Yes friends, it’s true. When I’m not writing, I cook to relax. Unfortunately, I haven’t had much chance to cook lately. I’ve been quite busy trying to get this new romance series off the ground. Once the first book is complete and the series goes into a sort of autopilot, I should have more time.

I cooked this lentil soup last weekend. It was only the second time I tried it, and I came pretty close to it being as good as any I’ve ever tasted. I think I used just a tiny bit too much salt. Other than that, it was great. I’m confident the next time I try it, I’ll have it all nailed down.

This type of soup is yummy, filling, and quite easy to make. Along with some feta cheese and fresh bread, it makes a fabulous meal. There are several recipes online, each as good as the other, so if you want to give it a try, I highly recommend it.

As far as my latest book, the second draft is complete. Now I just have to take care of a few things and it should be ready to go on sale. See my last update below for more details.
