#WriteACookbook

I am going to do a series about cook books, since that is where I have the most expertise and many of the people on our mailing list sign up through our www.publishacookbook.com website. 

I co-authored Fit to Cook - Why 'Waist' Time in the Kitchen? with Chantal Jakel and Cynthia Kereluk. The book sold over 250,000 copies. Chantal and I were inspired to write the healthy recipe section by our experiences as nurses at a cancer clinic. Cynthia was an exercise guru with her own television show. It was a great collaboration.

None of us had experience with book publishing, so we thought that the book could be put together in about two months. Ignorance is bliss - sometimes. It took us over two years to get the book to the ready-to-print stage. There were very few resources for self publishers in the 1990's, so we stumbled along, discovering all of the things that we didn't know - and boy, were there ever many things to learn!!

Because Chantal and I have to get everything just right, we began our own extensive research program. Oh, my, the things we didn't know!

Stay tuned.
