|

frances and i have just "published" our first cookbook; it's a downloadable cookbook called "cooking with apples", and it's got over 90 recipes that feature apples in one form or another, covering everything from appetizers to dessert (and yes, pam, there's a cake recipe in there. in fact, there are 10).
some of you were kind enough to review the cookbook for us last year, and several of your suggestions made it into the final version (and 3 of our members are featured on the book's sales page; wouldn't you like to know who? )
if you visit the sales page, don't be alarmed when you don't see my name or frances's on it; like many famous authors ( ), we decided to use a pen name (it's louisa mccree).
also, if you visit the sales page, i'd be happy to hear your reaction to it.
and if you can't resist buying one, we'd be very happy to hear what you think of it, how you liked the recipes, etc.; so far, everybody that's gotten a copy has really liked it.
oh, yeah; the link is in my signature. _________________

I think this is an awesome idea. Kudos to you and Frances for doing this.
The one comment I have is that the website looks "shady". I don't mean to offend. The website is visually appealling but it has that feeling. I don't know how to describe it but I know when I see it. I think people may be turned off by the look.
Again, I don't want to be a downer. I think it is beyond wonderful that you are doing this. This is meant to be constructive criticism even though it isn't very specific.

Kevin, I understand what Melissa means by "shady". Many self-published books, home remedy cures, pyramid scheme type pages use that same web page format.....you have to scroll, scroll, scroll to find out anything about the price. It may be a function of the web service you are using or who ever is helping you publish. But it does have that same look. Hope this helps.
