I am currently reading Doughnuts for Amy. It is a great book. I was looking for another by you. I hope you think about writing another. I am at a delicious part of the book and will be sitting to read it in just a bit. Thanks for writing this book.

Mr. Malik,
I would like to run a short feature on you, your work in the restaurant field and your new book in Southeastern Louisiana University’s magazine, which we are currently in the final stages of preparing.
Could you provide me with some background on yourself … where are you from, how did you come to go to Southeastern, what years you were here, any memories about the university.
Also, is you wife from this area as well?
I could also use a photo of yourself and your wife.
I can be reached at 985-549-2341.
Thanks,
Rene Abadie
