It's September, and on the 21st <b><span style="color: #0b5394;">A Calculated Whisk</span></b>, Vintage Kitchen Mystery #10 (I cannot believe it is #10!!) is released into the wild. To celebrate, I am having a book blog tour designed by the awesome Lori at Great Escapes Book Blog Tours. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Follow along and comment at each stop, follow the rules, and you will be entered for the grand prize, which will be a $50 USD Amazon gift card!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">I hope you all enjoy A Calculated Whisk... it was so much fun being back in Queensville again with Jaymie, Jakob and Jocie, and Jaymie friends, Valetta and Mrs. Stubbs, who both have important contributions to solving the mystery! And of course Hoppy is there!!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">So... here is the schedule, and each day I will update the links to be to the actual blog that features A Calculated Whisk!

hot to cook, I usually pull out the oldest of vintage staples… the bean salad!
It is pretty, and tasty (I now think, tho’ my seven year old self would not
agree) and great to take to a pot luck. It stores well, and keeps for quite a
while. It makes lots and is a great veg/carb side when potatoes, rice or pasta
just won’t do the trick, and it is pretty much diet-friendly! I call that a
super food. So, here is my Old Fashioned Bean Salad recipe! (I first shared
this on Mystery Lovers Kitchen a couple of years ago!)</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 18pt;">Old Fashioned

Green, Wax (Yellow), (10 ounce cans) a Bean Mix and Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans)
as well as, if you like, Cannellini, or White Kidney Beans. Your choice, but
limit it to four small/medium cans of beans total for the amount of dressing
this makes. I happen to like Chickpeas, but if you don’t, just use another can
of mixed beans.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

white vinegar if you’re not sure. I used a blend of white wine vinegar and
plain white, because though I love the flavor of white wine vinegar, it has a
very specific fruity flavor.</span></p><p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">*½ to ¾ cup white

dissolved.

beans. I like to chop the green and yellow beans to smaller sizes consistent
with the chickpeas, etc.</span></p><p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">3 - Dice the onion,
celery and peppers and mix completely in a large bowl with the beans.</span></p><p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">4 - Cover with the
dressing and mix well. Store it in the fridge in a large container. Let it
marinate at least 24 hours before trying it. If you taste it too soon you will
think it bland; it will be better than it tastes at first… TRUST me! If you
think there is too little dressing, you can always make another batch and pour
it over. If you don’t, and the dressing doesn’t cover the beans, mix the salad
up every day so the beans soak in the flavor.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Then… enjoy! A
welcome addition to a barbecue, and you can make it ahead. In fact, it will
stay good in your fridge for at least three weeks, a good and good-for-you
accompaniment for cold summer meals.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

predictions have stunned the gullible and the skeptical alike. Certain there's

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">To
celebrate my literary agency, BookEnds’s, 20<sup>th</sup> anniversary this
year, I thought I’d relate the story of how I came to be a client of the
founder, the incomparable and awe-inspiring Jessica Faust.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I worked on
getting published for years; I briefly had an agent who did absolutely nothing
and quit after trying to sell one book to one publisher and failing. But
eventually I made it, and became a published author of Regency romances. From
1999 to 2005 I wrote Regencies for Zebra, an imprint of Kensington. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Using that
as a springboard, I found a great agent at a good agency. When the Zebra imprint
closed I already had a wonderful deal to write paranormal historical romances
for Berkley; Awaiting the Moon, a werewolf historical romance, came out in
2006, followed by two more books in the contract… but my series was not renewed
after that. It just didn’t find an audience. I was thrilled to get a contract
with Sourcebooks Casablanca to write a historical mystery series, beginning
with Lady Anne and the Howl in the Dark. However… there was a fundamental
misunderstanding between the publisher and I; I considered it a historical
mystery series, but they marketed it as a historical romance series. That
didn’t end well, and they declined to publish the 2<sup>nd</sup> and 3<sup>rd</sup>
book of the series.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It was 2009,
and, as you can see, I had been through a few rough patches in the publishing
industry. I liked my agent very much. We worked together well, and I had gone
with him when he left the agency he worked for. However… he was going in another
direction, pursuing his love of agenting cookbook authors and chef biographies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I knew what
I wanted… I wanted (and had always intended) to write mysteries. So I talked to
him (honesty and being upfront is always the best policy) and I think with a
sense of relief we both came to the conclusion that I should start hunting for
a new agent. I thought with my background it should be easy. So I came up with
a mystery series idea (which I still love, and hope to work on someday) and
fleshed it out to a proposal, and started agent-hunting. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Even with a
decent list of published credits, trying to find an agent can be a disheartening
process. I was careful and selective, only approaching agents who represented
the kind of book I wanted to write. Of course, there was one agent who I
wanted, and really ONLY her, but I wasn’t dumb enough to think I should only
approach her. The one agent above all others was, of course, Jessica Faust, of
BookEnds Literary.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">After a
reasonable time with my proposal, she wrote back that though she liked my
voice, and was intrigued by the mystery, it just wasn’t quite right. Encouraged
by her kind words, I wrote back, asking for advice, and asking if I came up
with something else, would she consider looking at it?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">First, she
told me she was going on mat leave for <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">SIX
MONTHS</b>… I was bummed. Six months? That’s a lifetime when you’re a
struggling author with no money coming in. However, she also gave me some sage
advice; she told me that if I wanted to write cozy mysteries (that’s what I’d
told her I was writing, though I now see what I had presented to her wasn’t
really a cozy at all) that I should get the first book of several series and
read them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">So I did.
Then I wrote (and rewrote, and re-re-wrote) the first chapters and a synopsis
for the Vintage Kitchen Mysteries, taking my love of vintage recipes and
collecting vintage kitchenalia, creating Queensville MI, and giving it a
backstory (locations in cozy mysteries, Jessica told me, are like another character…
a good location could sell a series) and I waited until a few days after she
was back to taking submissions; I figured I’d be among hundreds, if I submitted
the first day she was back. I submitted my fresh proposal and then I waited.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The email
came back pretty fast; she had some suggestions, but she <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">loved</b> it, and she took me on as a client in January, 2010. It was
the best day of my writing career, bar abso-freaking-lutely none. From there,
once we signed, she presented it to Berkley and they bought the series, and the
rest is history. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I’m a lucky
LUCKY writer, and I know it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Thank you
Jessica, and all of BookEnds, and congratulations on #bookends20!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
