What are "Cookbooks for Guys?"
"These are good-tasting recipes for men that are simple and quick to make because we're lazy and we're hungry," says author Tim Murphy.
With fourteen titles in the series and more coming, Tim Murphy has struck upon a concept that has become a cottage industry.
"People are so locked into a dog or meat patty on the grill and a glop of condiments. Both books go well beyond the tried and true. These aren't gourmet, but aside from dozens of recipes in each book I've researched over 150 condiments, stuffings, spices and sauces that take the humble hot dog and basic burger to the next level," says Murphy.
And it's not about just food. Murphy donates 25% of all book profits to The Wounded Warrior Project. He says it's just "the right thing to do, to give back to those that gave so much."
Murphy has also just released his first "non-cookbook" title called "Flannel John's Emergency Preparation and Bug Out Book." In case of a disaster, natural or man-made, you should have an emergency kit on hand. Author Tim Murphy has researched and compiled the 100+ items that can get you through a short-term crisis of a long-term disaster. Something as small as a 20-cent pencil sharpener or wine cork could be a life saver.
"A pencil sharpener in your "go bag" can be used to shave tinder from twigs and start a fire to keep you and your family warm," says Tim Murphy. "Wine corks can be used as a makeshift fishing bopper or as a security float for keys or glasses."
"There is NOT going to be a zombie apocalypse. It makes for compelling television and movies but the dead are not going to rise and crave human flesh. You are going to face emergencies. Depending on where you live, it could be a flood, tsunami, forest fire, tornado, hurricane, snowstorm, mud slide or power outage. In some cases, you may have to hunker down and ride it out. In other instances, you'll have just moments to gather the family and bug out. I wrote this book to keep people safe" says Murphy. All three books are $7.95.
Murphy is a veteran radio broadcaster and freelance writer. He is the Operations Manager for Ohana Media Group, a five-station cluster in Astoria, Oregon and is also the morning announcer for 102.3 KCRX. He lives in Astoria, OR with his wife LisaMarie Costanzo.
