Conversations at the Dinner Table - Historical accounts of Tipton County by Tipton Countians
Dinner Date with a Ghost - I was reading my favorite magazine, Southern Living, recently, and the writers mentioned how the South loves its cookbooks! So many have been published throughout the years. I had been having trouble getting enough stories for just a ghost story book, so I got to thinking. What if I combined the ghost story book with the recipe book I’ve always wanted to write? Bingo! I asked for titles for the book on Facebook and got 59 replies! I have such talented Facebook friends! So get ready for some ghost stories - some funny, some scary, and some just weird, and pick out a recipe for your next party, dinner or just snack!
