With a
deadline looming, my post last month was short. The deadline looms ever closer so
my post this month is even shorter. I’m sprinting towards June 15th
– the date Come Shell or High Water, book 1 in my new Haunted Shell Shop
mystery series is due on the editor’s desk. By golly, I’m going to make that
deadline come shell or high water. More about the series next month but here’s
a teaser: Figs are big on Ocracoke Island where the series takes place.
Here’s the
request and reward: Do you have a favorite fig recipe you’re willing to share?
I’m looking for three to use in the book. If I’m able to use your recipe
in the book, I’ll mention you in the acknowledgments and in a post with the
recipe on Mystery Lovers’ Kitchen. I’ll also name a character after you in book
2.
Questions you
might ask:
Q: Is this a
contest?
A: Yes. I
won’t be able to use all the recipes sent.
Q: May I send
the recipe I’ve been using from a cookbook or an online source?
A: Yes, but
please tell me the name of the cookbook or website, so that I’m aware. I’ll adapt
the recipe to make it my own – and will still give you credit.
Q:What will
you do if you end up with too many wonderful recipes?
A: Eat too
much while testing them. I hope to put three recipes in each of the books, though,
so if I end up with more than the three I can use in Come Shell or High
Water, then I’ll save three for book 2 and three for book 3.
Put your
recipe in a comment below or contact me at MMWoolly@gmail.com.
Thank you!
