MAKING CONNECTIONS with The Pie Lady Books!

MAKING CONNECTIONS with The Pie Lady Books!

Stephanie Hockersmith, otherwise known as The Pie Lady Books, found a way to turn two of her favorite things - baking and books - into an adventure…

She and her amazing art (in the form of gluten free pies) have appeared on the Today Show, Good Morning America, in Better Homes and Garden magazine, and too many other places to mention. Her Instagram account, @pieladybooks, has over 63,000 book loving followers.

Y’all she’s not just incredibly talented, she’s also a champion of authors - giving us a fun and creative way to promote our books.

When you commission The Pie Lady Books to promote your work, Stephanie not only creates a masterpiece with your cover, she leaves a review and gives you a boost. When the beautiful pie for my novella,Oliver, popped up on her Instagram account @pieladybooks with her well thought out and honest review, I received over 800 likes within minutes. The number passed 1,000 before the day was over and lots of fun connections were made!

If you’d like to contact Stephanie for commission at this time send her an email to: pieladybooks@gmail.com. She’s working on a website so stay tuned!

“I have a complicated relationship with pies. I love them but I am not very good at making them. Let me rephrase that—I am actually pretty bad at making them. Let’s talk crust. I never know whether to use butter or lard. I never get the amount of ice water right which can make the crust too gummy. I have to add more and more flour to the rolling pin to keep it from sticking, which turns it into beach sand . And when I transfer it to the pie plate, it cracks like an asphalt road after a particularly punishing winter. So imagine my joy when Stephanie Hockersmith, the one and only Pie Lady, revealed the cover of my upcoming novel, Reef Road, with one of her stunning pies! I no longer need to hang my head in pie shame. For I have—living forever—the most gorgeous pie I have ever seen as a tribute to my book baby. Thank you Pie Lady!!!!! Your work brings a smile to so many of us every day.” Deborah Goodrich Royce, author of Finding Mrs. Ford, Ruby Falls, and Reef Road

"My family loves pies. Pie is our favorite dessert. However, I have to admit we don’t bake pies. We buy pies. We know where to go for the best of each fruit variety. We will drive to a certain bakery for apple and another place in another state for Dutch apple. Yes, we are obsessed, which is why it was the thrill of my recent book release to discover that Stephanie Hockersmith, the one and only pie book lady, cooked up a masterpiece to match my cover. Stephanie’s creation is literally too good to eat. I will never give up a piece of my pie!” Marilyn Simon Rothstein, author of Crazy to Leave You, Husbands and Other Sharp Objects, Lift and Separate

This… if you’ve read the book, you know why it’s one of my favorite pies! Stephanie is not only smart, artistic, and insanely creative - she has a terrific sense of humor! Contact her and I promise you’ll have fun while promoting your book!
