Look at this beautiful cover for Samantha Picaro's latest book, Recipe for Confidence.
To get to know Samantha and her book better, I asked a few questions. Here are her answers.
Who was your favorite character to write?
My favorite character to write was Lana, Bryn's aunt and owner of the fictional bakery. Lana encourages Bryn to be herself and share her dreams with everyone, especially her parents. Lana has insecurities and has made mistakes but she undeniably loves her niece and Lana doesn't let anyone tell her what to do or how to feel.
Do you yourself bake, like your main character? If so, what's your favorite thing to bake?
I love to bake, although I admit I like tasting more than baking. I like making Bundt cakes with my mom as well as ricotta cookies.
What do you find most difficult about the writing process?
The most difficult part of the writing process is adding in new elements of the story (i.e. new character or plot point) as I'm writing the book. Even if it makes the story or characters better, it's still a little frustrating to squeeze it into the plot without making everything unorganized or creating plot holes.
If you'd like to read it, the pre-order price is currently only $1.99 for the e-book! Click here.
