An Overwhelming THANK YOU!

As most of you know, yesterday was the Book Bomb day for The Prepared Family Cookbook.  It was an overwhelming, nerve-racking, faith-building experience.  So much time and energy has been poured into that book, along with our family stories and years of hard-won experience.  Thank you - from the bottom of my heart, for your generous reception to my cookbook.  In the end, it did wonderfully for an "indie" book - ranking 145 for all of the books being sold on Amazon, 11th in the Cookbook, Food & Wine section and 3rd in the Cookbook, Food & Wine "Hot New Releases" section.  Of course the numbers have slowed today - but, whew, what a ride!

For those of you that have enquired, yes, I will be selling some of these books from home.  I haven't ordered them yet, so I won't be able to ship for a couple of weeks.  They will be the same price from me as they are from Amazon ($24.99), however, I would be happy to sign them.  When I am ready to ship I will let you all know.

Again, thank you all.  I hope you find my book worthy of your library.

Yours,

Enola Gay

  2. I could find no definition for the "book bomb" so I created one. It just happens to advertise your book...for free...permanently :-)

    check it out:

  5. Congratulations, I would love to order a cook book from you directly when you get them. I would also love to get your Family Guide to Uncommon Diseases maybe at the same time. Shall I keep looking on your blog (I do every day for posts) or can I leave my e-mail address for notification?

  11. Enola,

    Enola' Im happy for you and your cookbook but if you dont mind I wanted to post this I found on survivalblog this morning. I think it this information needs to get out especially for anyone who is still stocking up on ammo or uses a lot of ammo at the range.

    http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/08/25/Dem-Reps-Sponsor-Bill-For-20-Percent-Tax-On-Handguns

    this bill (if it went through) will levy a 50 percent tax on ammo.

    I knew this would come sooner or later and I guess another run on ammo may be on the way.

  13. Ha! I have THE cookbook in my hot little hands! It arrived on my doorstep within the last half hour. Very nicely done, Enola. I'm looking forward to sitting back with a cup of tea and doing through it more thoroughly.

  14. I received my copy yesterday and have already read it and marked tons of recipes to try. Really a great cookbook and the real perspective and advice on off-grid living was priceless. Very well done.
