Jan Hinds, author of Breads: Not So Secret Family Recipes Book 8

Breads: Not So Secret Family Recipes Book 8 is a compilation of family recipes collected from five generations. The series is my effort to preserve and share these recipes so they don’t become lost.

I have also included a bread baking tutorial in the front of the book to help novice bakers to overcome. The cookbooks in this series are also peppered with tidbits from the lives of the cooks who loved these recipes enough to save them.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write “Breads (Not So Secret Family Recipes Book 8)”?

Jan Hinds: I have collected recipes for many years and often had to sift through several recipe boxes or files to find the ones I wanted to prepare. Having them as an ebook makes it so much easier to find what I want. Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Jan Hinds, author of Breads: Not So Secret Family Recipes Book 8

Jason and his little brother Darius were born into the dope game. After being left to fend for themselves on the streets, they met George, a high level heroin supplier.

They quickly blow up. Things get to crazy for Jason, so he quits his day job as a dope dealer to become DJ. As DJ Jay-Roc, he lands a dream job at the biggest hip hop radio station in America. It came with a price…

Darius goes on to become D-Boy – one of the biggest dope dealers on the East Coast. When he finds out who George really is, he realizes there is only one way out of this game.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write American D-Boy?

Alah Adams: I got the inspiration to write American D-Boy from the real Rick Ross story and Hip Hop in general. I dedicated it to the late great Jam Master Jay, one of my favorite DJs. The characters were based on people that I know,  so they influenced the development of those characters. I also got inspiration from the corrupt government of the United Snakes Of America.

Meet Lauren Wilcox, the original “Queen of The Lou.” She’s blessed with great beauty, phenomenal writing abilities, sex skills out of this world, and that platinum “good-good.” This is also her curse.

JoeyPinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write The Show Me State?

Sherrod Tunstall: I got the inspiration to write The Show Me State after writing my debut novel, Spicy. I loved the bar scene I did with Lauren and Gino in Spicy.
