Mouthwatering Monday Recipe

Hope you are all having a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend. In honor of this remembrance of our troops, here's a recipe from ALIEN HEAT, my science fiction futuristic romance featuring military man Major Lucas Jefferson and his friends Captain Russell Hawke, and Lieutenant Will Flagg. 

Here's a blurb from ALIEN HEAT, now available at Wings e-Press, Amazon, and other Internet outlets.

AN ALIEN INVASION: A cataclysmic bombardment by meteorites drastically alter Earth's atmosphere... and bring strange alien plants that have a mind of their own. Because of “mutant” powers, only Glyneth recognizes the threat these Venusian flowers pose not just to humans, but to Earth itself.

AN HONORABLE DILEMMA: Major Lucas Jefferson reluctantly abducts Glyneth as a breeder for his country. But "Lady Bulldog" teaches him that might is not always right. Can he learn from this villager to fulfill the ancient prophecy of uniting the old ways with the new?


LACE BROWNIES


In my best-selling futuristic science fiction romance with Wings ePress, ALIEN HEAT--impetuous Will Flagg loves the taste of lace brownies. You will too after you try these delicious cookies!

New Review for THE YULETIDE YORKSHIRE!

Minx Tobin does it again. :)) Here's the link for her lastest terrific review: http://lasrmystery.blogspot.com/2012/05/yuletide-yorkshire-by-susanne-marie.html


Review blurb: "The author writes a good drama/trauma story with almost everyone being a bit guilty for some reason. She also gets you into the romance between Minx and Gabe and you find yourself hoping neither one of them will be bullheaded enough to ruin their budding romance. Ms. Knight kept my attention and kept me reading to see just how she would end the story. I was not disappointed. If you like a good cozy mystery, get a cup of tea and find a comfortable chair. This one will fill the bill for you. Why not see if you can identify the murderer before Minx? I think you’ll be surprised by the way it turns out." Aloe, LAS Mystery Reviews.
 
Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Debut of Mouthwatering Monday Recipes


Good morning and welcome to the debut of my Mouthwatering Monday collection of Romance Writing with a Twist recipes. Each Monday (fingers crossed!) I'll post a recipe specifically created for one of my books.

Today, I'll start with COCONUT CONCOCTION CAKE -- a delicious dessert (and family favorite!) based upon my paranormal romantic suspense THE COMING, a Dream Realm Award WINNER.

But first, here's a blurb of the novel, now available at Awe-Struck Publishing, Amazon, and other Internet outlets:

IMPOSSIBLE LOVE: After scattering her beloved grandfather’s ashes in the Caribbean, Larissa Parish is swept overboard and washes up on a deserted island. She comes face to face with a man who, most impossibly, is her grandfather’s cohort from World War II. Can she learn to fully give herself to this mouthwatering 40s hunk… and also figure a way to leave this outpost in the Bermuda Triangle?

DIFFERENT GENERATIONS: Army Air Force pilot, Jack Harrington, can’t believe his good luck when he spots Larissa in the waters by his desert island. Stranded for what he believes is five years, he thinks her daft because she seems to have forgotten World War II. Can he come to terms with the news that he’s a “1940s retread” and convince himself that Larissa could love him, no matter how “old” he is?




COCONUT CONCOCTION CAKE

In my paranormal romantic suspense at Awe-Struck Publishing--2004 Dream Realm WINNER, THE COMING--coconuts are plentiful on the desert island. Larissa uses coconut shreds, tern eggs, goat milk, and ground nuts to create a mouthwatering concoction for Jack and his men. Here’s a scrumptious recipe that will make your mouth water too!

1 1/4 c. flour, sifted
1 1/2 c. sugar
3 t. baking powder
1 t. salt
1/2 c. butter, slightly melted
1 c. milk
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla extract
1c. flaked coconut

* Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
* In large bowl, sift flour with sugar, baking powder, and salt.
* Add butter and milk.
* Mix at low speed for 2 minutes.
* Add eggs and vanilla.
* Mix at low speed for 2 minutes.
* Stir in coconut, then pour batter into two greased 8-inch pans.

* Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden brown.

Enjoy!
