Author bio:
I know this will sound strange, but I have been writing since the age of twelve and only now have gotten around to publishing anything. Because of many things, ADHD not excluded, I will not let my work be seen until I feel it is as perfect as I can make it. What I'm trying to offer is a story with no gaping holes in the plot, one that follows it's own rules to the end and doesn't pull a wild card that makes no sense just for the sake of being able to call itself complete. To any readers that I earn the attention of, thank you very much for purchasing my work. I hope that you enjoy it all as much as I love writing it! And to everyone that gives feedback, be it positive or negative, I want to thank you in advance! Happy reading everyone! All contact information can be found on my website, including my talented cover artist.

Combining their research findings (both economic and demographic) with today's current lifestyle trends Cheryl and Les founded Chefs Secret Vault. Their concept was simple; due to the downturn in today's economy more people now have to cook and dine at home. Also more of us are using our computers than ever before. Putting this all together, Cheryl and Les created the Chefs Secret Vault, Sampler program. Today hardcopy cookbooks can cost well over $30. Surveys show most people use less than 20 recipes out of one cookbook. Armed with this information they figured why not create a mini cookbook (a sampler) with 20 Best of the Best recipes for a given subject such as meat, or vegetables, etc. This concept would allow them to be able to charge only a fraction of the expensive hardcopy cookbook price. They offer their samplers in formats that can be downloaded by every electronic reader now known. This also saves the customer money on shipping.
