Spice Master is out in the world!

 

Hi! Hi! Hi! Bonjour!

The Spice Master at Bistro Exotique released into the wild this past Tuesday. Popsugar named it a December must read! The NY Post says it's one of three spicey stories you need to read. And le book is also an Amazon editor's pick! (the latter has never happened to any of my books!)

There is so much online activity, I can't keep up! All I can do is thank my lucky stars. Thank you to all of the book bloggers and sites who are helping readers to spice up their lives...

 THIS is the schedule! Woah!
