Hidden In Paris Part 32

She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. "Wow. Now you're talking!" She was silent for a few breaths. "I wonder what they will be like," she muttered in his ear.

"Who, what?"

"My future tenants."

Lucas looked at her in horror. "Ah, non!"

A note by the author.

Thank you for reading my novel. I hope you enjoyed your time in Paris with Annie, Lola, Althea and the gang. I'm thrilled you have found my book and that my book has found you!

I wanted to tell you a few words about my process in bringing this story to you. A book published through the traditional route is scrutinized by a vast array of professionals: agents, publishers, editors, proofreaders, designers, so that by the time the book comes before the eyes of the reader it is pretty much flawless. Flawless is what you're accustomed to and flawless is what you deserve.

But things are different when you go the Indie route. I polished this ma.n.u.script to the very best of my abilities, but where was my crew of pros when I needed one? In fact, as I type those words I'm still reeling from the discovery of a few hair-raising typos, just when I felt confident they had been eradicated. Yikes! In other words, you still deserve flawlessness but I can't seem to give it to you...

Please help me make this a better novel by sending me an email at [email protected] so that future versions of the book can be improved and future readers won't have to put up with what you just put up with. I will credit you on my website if you'll allow me.

If you loved the book, please by all means spread the word. And if you want to write a nice review on Amazon or elsewhere you will have my undying grat.i.tude.

Thank you so very much beloved reader. You are the BEST!.

Reviews for the Hidden in Paris cookbook:

"Aside from the mouth-watering recipes, Ms. Gantz has quite a lively sense of humor and her little stories are fun to read. The pictures are beautiful - I suggest you try to get this into a color ebook reader, but even in black and white I enjoyed the photos of Paris and the food. I ordered her novel based on this cookbook and look forward to reading that."

Lone wolf, Amazon reviewer

"Corine Gantz has done it again! She's transported me back to that delightful Paris house where there is always something yummy cooking on the stovetop or a delicious scent wafting from the open window onto the patio. I love that the book concentrates on fairly easy French comfort food. I also love the pretty pictures and the wit and wisdom of this author s.h.i.+ne through the recipes."

Feng Sui by Fish Girl, Amazon reviewer.

"I don't know when I've enjoyed a cookbook more. Corinne has a delightful, entertaining, droll way of telling the stories around the food as well as the recipes themselves! I was reading the cookbook part of the time while standing on the street waiting for a bus, literally laughing out loud and baffling the people around me. Then I read more while being driven somewhere, and found myself reading it aloud to the driver, laughing. Then pulling it out to show to our hostess at dinner, who kept chuckling under her breath as she read the Chocolate Mousse recipe..."

P.F Anderson, Amazon reviewer.
