I don't think there could be a better agent in the world. Thanks for your support over the past decade. And make sure that daughter gets a good payday for that tooth like you did for me.

What a cool way to take photos. Light photography is it called? I love people who are not afraid to go into the deep end of their craft. They really tend to write the best books.

Thank you for the video. It certainly opened my eyes to how much of a team effort a cookbook is. I’m always looking at it from the view of the author or creator. But there are many departments and teams involved in the conception, writing, publication, distributing, and marketing processes.

Love this live reveal. It reminded me that even after 20+ years in publishing I still get ridiculously excited when the actual copy of the book arrives. AND I learned something about light painting! Thanks!

Oh, THAT was fun. And truly, never would have thought I needed a bbq-centric cookbook. But now...maybe? Loved it. (And look forward to seeing you in Nashville in April for the MFK Symposium!)
