4/19/12: THIS BLOG HOP IS PAU (ALL DONE)! THE WINNER IS KIMMIE MATTHEWS! CONGRATULATIONS, KIMMIE, AND THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED!
Authors in Bloom friends, welcome to the Mia King website! After some technical difficulties, it seems that winter has decided to step aside and at, last, spring is here.
I’m kicking off the season with my first blog hop! Join in the fun and hop around and visit all 75 Authors in Bloom. You’ll find 10 days of gardening tips, recipes, great giveaways and one amazing grand prize: a Kindle Fire or Nook (winner’s choice) along with a $25 gift card to get books for your new eReader.
A Taste of Spring!
If you’ve read any of my books, you’ll know that they all contain yummy recipes (confession: I hate the word yummy. I’m a writer, you’d think I could come up with something different. But I can’t. So yummy it is until you help me come up with something better). Here is a yummy (gah! help!) recipe that I’m happy to share, the one that made all the difference in Deidre McIntosh’s life, my protagonist in Good Things and Table Manners.
The scones that changed her life…
(click above to go to this yummy recipe. Again, please save me from ever having to use this word again.)

I’m giving away this very sweet, very fun 8″ mini rainbow garden spinner PLUS a Mia King book of your choice! If you’re new to my books, just click on the MIA’S BOOKS tab above and read a short synopsis to figure out which one you’d love to read.
Got spinner? Imagine yourself looking out your kitchen window and seeing this colorful spinner, happily spinning away in your garden!

I was the 12th person to Like “Sweet Life”. Lately we have been saying, “dewishous”, quoting my best friend’s toddler. Corny, but it makes us smile every time. I am from Clatskanie, OR, a little town in the NW corner of the state.

I am # 51 in likes for Table Manners and I was thinking of a word in place of “yummy” and it has been said already, but I thought of “scrumptious” also.
“Onolicious” is the word I would replace for “yummy.” I couldn’t find any “thumbs up” on “Table Manners”, but “the browser of this device (iPad) does not support ??? I’ll do it on my laptop when I come home from work. I just wanted to hurry and repost on FB!
