Why gardening is amazing!

Some people wonder why I garden and here’s the answer…

I just love seeing all the colors in the flowers and love having fresh vegetables right out of the garden.

Audrey Hepburn said “To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.”

That is so true. You plant the seeds or the plants and hold your breath to see if it will take. But when it does, it’s amazing.

If you’ve always wanted to try your hand at gardening, but need a little help to get started, you can find some good references at https://scottsmiraclegro.com/.

P.S. – Gardening also helps when you’re writing a book! In More than a Mission, the heroine is a chef with an extensive garden, but some of those plants may have been used to poison a prince!

Time for a little gratitude!

In ONE word, what are you most grateful for?

For me, it would be AMERICA. I am so so grateful for all the opportunities that this amazing Nation has given me.

I hope you all enjoy this day off for the 4th of July holiday!

Amazing New Cover Reveal!

It is so so exciting to share with you the cover of my February 2022 release from Sourcebooks: The Family She Never Met.

This book is so close to my heart because interwoven with the fictional story are real-life stories from my family history. I’ll be sharing the behind-the-scenes of those stories as well as photos with you in the future, but for today, you can visit the fabulous Nerd Daily blog for the inspiration for The Family She Never Met.

As for the cover, here she is! Isn’t she pretty!
The Family She Never met

P.S. – If you’re saying to yourself, isn’t this a departure from what I normally do, well, yes and no. It’s certainly a story steeped in history and a story about three women separated by the past, but there is also a strong romantic element as the heroine meets the man who just might be part of her future.

A Happy Trip Back to Third Grade

While downsizing, I came across a photo of my third-grade class at P.S. 219 in Queens, NY. It was a happy trip back to those times since I’ve always loved school. It was also my last class in Queens since we moved to Levittown, Long Island where I started in the fourth grade.

I remember that dress well. It was one of my favorites because it made me look like a little flower. LOL!

That’s today’s Throwback Thursday! Don’t forget that my South Beach Love giveaway is still running at https://www.facebook.com/Caridad.Author/posts/10158065308960913.
