I'm proud to say I've written a variety of stories in Chicken Soup for the Soul books and other anthologies. What I enjoy even more is writing stories in which food plays a part. I love to eat and so it's a great pleasure to be the author of a mystery series about a private detective who's afraid of nearly everything. So what's the food angle? My main character has an aunt who owns a bakery. And before I forget to mention it, I live in Dallas, Texas, and am a member of Sisters in Crime.
