whose own story-telling book has won three awards, I must tell you that this book also includes tales—short inspirations might be a better term, I promise you they are creatively told by a writer with a knack for nostalgia.
Carolyn Howard-Johnson is the awards-winning author of "This is the Place" and "Harkening" and "The Frugal Book Promoter: How to Do What Your Publisher Won't."
Carolyn Howard-Johnson’s book of stories, Harkening, also includes a Christmas story or two. The collection explores the truths in fiction and how fiction permeates nonfiction. Learn more at http://carolynhowardjohnson.com. |
