Yoga for Writers #6
* HEALTH FOR WRITERS series
By JEANAN GLAZIER
Where do you want to be? Your legs get you there. Standing, sitting, strolling, walking, or running, the muscles in your legs propel you. If you think about how much work your legs do every day, then it isn’t surprising they are sometimes tired, and all you want to do is sit down and put your feet up. Nor is it surprising for your legs to feel tired or stiff when you’ve been sitting for long periods of time. However, you can do something about the fatigue and stiffness.
Who likes chocolate?
BY KELLY JAMIESON
In my January release With Strings Attached, my heroine Corey is a chocolatier. She makes fine, hand-crafted chocolates. She actually makes the chocolate herself, from raw cacao beans which she imports from a plantation in Brazil. She roasts them, then grinds them to remove the husks. Then she grinds the winnowed beans again to liquefy the cocoa butter and adds other ingredients— sugar and milk powder, sometimes vanilla. The mixture next goes into a conch machine, where rollers continuously knead the batch of chocolate liquor and ingredients for several hours. It’s a labor intensive process, but she produces amazing chocolates, which she charges a premium price for. :)

Please tell us a little bit about Escape Publishing and what influenced the decision for Harlequin to create this imprint. Is this imprint primarily focused on the Australian market or will it be available internationally?

“Criss-cross, applesauce.” Are any of you familiar with this elementary school instruction? For those of you who aren’t, it means, “Sit down Indian-style.”
Sitting in this manner is easy for most kids and young people. However, as we age, sitting criss-cross, applesauce can become more difficult. The reason is because our hips tend to lose flexibility, but there is good news.
Authors Give Back
BY STACEY JOY NETZEL
No, I’m not talking the traditional gift giving, but the gifts to charity giving. My friend Rhonda Hopkins has a series called Authors Give Back, where she gives authors a day on her blog to spotlight their favorite charity. Here’s what she had to say:
“I’m very proud of the Authors Give Back series. It’s been even more well received than I had hoped. Authors are some of the most generous people. I know this from all of those that have given me a hand and walked me through all the obstacles of writing and publishing – those that are still helping me, like the wonderful members of the WG2E Street Team. I knew that my fellow writers’ generosity expanded beyond just helping other authors and I haven’t been disappointed. They give of their time and resources to help out others and I enjoy helping them highlight their favorite charitable organizations.”
