Suzanne Beecher has been sending me emails nearly everyday for the last 4-5 years that I always look forward to and make time to read. She feels like a beloved friend or co-worker but I have never met her. I hear about her family, and travels but she also shares her trials and emotions that I can usually relate to in some way. DearReader.com is the way I have connected with Suzanne. I enjoy a few paragraphs of a new book each week in the particular genre I am most interested in and also anticipate a few paragraphs from Suzanne, the owner of this website.

Muffins and Mayhem: recipes for a happy (if disorderly) life is the first book written by this fun, and expressive online bookclub lady. I enjoyed every page of her musings and revealing stories. She has been a restaurant owner, started her own business magazine, ran a non-profit program to feed the homeless and now writes a daily column that over 350,000 readers subscribe to at DearReader.com. Suzanne includes some of her favorite recipes, including the chocolate chip cookies recipe that she has prepared to get her foot in the door at publishing companies all over the country.
