When I came across a Cotopaxi post about adventure literature and how the reader carries the lessons learned in the book with them, I was inspired. Then- I immediately figured out the book I wanted to write about.

{Guest Post}: Angela Correll tells about a day in her life!
Today, Angela Correll is visiting Traveling With T to talk about A Day In The Life Of An Author. Angela is not only an author- she’s also the creator of Kentucky Soaps and Such. Not only is Angela letting us have a teeny peek in her life- she’s also providing 1 lucky Traveling With T reader a gift basket of Plainview Farms soaps and lotions (Angela was sweet enough to provide me with some samples- and let me just say it- LOVE them!)
I’ll let Angela chit-chat with you all- and after you read her guest post- check out the giveaway!
Guest Post by Angela Correll:
My first confession is that I don’t write every day. I’ve been told I should, and I hope to get there at some point, but right now I separate my writing times from the other seasons in my life dedicated to other goals. Continue reading

Food Whore
Summary from Goodreads:
Food whore (n.) A person who will do anything for food.
Fresh out of college, Tia Monroe has every intention of taking the New York City restaurant scene by storm. But after a coveted internship goes up in smoke, Tia’s suddenly just another food lover in the big city.
Yet everything changes when Michael Saltz, a legendary New York Times restaurant critic, lets Tia in on a career-ending secret: he’s lost his sense of taste. Now he wants Tia to serve as his palate, ghostwriting his reviews. In return he promises her lavish meals, a boundless cache of designer clothing, and the opportunity of a lifetime. With nothing to lose and everything to gain, Tia agrees.
Within weeks, Tia’s world transforms into one of glamour and luxury: four-star dinners, sexy celebrity chefs, and an unlimited expense account at Bergdorf Goodman. Tia loves every minute of it…until she sees her words in print and Michael Saltz taking all the credit. As the veneer of extravagance wears thin and her secret identity begins to crumble, Tia is faced with what it means to truly succeed. In a city where “making it” is the ultimate goal, Tia will have to decide: how far is she willing to go for the life she craves?
Traveling With T’s Thoughts:
Confession: I’m not a real “foodie”. I like food. I can talk about flavors and I can usually pick interesting tastes/spices out. I love a simple home cooked meal and I enjoy dancing on the wilder (for me) side of sushi. Continue reading
