Diversity & Dutch Oven Cooking...



I think it’s so neat how much diversity is right here in our own little blogosphere. Surprisingly, it’s something that I haven’t thought much about. For the most part, we’re a community that really does genuinely care about the success of others, which unifies us even though we’re all so different. Right off the top of my head, I started listing names and genres that show how different we all are:


Carrie-Anne and her 20th century historical fiction sagas…  

Michael Offut and his high-concept speculative fiction…  

If it weren’t for Mark Koopmans, I don’t think I’d ever have read a memoir… 

Michael Di Gesu and his elegant noir writing and magical MG… 

Sabrina Fish’s epic fantasy… 

The elusive Kevin Hiatt—who knows what he writes… 

Tiana Smith and her light, but magical writing that takes me back to my childhood… 

And of course there’s Alex and his epic Space Operas… 

And the list goes on.

But to diversify it up a bit more, I wanted to give a special highlight to a book that was recently published, and is in a genre outside of all the ones above. My dear aunt, Michele Pika Nielson, just had a book come out! Take a look:


It’s a step-by-step book about Dutch Oven Cooking. Fun, huh? I’m SO proud of her. She’s absolutely brilliant and is one of those people who know so much about everything.  I can’t wait to see what’s next for her. But for now, you can get her book at:
