      Quite simply, I am looking for a publisher (or publishers) for my writing projects.
I don't have an agent, and don't particularly want to use one, as my intention is to use many of my books as tools to raise funds for children's and animal charities, and to donate as much as I possibly can.
      I am tired of being unemployed and not getting replies to my many proposals.

      These are my current projects for which I am looking for a home at one or more publisher.

A cookbook using my own tried-and-tested recipes from way back.  Some contemporary recipes as well as some South African recipes with which I grew up.  I will take my own illustrative photographs and may also offer "simply elegant" table settings.  This cookbook has easy-to-make recipes which are not complicated in the least.  The proceeds from this project will benefit women and children fleeing abusive homes.  Proceeds to come from my earnings.
A cookbook compiled using recipes contributed by a number of well-known chefs/cooks/bakers, etc.  The contributions are pouring in.  See my web page for details.  The proceeds from this project will benefit women and children fleeing abusive homes.  Proceeds to come from my earnings.
Profiles* - A series of books featuring three celebrity subjects (celebrity meaning well-known in any capacity) per issue, answering Q&A format interviews.  It will be illustrated.  See my web page for details.  I have a number of celebrities willing to take part but who won't commit until I have a publisher!  Contact me for details.  The proceeds from this project will benefit women and children fleeing abusive homes, as well as animal charities.  Each celebrity nominates their favorite charity to whom I will also donate.  Proceeds to come from my earnings.
A new imprint?  A new travel series featuring two destinations instead of the usual one.  Travelers will have the option of combining two stops on their trips.  Contact me for details.  I take all my own photographs (see my travel web pages) and have already published a travel guide, A Marmac Guide to Las Vegas.
Manners and Etiquette (not the title) - What happened to these admirable traits?  Many old-fashioned "manners" have taken a backseat these days and I have written a more modern approach to being a nice and respectful person, both at home and in society.  This book has been written and I just need to edit it.  Contact me for details.  This could turn into a speaking series based on the book.  God knows, we sorely need to restore manners in this country.
Published October 2007 The Obviousness of It All - A Guide to Common Sense (ISBN 1-4241-7807-X) Common Sense (self-help) (not the title) - Not all of us are born with common sense and thus fail to see the logical way to be a better person - eat healthily, be nice to people, improve your own life, etc.  Recipes and helpful hints.  Contact me for details.
Teach Yourself to Type* - An easy-to-use flip book on teaching yourself to type.  So many people have home computers and are working from home, yet are not proficient at typing.  Being able to type well and accurately is key to any business - it shows a degree of professionalism and saves a huge amount of time.  Or, for anyone wanting to improve their typing skills and their typing speed.  This book has been written and is ready to go.  Contact me for details.
Children's Story book (to be illustrated) - An interesting story about a farm and all the animals who live on it.  From horses to birds and fish - quiz questions at the end of the book to help children learn the different types of animals.  This book has been written but not illustrated - I don't have an illustrator but could perhaps illustrate with photographs.  Contact me for details.  The proceeds from this project will benefit women and children fleeing abusive homes, as well as animal charities.  Proceeds to come from my earnings.
