About

Steven W. Siler is a firefighter-cum-chef serving in Bellingham, Washington.  Long marinated in the epicurean heritage of the Deep South, Steven has spent over 20 years in the much-vaulted (?) restaurant industry from BOH to FOH to chef.  In addition, he has served as an editor and contributing writer for several food publications.  When not trying to shove food down his fellow firefighters’ gullets, he enjoys sailing and sampling the finest of scotches and wines, and has an irrational love affair with opera.

Description

<p>FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES<br /><br />At barely nineteen, Angelica Donovan became one of the more successful winners of the T.V. show Our Next Super Model. The world assumed she was destined for a happy, fairy tale life as ‘Angel,’ the beautiful girl who was living the dream; sadly, that wasn’t to be the case. As the years passed, she flashed her million dollar smile to all her fans and fought to stay on top in a profession where you never knew who it was safe to trust while the fashion industry took big bites out of her heart and soul. And trust was a constant challenge for Angel due to the painful childhood secret she guarded as carefully as she did her heart. As a result, she never did find her true love on earth.<br /><br />When she wakes up ‘dead’ from a heart condition a month before her thirty-fifth birthday, Angel is at first relieved to find there is no death, just a change of state, like ice to water, and then she’s scared because her biggest and most important adventure is about to begin.<br /><br />Angelica is chosen to be an angel in training as a spirit guide for three souls on earth! Her assignment is to help two women to gain the courage and confidence to find, recognize and embrace the love that had eluded Angel in life. But her biggest challenge will be to save a very special little girl from the same evil experience that had poisoned Angel’s own earthly happiness and altered the course of her life.<br /><br />Will Angel be able to heal her own shattered soul in the process? And will the three souls she is guiding be able to recognize her, not as a ghostly threat, but as one of those ‘friends in high places’ we all have; the kind who often end up earning their wings.<br /><br /> </p>

Story Behind The Book

Reviews

<span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:normal;font-size:small;">I had bought my wife &quot;Signature Tastes of Bellingham&quot; last year for Christmas. Not only did she love it, but so does her family from out of town. When they visit, they look through the book and pick the places they want to eat out at. We had been anticipating the second book in the series &quot;Signature Tastes of Boise&quot;, and I'm pleased to say that it lives up to the original in every way. The introduction to the cities culinary history is very fascinating and informative, and the recipes and restaurants featured are one again top-notch. The author must be quite passionate and motivated to be able to compile such a comprehensive and complete list of local eateries. I can't wait for more cities to be released in this series.-Glass House, Amazon.com</span>
