I’ve just put the finishing touches on the introduction for my newest non-fiction book. I usually avoid writing introductions for as long as possible. In fact, they’re often the last thing I write. (Because how the heck am I supposed to introduce a book before I know what the book is going to say?) But this one came together like a perfect cupcake recipe.

Now let’s hope the batter for the rest of the book is just as good…

With my writing goals accomplished, I’m off to buy a Father’s Day gift. Which, like the topic of the non-fiction book, shall remain secret for a little while longer.

After that, it’s real cupcake baking. My son’s class is holding a bake sale tomorrow to raise money for victims of the earthquake in Nepal. And I think chocolate cupcakes might be just the thing to solve all the problems in the world. Don’t you?
