Flavor and Aroma Profile

  • Flavor Profile: Norquay delivers a bold, well-rounded flavor with moderate heat that builds on the palate.

It's a versatile garlic that enhances everything from sauces and sautés to dressings and marinades.

  • Aroma Profile: When chopped or crushed, Norquay Garlic releases an earthy, pungent aroma with warming spice and intensity.

Planting Time

It is typically planted in the fall for a summer harvest, similar to other hardneck garlic varieties. Planting in the fall allows the cloves to establish roots before winter sets in, leading to healthier plants and larger bulbs.

Scaping

Hardneck garlic varieties like this garlic produce scapes, curly flower stalks that emerge from the center of the plant. While the scapes are edible and delicious, their removal redirects energy to bulb development, resulting in larger cloves. Harvest scapes when they curl once or twice and use them in culinary dishes like pesto or stir-fries.

Storage and Preservation

How to Store Fresh Garlic

Once harvested in early to midsummer, allow the green stalks to completely dry and turn brown to ensure the garlic is fully cured. For best results, hang the hardneck bulbs in a cool, dry, and airy location to promote proper curing and preserve their bold flavor and nutrients. This type of garlic keeps well for several months, making it an excellent choice for both fresh and roasted dishes.

Preserving Garlic for Long-Term Use

To extend the shelf life of this garlic, harvest when the foliage has fully browned and the bulbs have reached maturity. Cure them in a dry, breezy location to retain their aromatic flavor and beneficial compounds. With its smooth texture and well-balanced taste, this garlic variety enhances everything from sauces to roasted vegetables, while holding its freshness in long-term storage.

Best Practices for Drying and Freezing

Freezing garlic after it has been properly cured is an effective way to extend its shelf life while maintaining its rich flavor and quality. Depending on your future use, you can freeze it in several forms—whole bulbs, individual cloves (peeled or with skins), or even minced. Although it’s possible to freeze garlic right after harvest without curing, it’s usually not advised. High moisture levels in uncured garlic can cause a soft or mushy texture once thawed, and the flavor may not be as robust.

4.5⭐️
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
Wild Love deserves all the hype it’s gotten. For my first Elsie Silver book, this one was a 4.5⭐️ A sweet, simple small town romance that will keep you on your toes. Rosie was a pretty relatable character if you’ve grown up in a small town. That feeling of wanting to get out, and wanting something more is something most probably feel. But it turned out that wasn’t what she actually wanted, and moving back to Rose Hill ended up being the peace she really needed. While we all love a good enemies to lovers trope, Ford discovering he had a daughter was a nice touch and kept the story much more interesting. Wild love didn’t just tell of two friends falling for each other, but also Ford navigating his newfound fatherhood and Rosie stepping in to help not only him but his daughter.

I’m absolutely OBSESSED!!!!!!
Format: Paperback
My love for this book is everything. Just thinking back to the little family—Ford, Cora, and Rosie—was absolutely amazing to read about. The way I completely fell in love with the lovesick billionaire, the grieving daughter, and a woman trying to find herself again was the best part of the book. I felt like each word drew me closer to the main characters. Ford is a billionaire who buys a run-down house in his old vacation town when, surprise, a quiet, guarded, incredibly smart twelve-year-old girl shows up on his doorstep claiming to be his daughter through a past sperm donation. Cora has lost her father, and her mother is struggling deeply, so Ford unexpectedly takes Cora under his wing. She’s sharp, sarcastic, emotionally reserved, and clearly carrying more weight than a kid her age should have to bear. Not long after, Rosie—Ford’s best friend’s little sister and his long-lost love—returns to town after being mistreated by her boss. Her arrival catches Ford completely off guard, and all the feelings he thought he’d buried come crashing back. Throughout the book, Rosie forms a deep, natural bond with Cora, and together they slowly build something that feels like home. Ford doesn’t just fall in love with Rosie—he falls in love with the family they create. Favorite Parts ★ Rosie’s bond with Cora was literally my breaking point. They are so incredibly sweet and felt completely real.

If you want to write that best seller correctly, this is the book for you!
Format: Paperback
Plot & Structure is a thorough handbook for writers looking to improve their storytelling. Bell, as many already know is a successful novelist and writing coach. He simplifies complex ideas like plot development and narrative structure into useful advice, practical tactics, and interesting activities that we can all understand. Bell's strategy revolves around the LOCK methodology, which stands for Lead, Objective, Confrontation, and Knockout. Not a new technique at all, this framework is intended to assist authors in crafting captivating story lines that hold readers' attention from start to finish. Bell clearly emphasizes the significance of developing a strong lead character who propels the story forward, a definite aim that guides the plot, a confrontation that adds tension and drama, and a knockout finish that leaves readers happy but wanting more. Clarity and order are two of the book's strongest points. Bell delivers his thoughts in a logical order, beginning with the basics of plot structure and progressing to more sophisticated themes such as subplots, pacing, and thematic depth. Each chapter is illustrated with examples from popular literature and cinema, making theoretical topics more concrete and understandable. This method not only enhances comprehension but also encourages readers to study and appreciate the workmanship behind their favorite stories. But Bell does this in a fun, and still factually correct manner. Bell's writing style is both informative and motivating. He communicates directly to the reader, anticipating their worries and queries and providing encouragement with his advice. His encouraging tone is especially helpful for aspiring authors who may be intimidated by the hurdles of narrative development, I know I was one of those. Bell tells them that, while creating a compelling plot is difficult, it is possible with perseverance, effort, and a willingness to learn from failures. The exercises at the end of each chapter are another standout feature of the book. These are intentionally created to put the concepts covered into practice, encouraging authors to explore various story scenarios, character motives, and narrative structures. By constantly promoting active participation, Bell guarantees that readers not only absorb the material but also apply it. This hands-on approach encourages creativity and experimentation, which are crucial skills for any writer trying to improve their art. He makes the whole process fun to do, which helps one feel involved more than some dreary instructional how-to book that we have all read and forgotten. Furthermore, Bell discusses frequent plotting difficulties and provides solutions to solve them. He addresses difficulties like predictable storylines, uninteresting characters, and drooping middles, offering practical advice on how to increase suspense, deepen character development, and sustain momentum throughout the novel. This problem-solving part of the book is crucial since it provides writers with skills for critically evaluating and improving their work. It dives into the psychological and emotional sides of narrative, recognizing that a successful plot is more than just what occurs, but how it affects the characters and, as a result, the readers. Bell urges writers to explore their characters' emotional journeys, claiming that emotional resonance is critical to producing a memorable and meaningful story. Despite its numerous qualities, the book might have used more diverse examples, such as those from genres outside of Bell's area of expertise, contemporary literature, and indie presses. While the emphasis is mostly on traditional narrative frameworks, some consideration of experimental and non-linear storytelling could have provided a more comprehensive perspective on the art of plotting. Its thorough examination of plot creation, along with practical exercises and insightful suggestions, makes it an invaluable resource for anybody wishing to master the craft of storytelling. Whether you're a new writer struggling with your first plot or an experienced author looking to improve your skills, this book provides the assistance and inspiration you need to create captivating narratives that keep readers engaged from beginning to end. Plus, you will have fun along the way too!

One of the best books about writing!
Format: Paperback
Each chapter offered valuable information. I can't praise it enough. It's simply one of the best books that I have read about writing. I have learned plenty, and I will apply it to my new novel that I'm working on right now! Buy it! Read it! It works wonders! It's invaluable to my collection. If you're building your collection, make sure this book finds a place in your home. I have outlined so much. I have taken so many notes. I memorized elements of the structure. The author didn't take any break. He didn't stop surprising me toward the end. Great work! OVERVIEW The author talks about the LOCK system for your novel. L --You need to have a gripping Lead with whom readers can identify with. You need sympathy, likability, and inner conflict. You need to build an arc of your character breaking into his layers, so the lead changes by the end of the novel. You need to show it through action and show the moment of change. O-- Objective, a goal your lead wants to achieve. You need to create a strong opposition, and put that opposition close to the lead. It might be a physical location, moral duty, professional obligation, life or death situation, obsession, etc. C--Confrontation or simply said conflict that grows; stakes are raised higher leading to the climax of the story. K--Knockout--final fight against opposition You need three ACT structure: Beginning (Act 1) , Middle(Act 2), Ending (Act 3) Beginnings- You need to reveal the lead; hook the reader; create sympathy through those things that I have mentioned earlier. You need to create disturbance in his life that will move the Lead to Act 2 which is the middle, no return. Middles- Raise the stakes; scenes are more tense; create more conflict and have a death hanging over your Lead (emotional death, physical, or professional, etc.) The customer is nearing the black moment. The Lead enters another door of no return. Endings-Battle--tie those lose endings (some might contain sacrifice) 1. A final choice or 2. A final battle Add a twist if possible. If you follow the above and create a back cover blurb, you can go ahead and write your novel knowing it will not fail. Create an arc of the character that concentrates on the internal part of the character. I like to create also two charts. One is for the Lead showing how the character is changing internally. Another one, characters who play the parts in your novel divided into following categories: Character, Description, Objective, Role, Secret, and Emotion Evoked. You can add as much as you want in your never ending list. Scenes- HIP- Hook, Keep it Intense, Prompt to another scene Stretch tension! You need show instead of tell. ARM- Action, Reaction, and More Action Soap Opera-- don't resolve anything until the end, and you might want to end the scene with a secret revealed or a cliff hanging moment. Complex Plots--Play with symbols or motifs; create subplots and integrate them into the main plot, or use parallel plots used so much in romance novels. Or divide into sections; each section to contain the LOCK system and three act structure. Some other things that I found valuable: Flashbacks -- keep them short; create scenes out of them; use one HAD. If your middle doesn't play well, do something unexpected like throwing a guy with a gun. Unanticipate-- avoid cliches, create unpredictiable scenes, endings If you present something in the story, make sure you use it later in your novel. If you mention the riffle on the wall, make sure it will play out in the future scene. You need to work backwards. You need to plant things, so the future scenes will make sense. The author talked about SHUTDOWN. I have experienced it myself just after the conference. It happens when the writer is overwhelmed and can't produce. It's a phase that passes. I did have it for two weeks. I was just simply exhausted and overwhelmed. I took a break, and the passion came back.

Pretty Good... Not amazing.... But pretty good.
Format: Paperback
Before taking a stab at my first real story I have decided to read two books on the art of writing fiction; "Techniques of the Selling Writer" by Dwight Swain, and the book I am reviewing now, "Plot and Structure" by James Bell. While Swain's book was more of an all inclusive manual on writing interesting fiction, Bell's book is focused strictly on, as the name suggests, plot and structure. What this book is not... This is not a 'how to write a novel' book; if you are going to just read one book on writing a fiction novel then "Techniques of the Selling Writer" may be the more appropriate choice. If you are looking for a book that deals with anything outside of plot and structure, this book will be of no help there either. This book is designed to be supplemental to an already moderately educated reader. If you read Swain's book first, then you will instantly recognize the principles of this book. What this book is... This is a great book on, you guessed it, Plot and Structure. It's actually a fairly concentrated look into the subject. The chapters... Ch 1: What's a plot, anyway? Ch 2: Structure: What holds your plot together. Ch 3: How to explode with plot ideas. Ch 4: Beginning strong. Ch 5: Middles. Ch 6: Endings. Ch 7: Scenes. Ch 8: Complex Plots. Ch 9: The character arc in plot. Ch 10: Plotting Systems. Ch 11: Revising your plot. Ch 12: Plot Patterns. Ch 13: Common plot problems and cures. Ch 14: Tips and Tools for plot and structure. I found the specificity of this book very helpful with each principle being illustrated by a paragraph or so of a known author's work. Bell handpicks excerpts from authors varying from Dean Koontz to Herman Melville, brilliantly pulling text from these masters and showing us how they went about the relevant technique. This easy to read nature and well outlined subject matter means I will be using several of its chapters as a personal reference guide in the future. I'm certain it will keep me from making many of the mistakes beginning writers make and possibly save me weeks in rewrites. I will say this though... "Techniques of the Selling Writer" is a better book and covers plot quite well too; so if you are only going to read one book on writing, that is a damn good place to start. If you want to supplement that reading further, "Plot and Structure" comes highly recommended. [...]
