WELCOME TO THE WAID BOOKS NEWSLETTER BLOG!
COMING THIS MONTH FROM WAID BOOKS!!!
This is the tentative cover for the first recipe book to be published by Waid Books! The owner of P-Love's Smokin' Rub has given us permission to "leak" this cover in anticipation of it's release in time for grilling season!
Kevin "Pete" Groom has been smoking various types of meat for his family and friends for the last 5 years. He formulated his own seasoning rub and has decided to mass market it to the world. If you'd like to buy a jar of the rub the company website is: www.smokeandbbq.com
Kevin (affectionately known to all as "Pete") took a hobby and turned it into a business. He is successful because he believes in his product and has allowed the world to feel his passion for his seasoning and dishes that he lovingly prepares.

Why not step out on your creative journey like Pete did and make your business dream come true? All it takes is a "try". Waid Books will be more than willing to publish your work!

PART 2 OF THE WAID BOOKS INTERVIEW WITH
AUTHOR R.H. RAMSEY
Ramsey's 2nd Book: Into the Atmosphere
(For questions 1 and 2 of this interview please click here: http://waidbooks.blogspot.com/2013/04/waid-books-newsletterblog-april-2013-2.html)
3. If one of your characters could 'come to
life" which one would you treat to dinner and why?
I have a character in Just Beneath the Surface
named Diamond. She's a teenager, and in the story, she is operating out of
hurt, and it is only causing her to spiral. I think that I would enjoy taking
Diamond to dinner, not because I want to judge her or tell her things she
probably already knows, but because what she needed more than anything else,
was someone to talk to. She needed someone to tell her when she wasn't making
sense. She needed to not feel invisible.
4. If it was possible, what advice would you share with your teen self?
- Rhonda, you stay up way too late, but now I see why - you're a writer.
- You're not overweight.
- Tell your parents you love them.
- You're going to wish you looked like that in ten years - didn't I just say cut it out?
- Just say what you're thinking. It's valid and you're making a bad habit of internalizing - just say it.
- Rhonda...I'm proud of you.
5. As a published author, what advice would you give to someone that
is afraid to write/share their gift?
If you are afraid, you are probably afraid of
rejection, failing, or you have written something that is very
personal. Please understand: Your story deserves to be
told. Remove "self" and never operate out of fear.
Take your work to people who will be honest with you. Remember to accept the constructive criticism and do away with anything mean-spirited.
Get your work edited, hear what the editor has to say, and move forward toward your goals!!
Remember to enjoy the journey, and don't lose touch with your passion and purpose. Share your gift, your passion and embrace your purpose!!
Waid Books would like to thank Ms. Ramsey for her time and thoughtful answers to our questions. We wish her MUCH continued success.

THE WAID BOOKS RECIPE OF THE WEEK!
In honor of our first recipe book being released this month we would like to give you a "sneak peek" of the types of recipes that will be featured using P-Love's Smokin' Rub!
This sample recipe came from the P-Love's Smokin' Rub Group on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/groups/285190544932529/?bookmark_t=group). Feel free to join the discussion and like his community page as well: www.facebook.com/PLovesSmokinRub.
P-Love's Suggestion:
Apply a generous amount of plain mustard to the beef. Apply 1/4 cup of the rub and massage into the meat.
Place beef in the oven on low (350 degrees). Make sure you have plenty of water in the pan as you don't want the meat to dry out while it's cooking.
Temp out at 190 and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing!
Here is a picture of the finished product!
Many thanks to Kevin "Pete" Groom for allowing Waid Books to be a part of his dream. We look forward to working on more recipe books with him in the future!

Final Thought
With so many life-altering events happening every day in our ever-changing world, it is important to celebrate the small things in life.
A good book can often "take the edge off" and for just a moment allow you to enjoy a different time and place. So treasure the great stories as you have time and leave the rest of the "madness" behind.
Always stay focused on your dreams, goals and desires and the world will have no choice but to bend to your will.
We wish you PEACE, JOY and GOOD READING!
