When my book was assigned an ISBN (International Standard Book Number) and listed on Amazon I knew the forces of nature that ultimately push a book to completion were in full swing. I felt a surge of pride when I clicked over to the Amazon page. The publication date is in May 2011, around the date of the Kentucky Derby, so for now we’ll have to settle for pre-orders. Thanks so far for the support and kind words from my friends on Facebook, Twitter, and my bricks-and-mortar family and friends. I mean it when I say this book is for you. It’s my gift to help anyone willing to pick up a sharp knife cook a few more fresh meals at home.  Here’s the Amazon page.
