Let's Hang Out! Hands-On Home Giveaway & Events

Hello, you gorgeous and witty people. As of today it is officially one week until the release of my book!

Upcoming Events!

Wanna hang out? I’d love to meet you in person, and I’m doing a few Author Talks and Book Signing Events here in the Pacific Northwest in support of the book. I think you should come out and keep me company! We can tell dirty jokes and swap canning tips – it’ll be great!

    Well, I’d certainly love to have a signed copy of your book (no kidding, was musing that today), but as I’m noname at nowhere by choice, and don’t do Facebook or drive, guess I am way out of luck. But best of luck to you there and whereever!!!

    It’s funny – Powell’s says they have a “used” copy of your book for $19.95, “only one left!” or you can pre-order the hardcover for $35. Not sure what’s going on there.

    Hope I can make it downtown on a Monday night – it would be great to meet you!

      A review copy, perhaps? Or did a truckload of books get waylaid somewhere on I-5?

    I just preordered! Between your advice and Steve Solomon’s, I learned how to put together my first vegetable garden this year. More than happy to support you, and wish you the best!

    Wow, Erica! We just returned home from vacation, and when hubby came back from the post office with all the mail, among that mess was your book I’d pre-ordered. It’s now 5:30 p.m. and I confess that other than one load of laundry, the ONLY thing I accomplished today was devouring your book! I absolutely love how it’s sectioned – huge plus on that. Love all the DIY goodies….oh, who am I kidding? I absolutely love everything about it. Am thinking this will make the perfect Christmas gift for a couple of people on my list this year! Thank you!!

    Goodreads is doing their preliminary voting for best of 2015, I wrote in your book, and more people need to do the same! https://www.goodreads.com/choiceawards/best-food-cookbooks-2015
