Monday Morning. Dreams. Goals.

Monday morning. Goals. Dreams. Did your eyes roll or did your mind start thinking about what you wanted to do this week? I’d love to hear what plans you have. As for me, with the weather getting warmer I’ve started planting some things and prepping pots for later. I’ve got a few romance novels to write as well as a recipe book that I want to share with you since so many of you love my recipes and SOUTH BEACH LOVE is just packed with DELICIOUS food! Speaking of recipes, you can check out my Cook’s Treat section for all the recipes I’ve shared over the years.

Love Red Rock Canyon, Nevada

My friends and I try to do a writing retreat every few years and I so miss doing them! I hope we can schedule one soon. One of the places we get together is Las Vegas because it’s easy to get to for most of us. Besides working on our stories, we take time to see some shows and to visit the fabulous Red Rock Canyon for some hikes. Today I’m sharing this picture I took the last time we were there for a visit.

Three Surprising Things About Caridad!

It’s open-mic day! You’ve asked and I’m answering: here are three surprising things I bet you didn’t know about me!

The first: I wrote my first book in the fifth grade when a teacher assigned a class project, namely, to write a 20 typed page book for a class lending library. I went home and started writing and my poor mom had to help me type up by 120 (YES ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY) page book. It was a romance, of course, and it was written on a typewriter much like the one in this photo!

The second: I ghostwrote the novel tie-in for the Jane the Virgin television show! Jane even said my name on the show and called me “The Queen of Latina Romance.” More like a princess than a queen, but very exciting.

The third: I would love to own a bed and breakfast geared just for writers. I’d get up in the morning and make everyone a wonderful breakfast and then spend a few hours helping writers and learning some new things myself.

Do you have a question for me? I’d be happy to answer! Take a moment to share something about yourself!
