Today you are all guinea pigs......thank you

It's HEADING not HEADER!!! I did the whole thing saying HEADER!! Arg!
And one step I skipped, when you get to the step where you open the table of contents window, pick a format, then SHAZAM click on it and all your previously selected headings turn into a Table of Contents.......BEFORE YOU SELECT A HEADINGS FORMAT YOU MUST SELECT A BLANK LINE IN THE WORD DOC WHERE YOU WANT THE TABLE OF CONTENTS. That's where it will go, just aim your cursor arrow at the spot you want the TOC, click on it, and then go select the TOC formatting style.
PS this is really useful if anyone wants to publish a non-fiction book. Those usually need a Table of Contents.
Below are the images I used in the above video if you want a longer look at them.
The word Easy Sweets is highlighted, then I clicked on Heading 1.
The words below it: ex. Connealy Crunch are highlighted then I click on Heading 2. That makes them indented from Heading 1.
PS Connealy Crunch is so delicious you will all want to come after me with pick forks and torches for addicting you to it!!!!! HAH! But you'll be too busy munching to light the torch! So I am SAFE!

Above is the finished Product
The table of Contents from Faster Than Fast Food! Isn't it CUTE???!!! Perfect and tidy...soooooo not like me life!
Each one of these words is CLICKABLE and will zip you to the recipe.

Now the steps.
First the top of a word document, note the yellow arrow.

The word HEADING is key. I've never known what that is, but turns out it is SOMETHING. And to make a Table of Contents, it's important. Don't you wonder what other things a computer will do that we have no notion of???
Second Step....turn each thing you want to be in the table of contents by highlighting it, then clicking on Heading 1 or if it's a subsection pick heading 2.

Look again at my final table of contents. The sections and subsections. So since I made a cookbook I wanted general sections, like soups and sweets and main dishes, and I also wanted a subsection for each specific recipe. (I can feel the vibrations of how proud Ruthy is of me! It gives me the strength to go on!)
Page numbers appear, too.

Next step once all your headings 1 and headings 2 are chosen, click on REFERENCE

Then click on Table of Contents (look for the yellow arrows in my image)

The image below will appear.

Select the format you want and, I am sorry to say, I see NO DIFFERENCE between the two. Maybe the words TABLE OF CONTENTS in the second and only the word CONTENTS in the first? Okay. Is that it? Weird.

If anyone sees anything else, tell me.

And now I will list for you the FOUR BOOKS I had release last week.

Yes, I know, I should have probably timed my cookbook release more....ahem...strategically?

WHICH BOOK SHOULD I GIVE AWAY!!!

How about one of each? Four books to four different winners!

Remember

Faster than Fast Food is ebook only

and

The Tangled Ties that Bind is an ebook only and available in print in Hearts Entwined.

Faster Than Fast Food

Mary "Not-A-Chef" Connealy favorites, using every shortcut in the books. (that has a double meaning! I just realized that! I should have used it on Amazon in the description--Ruthy? Can I change stuff after it's published?)

Cowboys of Summer

This is CONTEMPORARY COWBOYS! LETTING THEM USE A CELL PHONE WAS A THRILL BEYOND BELIEF!!!

As the summer weather sizzles, relax by the pool with stirring tales of handsome cowboys and the spirited ladies who wrangle them into romance. Six of Christian fiction's most beloved authors (< EXCUSE ME, IMMODEST!) join forces to bring you a collection of humorous, romantic and heartfelt novellas set against the sultry heat of summer.

In Mary Connealy's, "Dr. Tess and the Cowboy", sparks fly when Dr. Tessa Rhoades discovers dinosaur bones on Joe Holt's ranch and decides to excavate-even if that means kicking Joe off his own land.
In "Hometown Girl" by Cheryl St.John, injured rodeo champion Justin Cooper returns to the sleepy Oklahoma town he escaped for fame and fortune--and takes his biggest tumble yet--straight into the arms of Stevie Marshall, his first love who soon has him questioning his life choices.
In Tina Radcliffe's, "Lake Effect", cynical cowboy Tucker Jackson knows he's in trouble when he starts counting the days until the end of summer and praying 'summer girl' Jessica Richards will find a home for her heart in Paradise.
In "His Lone Star Heart" by Missy Tippens, rancher Zeb West tries hard not to fall for Beecher Brown, the feisty but off-limits sister of his best friend. As she tries to prove she's capable of running her family's ranch--the one he's trying to buy--he might just find he's met his match...for life.
Will Lorna Seilstad's characters make "Great Strides" when Dana Etherton, the owner of a horse therapy ranch, must choose between the kids she serves and Adam Malone, the embezzler who's been assigned to do community service there?
When Paige Monroe agrees to draw the press away from a country star's wedding by pretending to be the look-alike bride, she wasn't counting on having very real feeling for her decoy fiancé, Sterling Tanner. Sherri Shackelford's, "The Decoy Bride", shows what happens when two people feigning love forget they're acting.

The Tangled Ties that Bind

PS I Love this little novella. Such a fun one! You are all gonna love the stage coach accident!!!

Formerly in a novella collection called Hearts Entwined, so you may have read it already.

While running from an angry buffalo, two friends, who always wanted more, reunite. Connor has returned home determined to pursue the woman he never stopped caring about. But Maggie wants to be a city doctor, and he is a rancher through and through. Will either be willing to give up their dream? Or will they both have to give up the love of a lifetime?

All for Love

Three of Christian historical fiction's beloved authors (<<<there's that ego again! I did NOT write this. I copied and pasted) come together in this romantic and humorous collection of novellas featuring prequels to their latest series. New and loyal fans alike will enjoy these novellas previously released only as ebooks. Connealy's "The Boden Birthright" journeys to the Old West, where ranch hand Chance Boden's determination to be his own boss is challenged by his employer's pretty daughter. Hunter's "A Lady of Esteem" follows a Regency-era young lady whose chance at love and reputation in society are threatened by a nasty rumor. Turano's "At Your Request" tells of a young woman who is humbled at her newly lowered status in society when she is reunited with the very man whose proposal she rejected.

Formerly available separately as ebooks, so you may have read them already
