#SampleSunday: A Gift To My Beloved E-Readers

To celebrate the sale of my 2000th copy of The Crazy Old Lady In The Attic I've created an e-book that is a sampler of my other work. It is called Romance, Crime, Good Food: The Kathleen Valentine Sampler and it is FREE on Smashwords and Goodreads. I am trying to make it free from Amazon and B&N, too, but that takes longer. This little sampler offers 4 short stories, three chapters from three novels, two essays from my cookbook/memoir and eight traditional Pennsylvania Dutch recipes.


You can download your free copy at Smashwords in your choice of many formats and at  Goodreads in ePub. Currently it is 99 cents on Amazon and B&N -- I'll let you know when they make it free. But, seriously, the recipes alone are worth 99 cents. Inside of it you will find:

• Flynnie and Babe (romantic short story)
• Danse Avec Moi (romantic short story)
• Home-made Pie & Sausage (crime/horror short story)
• Mardi Gras Was Over (love/adventure short story)
• the chapter from The Old Mermaid's Tale in which Clair meets Pio and Gary
• the chapter from Each Angel Burns in which Maggie encounters Peter after 30 years
• the Prologue from my soon-to-be-released novel Depraved Heart
• two essays: Dandelion Salad and Tell Me a Story from Fry Bacon. Add Onions
• eight yummy, traditional family recipes from Fry Bacon. Add Onions.

I hope you will enjoy them. Happy reading and Bon Apetit!


Thanks for reading.
