How to Get Good Books


As you know, if you haven’t been living under a rock and/or if you follow my blog at all, RHP has a new book coming out in a couple weeks – INNspiring Breakfasts! It’s awesome, it’s amazing, and you can pre-order it NOW. Trust me, it’s worth it! And, next Wednesday, you’ll be hearing from Kriss Royer herself – you can get all the inside info on running a B&B and publishing a cookbook!

In the meantime, you can still order, direct from us because hey, it’s DIRECT FROM US, our fantastic children’s book, DEBBIE; our steamy romance, SEVEN DIRTY WORDS; and adult dystopian fiction, REDUCED and REUSED.

Kids from age five and up will love DEBBIE, and maybe, just maybe, she’ll soon have her very own blog (hint, hint, Conny!). And SEVEN DIRTY WORDS has been said to be a “great beach read.” Plus, look for FOUR LETTER WORDS early next year – so now you HAVE to get SDW, no excuses!

(Is it weird that I just talked about a children’s book and a hot romance in the same paragraph? Yes, yes it is. Hmmm.)

REDUCED and REUSED are for grown-ups too – but not “adult” as in “adult,” ya know? But our characters are all, oh, nearly 30 years old or (gasp) even in their forties… Why should teenagers get to have all the fun with guns and things when the world implodes?

So, make a list, click “buy,” and check it twice: you’ll be able to put breakfast in the oven, read to the kids, send them out to play and pick up a good book to read for yourself, whether it’s romance or sci-fi. Or both.

Read, read, read!

INNspirational Series


It’s my pleasure to introduce to you all to the first in the planned INNspirational Series of cookbooks from Rocking Horse Publishing!

“INNspiring Breakfasts is the first in the series of scrumptious cookbooks straight from the High Street Victorian Bed and Breakfast in Boonville, Missouri. Ninety-seven recipes, most with full-color photos, grace the pages of this wonderful culinary volume, interspersed with Bible passages and short devotions as well as tips and how-tos.”

Author Kriss Royer, co-owner of the High Street Victorian B&B, includes tricks, tips, and variations of several recipes and yes, she’s created and perfected them all. Gene Royer, Kriss’ husband and co-owner of the High Street Victorian, is a fantastic photographer.

I was going over the final edits yesterday, and it’s a good thing we all use computers now – pretty sure I was drooling over the pictures and I would have hated to smudge the ink on a paper copy. “INNspiring” is a completely apt description, because I wanted to run into the kitchen and start cooking!

You’re going to love this cookbook, and you can pre-order it now via the RHP website. Just $24.95, and the books will be shipped at the end of May. Plus, you can order all kinds of stuff for your home and kitchen through Café Press.

INNspiring Breakfasts will be available on Amazon and in bookstores across the country starting in June, as well as at the High Street Victorian and specialty shops in the mid-MO and St. Louis areas.

Let’s start cooking!
