A Tipsy Man Goes Naked - Love Tales and Recipes

A Tipsy Man Goes Naked - Love Tales and Recipes

This is the title of my latest book, and possibly the cover…

This book has had a verylong gestation period, like twenty years!

I wrote some stories in 1999 and then had the idea for the book in 2009, but it took time to assemble the characters and recipes.

I presented it to a publisher who told me to forget the idea altogether as there was no market for short stories and recipes but I knew there was and I refused to give up, even if I had to park the project for a few years until the world had caught up with my concept.

In the interim, I worked on other books, equally important but maybe not as much fun as this one.

It’s like the icing on the cake to get the chance to write what you really want, playfully and with child-like imagination, rather than something that is fitting into non-fiction parameters. This is the beauty of writing fiction, it allows the author so much more space to roam in the fertile plains of the imagination.

It’s not all fun. It's a slog and a need for the noseto be at the grindstone, especially in terms of the editing and marketing of any book, but this book still weighs in with more pleasure than pain, and maybe that’s because I’ve matured as a writer. I’ve learned the business end not completely,there is always more to learn. But I’m not the greenhorn I was.

I’m grateful for my learning and the opportunity to present this book to the world. It should hit the online bookstores in about 4 weeks.

The Muse of Aroma and Taste offers the reader a collection of short stories, recipes, and anecdotes that explore food, love, and the senses in a single day.
