[Homemade Happy Hour] has been instrumental in taking my husband’s wannabe bartender wishes to an actual mostly at home mixologist - in the best way possible! He has enjoyed following [the] excellent and creative recipes for so many more cocktails for guests than he ever thought possible for him to make. I have purchased several copies and given as gifts to always rave reviews.

What Goes into Printing a Book?
It was super important to me that my book be printed locally in Michigan. Take a behind the scenes look at the printing of Homemade Happy Hour at Pageworks in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Homemade Happy Hour was Funded by Kickstarter
During July and August of 2021 I ran a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund the first printing of Homemade Happy Hour. It allowed the book to be both designed and printed locally in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Without the 88 backers of my Kickstarter campaign, Homemade Happy Hour would not have been possible. I am forever grateful.
