More About the Author
Since 1985, veteran publisher Linda F. Radke, owner of Five Star Publications, has been ahead of her game -- self-publishing before it was commonplace, partnership publishing before the rest of the world even knew what it was, and producing award-winning traditionally and nontraditionally published fiction and nonfiction manuscripts for adults and children.
Among her many accolades, Radke is author of The Economical Guide to Self-Publishing (a 2010 Paris Book Festival first-place winner in the "How-To" category and a Writer's Digest Book Club selection, now into its second edition) and Promote Like a Pro: Small Budget, Big Show (a Doubleday Executive Program Book Club selection). She is also a founding member of the Arizona Book Publishing Association, was named "Book Marketer of the Year" by Book Publicists of Southern California, and received numerous public relations and marketing awards from Arizona Press Women.
In addition to the honors Radke garnered for her own publications, she is responsible for producing premium quality books for clients and authors. Just since 2005, more than 35 received recognition for excellence on local, national and international levels, with a plethora of others receiving the same prior to 2005. Using her award-winning marketing and public relations skills, she also promotes her authors' books and those of others, increasing their visibility and recognition exponentially.
History:
Five Star Publications' journey to becoming one of the nation's leading consulting firms in the areas of book production, marketing, publicity, and distribution began simply enough with Radke's desire to print a few books to complement the household employment agency she owned. For Radke, who on more than one occasion has been teased about having "printer's ink in her veins," the experience of publishing the books was exhilarating, prompting her to change careers and launch Five Star Publications without looking back. Eventually, Radke added services and acted as a publishing eDistributor for other self-publishers, ventured into traditional publishing, and pioneered partnership publishing to allow her to publish more authors and make them a more integral part of the creative process of publishing.
In 2010, Five Star Scripts was launched. The spin-off company is comprised of a team of film/television producers and screenwriters who use their insiders' expertise to morph books into screenplays and pilots, and then market them to television, film, and stage producers, directors, and studios across the globe. On the flipside, Five Star Scripts also transitions scripts and screenplays into books, including writing and editing, graphic design, layout, packaging, and promotion.
The electronic book market was entered in the summer of 2010 with the birth of eStarPublish.com, which transforms a PDF, InDesign, Word or other type file into electronic files that are compatible with Amazon's Kindle, Sony, Kobo and Apple's iPod, iPad, and iPhone, and downloadable through Amazon.com, iTunes' iBookstore and others. Select books are also offered on eBookery.com, the eStarPublish's eBookstore.

For God's Sake, Don't Buy This Cookbook!,
By Robert Kleinman (New York, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: That Hungarian's in My Kitchen: 125 Hungarian, American and Kosher Recipes (Paperback)
When I first thumbed through this cookbook, my immediate thought was that some dreadful mistake had been made, and that I'd been sent the wrong cookbook. After all, the recipes (largely unfamiliar to Hungarians, but that's another story) were generally followed by only one paragraph of text. In fact, what I've written up to this point was about all the information the author provided the reader in making each dish.Well... ghastly, awful, a joke... all three of these terms would fairly and accurately descibe this so-called cookbook. But then it dawned on me, surely this is one of those vanity press jobs. And taken in that light, I think Amazon really ought to point out that fact to would-be buyers ahead of time. So please don't get fooled like I was. Repacking it and returning it to Amazon was certainly no pleasure.

The Joy of Hungarian Kosher Cooking,
By alan schreck (bronx, ny United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: That Hungarian's in My Kitchen: 125 Hungarian, American and Kosher Recipes (Paperback)
I grew up with Hungarian kosher cooking. My family comes from Kisvarda and Szeredne and Tokaj, and it's an insult to us, and to the martyrs from those places, to say that their cooking was a joke. There's nothing like the smell of a hot goulash cooking on a cold winter day to warm a person, and to lift his/her spirits. I enjoy and continue to enjoy Linda Radke's recipes. I just wish she had included more, such as fluden and g'ribener peas.

A few comments from That Hungarian...,

This review is from: That Hungarian's in My Kitchen: 125 Hungarian, American and Kosher Recipes (Paperback)
These recipes are enjoyed by a family with Hungarian roots who happen to be Jewish and enjoy kosher cooking. The book promises to give you some Hungarian, American, and kosher recipes and that it does. Signed ... That Hungarian - Linda F. Radke, [...].
