I haven't done much to promote my books lately. Mostly because I assume
that regular blog readers who wanted them already have them. But with
gift giving season upon us, I thought I'd give them a shout out, because books
are always great gifts.
My first book has been my most popular.
This is the book most people think of when "5 Acres & A Dream" is
mentioned. It's been popular with people wanting to get started in
homesteading, and even people who would never dreamed of homesteading have
enjoyed it. That makes it a good choice for anyone interested in unusual
lifestyles.
What many people don't know, is that there is a sequel.
It's the story of how reality changes dreams. Which is another way to say that
we learned so much from our experiences, that things changed. Not only the way
we do things, but the way we understand things: nature, seasons, goals,
critters, priorities.
If you or someone you know enjoyed my first book, consider gifting them with
this one.
The next one is for folks who want to understand what goes into buying and
owning livestock.
It's different in style from the first two, because it's my one professionally
published book. That meant I was writing what the publisher had in mind, and
that was an interesting experience for an Indie author and publisher. I did a
lot of research for it, and you know what? I still pull it out from time to
time to look something up, because I intended it to be not just an
introduction, but a resource. It remains a valuable addition to my homestead
library.
And here's one for the cooks and bakers on your list.
Oddly, I've had people think that this is a book about how to make baking powder, which is something one can find for free on the internet. WRONG! This is a book about kitchen chemistry and how to use everyday kitchen items to make light and tasty baked goods. It's a recipe book too, and so has a place on my cookbook shelf in the kitchen.
So if you're looking for something a little different for someone on your gift list, consider one of these. The prices are still very reasonable, which makes them a good option for everybody on your list.

Having purchased Five Acres and A Dream: The Sequel as well as some of the smaller books Leigh has written, I can attest to their informational content and their value.
Thank you TB! I appreciate your recommendation. :)
