Nov. 18, 2024: Meet “The Pie Spy,” and discover Grandma’s secret recipe
Monday Morning Magic from Inkandescent® PR + Publishing Co. — With emotions running high this month, I am looking for anything — everything — to bring joy and sunshine into our minds, hearts, and, honestly, the whole world. So it is with great pleasure that I introduce you this week to human resources expert Amanda Haddaway’s first foray into writing children’s literature with The Pie Spy: Grandma’s Secret Recipe.
Here’s the story: In this heartwarming tale, a young girl named Kate discovers that her grandma is a spy who uses her baking skills to hide secret messages. Through baking pies together, Kate learns about her grandma’s exciting past and the importance of bravery, creativity, and love for family.
This story is too delicious not to have a sequel, so this year, be on the lookout for the next book in this series.
Of course, this isn’t Amanda’s first literary adventure by a woman who is on a mission to make people’s lives better. Scroll down to find information about her two business self-help books, and also learn about the company she has built with her experience as an award-winning HR consultant, corporate trainer, and certified executive coach: HRanswerbox.com. Last year, Amanda bought trainersconsultantsreferralnetwork.com, another powerful HR organization created by our dear friend Sharon Armstrong, author of The Essential HR Handbook.
