Allie's looking at ghosts again.  She does this periodically.  And of course I believe her.  Most of my books feature ghosts after all.  👻  It's just too bad that I can't see them, too.  I did buy an EMF meter last year, just for fun, but it's never flashed into the red I See Dead People zone.  So, I don't know...

   One of my books, Under the Willows (a ghost story!), will be featured in the Bedside Reading program in the Hamptons (it's the weekend of the Hampton Film Festival in October).  I'm really pretty excited by the whole thing.  Too bad it's just my books that will attend, though.  Jane Ubell-Meyer, Founder of Bedside Reading, laid out the details of the campaign.  Impressive!  They offer wide-ranging author support and work hard to get the word out about books in their program.  Fingers crossed for a great response!!


   

    I'm trying out Facebook ads and Amazon ads.  The pricing looked so complicated, until I really investigated.  It still might be a little complicated, but we'll see if I did it right.  I'm curious to see whether it will spur any sales of my books.  But I know a lot of authors believe running these ads works for them, and I hope it will for me, as well.

    I hope you're all enjoying our country slowly returning to a semblance of normal.  Memorial Day spent with friends and without masks!  Who would have thought we'd ever get there?

 Hi.  That's Allie lounging in the sun.   I'm Pam.  I'm an author who's decided to learn to cook.  Not that I can't cook.  I microwave well!  I make salads!  I order online... Working from home, I have a lot more time to try new things. One thing I want to master is cooking.  For years, I've collected cookbooks and torn recipes out of magazines and printed recipes from the internet.  I have a TON of them shouting "Me! Me!," all trying to get my attention. I'm going to start with simple dishes.  I'm a lover of tuna noodle casseroles.  I can see a lot of frowns out there from people who either think it's an unhealthy choice or people who think it's too easy.  Mainly, I haven't had a tuna noodle casserole in a really long time and I miss it.  I thought I had a recipe tucked away somewhere that I've actually used in the past...the long ago past, but when I tried to find it I had no luck.  So, I've been searching for other recipe

  Allie thinks I'm invading her privacy.  That's her I'm not happy look. The tuna casserole was a success (even if it looks creepy in the picture).  My sister Sheila came over to try it.  She thought it was good but seemed more like a pasta dish than a casserole.  I forgot that I meant to add green chilis until I was in the middle of putting it together, but that can of green chilis I thought I had turned out to be nonexistent.  Maybe next time I'll make a list before I go to the market.  Maybe next time I'll put in jalapenos, too. Here are the casserole and the iffy Palmini recipe: And, in case you were wondering, here's a picture of my odd onion.  It's creepy, too.  Don't worry...I threw it away. I've already found my next cooking project.  It's from The Oaks, a spa in Ojai, so it should be super healthy (at least that's what I'm telling myself), only 180 calories.  It's called "Artichoke Chili Stuffed Potato." It's k
