As a NY Times & International best-selling author of twelve novels (with two more hitting stores this summer), I know what is necessary to get a book published. Two spots remain in my WRITING COACH PROGRAM. This is for storytellers who have always dreamed of being published (not self-published -- the real deal). In the last eight years, I've selected only 17 clients into the program. So far, FIVE have already been published and more are getting ready to submit their work to publishers. Cost of the program is $3,950, (REG. $4750). Seventeen years ago I paid $6,000 for a similar service and ended up with my first published title -- MEG). The fee commits me to working with you from start to finish, plus assisting in getting the final manuscript to an agent/publisher.

A simple sauce of piquant green peppercorns, lemon juice and butter top this seared salmon recipe. Green peppercorns come from the same plant as black ones, but are harvested before they mature. Typically packed in vinegar, they have a refreshingly sharp flavor. Look for them near the capers in most supermarkets. Serve with smashed red potatoes and saut�ed kale.
