Over The Fence

by Melanie Moreland

Date of Publication: August 4, 2015

Follow the Tour

Synopsis

There are so many ways to fall in love in today’s world. Besides the usual bars and blind dates, you can meet someone from any part of the world via the computer. The scope is endless. Possibilities abound, if that’s what you want.

But what happens when you aren’t searching for love, and it shows up—way closer than you ever expected?

Two neighbors—strangers— with one thing in common—they share a fence.

But is that the only thing they share?

Nathan Fraser lives a solitary life, never letting anyone get too close. It’s safer that way.

Kourtney Whyte hides from the world and behind her work, too afraid to really live her life to the fullest. Rejection is what she knows best.

But one night, the sound of her soft voice and the tantalizing aroma of her evening meal, prove too enticing for Nathan to ignore.

So begins their unconventional relationship—talking, learning, texting, and gradually opening up to one another, all over the fence.

That is, until the day Nathan braves the high fence to protect Kourtney from her past and changes everything forever.

Can they move forward together, without the buffer of the fence?

Or will their pasts prove to be too much of a barrier?

About the Author

Melanie Moreland lives a happy and content life in a quiet area of Ontario with her husband and four children. Nothing means more to her than her friends and family, and she cherishes every moment spent with them. Known as the quiet one with the big laugh, Melanie works for the sporting teams of a local university. Her (box) office job, while demanding, is rewarding as she cheers on her team to victory. While seriously addicted to coffee, and somewhat challenged with all things computer-related and technical, she relishes baking, cooking and trying new recipes for people to sample. She loves to throw dinner parties and socialize, and also enjoys traveling, here and abroad, but finds coming home is always the best part of any trip. Melanie delights in writing a good romance story with some bumps along the way but is a true believer in happily ever after. When her head isn’t buried in a book, it is bent over a keyboard, furiously typing away as her characters dictate their creative story lines to her even more inspired tales, for all to enjoy.

 Excerpt

Something inside of me that I’d nurtured for years refused to allow me to lie on the ground and tremble in fear. No matter what life threw at me, I wasn’t one to cower from a challenge. 

I pushed myself up onto my knees and then I stood up. The smell of fresh rain surrounded me as I struggled to hear any sounds. Slowly I turned to see the wolf watching me with its amber eyes. 

Meet Regan Ure

Regan discovered the joy of writing at the tender age of twelve. Her first two novels were teen fiction romance. She then got sidetracked into the world of computer programming and travelled extensively visiting twenty-seven countries.

A few years ago after her son’s birth she stayed home and took another trip into the world of writing. After writing nine stories on Wattpad, winning an award and becoming a featured writer the next step was to publish her stories.

Born in South Africa she lives in Johannesburg with her two children and husband, who is currently doing his masters.

If she isn’t writing her next novel you will find her reading soppy romance novels, shopping like an adrenaline junkie or watching too much television.

True To Your Roots by Carla Kelly Review!

About the book

Once the lonely, unattractive kin of sexier, more popular produce, root vegetables (along with tubers and rhizomes) finally get the love and attention they deserve in this inventive and far-reaching vegan cookbook. Instead of heavy stews and soups—the most common uses for root vegetables, in which they play mild-mannered backup to meat-centric ingredients—author Carla Kelly lets roots, tubers, and rhizomes shine on their own in recipes that include lighter versions of those traditional stews and soups as well as juices, salads, desserts, and ethnically inspired entrees such as potato, sauerkraut, and dill pierogies and sweet potato and pinto bean enchiladas.

The book includes a great collection of raw bites and sides, as well as information on the wide variety of root vegetables available, including what to do with those mysterious specimens in the market such as kohlrabi, cassava, celeriac, and Jerusalem artichokes. There's also imaginative recipes that find new ways to use the more familiar parsnips, turnips, beets, and potatoes.

Be the cool cook on the block and jump on the root vegetable bandwagon before the rest of the neighborhood does with help from Carla's amazing cookbook. Full-color throughout.

About the Author

Carla Kelly is the author of three previous books, the most recent being Vegan al Fresco (2014). An experienced vegan cook, baker, and blogger (Year of the Vegan), she believes food tastes best when it is shared with laughter and love, and who delights in creating good food, with flavor combinations that may surprise, which is also good for you, your loved ones, animals everywhere, and the planet.

My Thoughts
What is a root vegetable you ask? It is the enlarged fleshy root of a plant used as a vegetable, e.g., a carrot, rutabaga, or beet. The focus of this book is about using and cooking with root veggies. The art of using the whole vegetable, where the recipes in the book utilize the whole plant, mostly plants that grow underground.

There is the introduction to the book gives a detailed description of Basic Botany, how to choose and store root vegetables, growing your vegetables, how to use the vegetable root to tip, about the ingredients used in the recipes and what kind of equipment needed and then a bit about allergies and the icons used in the book

The sections are as follows; recipes for breakfasts, brunches and baking, Juice recipes, starters and apples, soups, salads, sides, entrees, condiments and decadent desserts. A little something for everyone. I did find the recipe for carrot & herb sausages, I never thought that you could make sausages out of root veggies.

Going through the recipes in this book is eye opening, if you wanted to be a vegan and want a variety of foods using root vegetables, this book is for you. Easy instructions, colorful pictures and great detail make this an addition to any kitchen. If you are a vegan this book is perfect and if you are not, what a way to get you to eat those veggies!

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and was not monetarily compensated for my review.

My Thoughts

What is wheat dalia you ask?

"Bulgur is also known as "Dalia" in North India. It contains Oatmeal and Wheat. Dalia is popular all over the wheat-consuming regions of North India. It can be consumed as sweet dalia or regular dalia.

Bulgur can be used in pilafs, soups, bakery goods, or as stuffing. In bread, it adds a whole grain component. It is a main ingredient in tabbouleh salad and kibbeh. Its high nutritional value makes it a good substitute for rice or couscous. In Indian cuisine, bulgur or daliya is used as cereal with milk and sugar. In the United States is often used as a side dish, much like pasta or rice. In meals, bulgur is often mistaken for rice because it can be prepared in a similar manner, although it has a texture more like couscous than rice. A popular South American carnival food, bulgur is often prepared with flower pollen and tapioca syrup and fried in patties." ..WIKI

I received a package for review and was not compensated, my thoughts are my own. 

That said, I used the Wheat Dalia in bread (see recipe at the end of review) It was one of the best loaves of bread that I have made. The wheat dalia in the bread gave it a bit of a crunch. It was so delicious. Wheat Dalia is such a versatile vegan food. You can have it for breakfast, with chia seeds, cooked with coconut milk. It can also be cooked with added vegetables of choice to make a great side dish! There are also various methods in which to cook dalia. You can steam it, stir fry it and even make in the microwave. I really liked it and when it gets colder out, I want to try it as cereal. 

Ingredients

2 ¼ cup all-purpose flour

½ cup Cracked wheat

¾ cup + 2 tablespoons water

1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon Olive oil

1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon sugar

1 ½ teaspoon Instant dry yeast

1 teaspoon salt

Method

Bring ¾ cup water to a boil.  Place cracked wheat in a bowl. Pour boiling water on it. Cover and keep for 1 hour or till the cracked wheat becomes soft and swells up.

Add yeast, sugar, salt and oil to the cracked wheat (the cracked wheat should be warm). Stir to mix well.  Empty this mix to a big bowl or a kneading plate. Add flour and stir. Knead with hands for 5 to 7 minutes to get a soft and elastic dough.   Add more water if the dough feels hard. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl and turn around to coat evenly with oil. Cover. Leave to rise for 1 hour or till it doubles in volume.

Knock down the dough on a floured counter. Roll out the dough into a rectangle not bigger than the width of the pan you are using. Roll the dough towards you, tightly. Pinch seams to seal.

Grease one 9 inch x 5 inch loaf tin. Place the roll in the greased loaf tin with the seam side down. Cover and keep it to rise for 1 ½ hours in a warm place or till it rises ½ inch above the lip of the pan.

Preheat the oven to 190 degrees. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes till the top turns golden and the bottom sounds hollow when tapped. Tent with a foil if the top is browning too fast.

Remove from pan after 5 minutes. Cool in the rack. Slice next day.
