March 2-8,2008, "American Profile" magazine supplement featured "Sleep On It" with a very nice write up, pictures, and 4 of the recipes from the book! I've been receiving calls from all over the mid-west, up state PA, and as far as Santa Fe,NM for people wanting books. Amazon.com even gave us a ranking of #373 for awhile. I guess I'm getting a little ahead of myself but wanted to share the good news with you.<br />More later about how to write and publish a book.......<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5249673044565055017-2421391657564540708?l=overnightrecipes.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Carolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01086146356546306279noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249673044565055017.post-22761841085383531622008-03-09T11:42:00.000-04:002008-03-09T11:54:25.556-04:00<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">It was 1999, my husband, Jerry, and I were making the move to Cape Cod, MA. Only thing about it--we didn't have any jobs. We were "in transition" from Jerry being a college football coach to my owning a small marketing company</span>. We looked and looked at many inns. Some were too fussy, some to extreme, some the owner's quarters were in the basement or a converted garage, and, of course, some just way too expensive! It was important to us to have owner's quarters that would accommodate our family when they visited as well as feel like our home. We finally found one that "spoke to us" and felt like home. How exciting!. A 5 bedroom Greek Revival that had been floated over from Nantucket in the 1800's, now located in Chatham, MA. How to buy it without having employment and not alot of savings? Always a believer in creative financing, Jerry and I put together a small portfolio of our finances and our marketing abilities. Off we went to the bank. Viola! The gods were with us and approved our mortgage. May 26, 1999, we became the owners of the Nantucket House of Chatham Bed &amp; Breakfast. That was only the beginning........<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5249673044565055017-2276184108538353162?l=overnightrecipes.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Carolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01086146356546306279noreply@blogger.com3
