Works in Progress by Karin Velez
Savoring the Harvest
Eating with the Seasons for Health and Humanity
Karin's first book relates to her other occupation as an organic and sustainable farmer. The book focuses on the reasons behind why eating with the seasons is good for both our health and for humanity as a whole. Information includes nutritional information, a buying guide comparing conventional, local and organic products, and how to "go organic" on a budget. The book provides regional planting guides, preservation methods and seasonal recipes, and discusses Community Supported Agriculture.
Savoring the Harvest can be purchased on this website or on Amazon.com in June 2010. Check back in June for ordering information.
Because I Said So
The Inspirational Journey of Cheryl "Action" Jackson
Karin is currently working on an exciting project with Cheryl "Action" Jackson of Minnie's Food Pantry in Plano, Texas. Cheryl's life has been full of ups and downs, trials and tribulations, challenges and successes. With Karin's help, Cheryl is telling her inspiring story to the world. Cheryl has interviewed and been mentored by the likes of Emmitt Smith, Oprah Winfrey, Maya Angelou, Magic Johnson and many more.
Her inspiring story will take readers from Cheryl's beginnings in a poor neighborhood of Dallas, through her youth and early struggles as a young mother, and into her successful life as a marketer and founder of Minnie's Food Pantry. Her philanthropic work and life views will inspire those struggling in these tough economic times to see the light at the end of the tunnel and to understand that through hard work and determination anything is possible.
The Giving Movement does not have a publishing date as of yet. We'll post ordering information when it's available.
Additional Projects
Karin is currently working with Efiletaxreturns.com to produce monthly articles for promoting their online tax preparation services. Karin writes and publishes six articles on a variety of tax topics each month, including content about tax deductions, e-file services, refunds and more.
Karin is continuing to work with two clients to create and update their websites. The basic version of DoubleHConstruction has already been launched, but a much more dynamic version is in the works. A brand new, expanded version of MiddleofNowhere-MO is also in the works, to be released the first week of June.
Website content and Google Adwords campaigns are one of Karin's many talents. She is currently under contract with Omax.org (warning: adult content) to produce content, ad pages and Adwords campaigns for their product. Managing the PPC campaigns will be an ongoing, long-term process.
Karin is also working on two additional non-fiction books about organic gardening and business management and preparing to write a series of fiction novels.
