Anywho, at the release of her novel she shared a not-so-secret recipe for baking a book. It was a brilliant idea, especially since her novel is all about baking goodies! I wanted to share the brilliance behind it. It's an adorable way to market your book.
A not-so-secret recipe by Christina Mandelski
1. A pinch of an idea
2. Sweet & spicy characters
3. A haunted character
4. A dad who doesn't notice his daughter
5. A love triangle
6. A grandma, a priest, and a baker
7. A cup of setting
8. One large problem
9. A hearty helping of heart (romance, humor, anger, love)
10. Add in a generous helping of critique group, family, and friends
11. A great taste tester (an agent)
12. Finding the perfect bakery (publishing house)
Isn't this the cutest? So I'm curious... do you have your own recipe?

That is WAY cute! I don't have a recipe--at least not yet--I'll have to put one together for my book. Maybe when I do I'll come back and post a link! Thanks for sharing. It's such a cute marketing idea! :D
Now that sounds exactly like the perfect recipe for one of my books! Too cute, and I love the looks of Christina's book! Checking it out~
