I've discovered
something funny about writing romance books – I like 'em sweet. Literally. In
my first, Sweet Dreams, the cover art
shows an original photograph of brightly colored [and incredibly sweet and
fruity] French macarons. These sandwich-type cookies are small and delicate but
oh so worth it! Subtle hint: try one…or a few!
But how do I go
from macarons to the classic and better known dessert of brownies? Well, I didn't
plan it. In fact, I thought I was writing the first book of the romance series,
which is about cakes, not brownies. Even though I was following a detailed
outline, the brownie angle took over and so I went with it. The first book of
the Yolanda's Yummery series establishes how this yummery [bakery] came into
existence.
Here's what The Great Brownie Taste-off is about…
Yolanda Carter comes from a family of artisans
and lives in her deceased grandparent's cottage in Sherman Oaks, California.
She works at a small cat shelter but dreams of owning a bakery. Her friend from high school, Teagan Mishkin, knows that
Yolanda needs money and suggests better paying work as a cocktail waitress. The
interview takes an unexpected turn and she stumbles across a scheme to close
down the cat shelter.
The plan Yolanda concocts may
be the only way to save the shelter. Helped by her parents, coworkers and
friends, a rising young blogger also takes an interest in her plight. Will she
bake the best brownies of her life?
