I have been hooked on fantasy and science fiction since preschool when I watched Star Trek the Original Series with my family on TV. Then came Star Wars at the theater when I was 5, and a few years later, I discovered the joys of reading fantasy with the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings.The elements I like most about the genres are the high stakes (save the world, overthrow the empire, etc.), the diversity of characters, and how magic or extraordinary technology allows plots to expand in interesting ways. The ability of fantasy and sci fi to include analysis and criticisms of social conditions like religion and politics is especially fascinating as well. When this is done in conventional fiction, people and readers descend into arguments about whether an opinion is valid or the historical information is accurate instead of assessing the concepts themselves.Of course, fantasy and sci fi can just be fun as well. I love a good hero or heroine and villains can be the best of all. And there is something therapeutic about picking up a sword or blaster and solving the problems of the world.My taste in genre has inevitably married itself to my love of writing. For some reason I am a person capable of writing novels. The act of creating thousands of pages of fiction does not overwhelm me. Making it a good work of fiction is the hard part that requires countless hours of editing and rewriting and lots of daydreaming too.When I'm not writing, my other passions include cooking, growing food, reducing my plastic waste, raising rabbits, spinning wool, and reading.

A note from the author
For many years I wanted to learn how to can food. I had a coworker who would bring in jars of the most perfect peaches, and I envied her ability to can them. She told me it was easy. Finally the day came when I decided to get past my fears about creating jars of food poisoning. I studied articles about home canning. I read books about home canning, and then finally I took on a project and did it. Then I did it again and again because it was so satisfying to fill the pantry with jars of food that I preserved myself.
After two seasons of canning various fruits, jams, and relishes, I was feeling pretty experienced. In August 2008 I was invited to give a demonstration about home canning at the Grange in Chico, California. About 25 people showed up and were very interested in the topic. I was amazed that people showed up to watch me boil water, but it was a good experience. The original materials from that presentation contributed to the core of this guide.
I have direct experience with the procedures and techniques I explain in this guide. I have preserved the foods and eaten them, and even fed them to my children. No one has ever gotten sick. The food has never been anything except delicious. Home canning is simply a matter of following the right directions and putting in some hard work.
Please note that there is some repetition of information within the individual recipes. I wrote it this way so that crucial information would be part of every recipe, so you can consult it while working directly within a recipe. To use this short guide, study it so you can absorb the
