More About the Author

Feed Me I'm Yours, my first book, began as a local fund raising cookbook in 1974 and turned me into an author. I thought it was the only book I'd ever write and then for a while, I thought that each new book would be my last. Was I wrong!

Along the way I also became a publisher. Feed Me I'm Yours was first published from my husband's and my home on Meadowbrook Lane (i.e., Meadowbrook Press). Our company grew very fast as we learned the publishing business. After our divorce 8 years later, I left Meadowbook Press with no plans of being a publisher again. However, as the books I wrote for others went out of print, I established my own imprint, Book Peddlers, which now publishes over half of my 30 titles...including (naturally) Vicki Lansky's Divorce Book for Parents.

When you write parenting books, everyone glances critically at your children. Thank goodness mine had the good grace to turn out well. Despite my mistakes (and they'll be the first to point them out) my thirty-something twosome have survived and thrived in spite of having had a "professional" mother. Lucky me!

I think my mother would be astonished to know that I give out cleaning and household advice to millions of people as a columnist for Family Circle magazine. After all, she 'not I' had made a career of homemaking. In 1988, when Family Circle asked me to be a contributing editor to their "Help" column, I was delighted. This would be a place for me to share "grown-up" tips. I was now moving beyond the days of needing to know that peanut butter removes gum from children's hair!

Writing about household hints has been more of an education than I ever dreamt. I'm often asked what my favorite tip is. Usually it's the one I've not heard before, which is what keeps my work so interesting. My books on Baking Soda tips and Vinegar tips have sold in the hundreds of thousands copies. Amazing. How lucky I am to be able to share so many helpful ideas...and it is good, clean FUN too.

I'm not sure of my next projects as I've decided to cut back a bit on my book life and work a little more on just my life. But I'm never far from my computer and I know there are idea gremlins scrambling around my brain waiting to escape. Stay tuned.....

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok but I've Seen Better, November 17, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: 101 Ways to Tell Your Sweetheart 'I Love You' (Paperback)

This is a small book (with TONS of white space) of simple ideas you can do to say I Love You. However, I found that the majority of the ideas are so simple that no one should need a book to tell them. For example, everyone knows that bringing home a bouquet of flowers makes someone feel nice.

I dont think this book will inspire you much but it is still worth a look. If you are wanting ideas that are more creative and will have a bigger "wow" factor, I'd highly recommend The RoMANtic's Guide by Michael Webb. After reading his book I can see why the media calls him The World's Most Romantic Man.

This review is from: 101 Ways to Tell Your Sweetheart 'I Love You' (Paperback)

We guys often take a while to snap to the fact that our ladies need frequent small acts of affection to feel loved. Even once we've got the concept in our heads, it's hard for us to know where to start - it's just not something we're used to.

Vicki Lansky comes to the rescue with this book. Her ideas give great inspiration for little ways to show affection (without crossing the line into the saccharine.) And there's enough variety to keep the spice in it.

After getting some practice with the ideas here, you may find that you've developed your own sense of how to keep things going.
