Happy Easters Over the Years with Caridad and Her Family

With Easter just days away I thought I’d share some photos of our family Easters over the years! As kids we always got dressed up and we often went into Manhattan to do the 5th Avenue Easter parade. One very special Easter we also went to Radio City Music Hall to see The Sound of Music. It was so exciting to do that and also very emotional since I deeply identified with the Von Trapp family as they made their escape from Austria over the Alps. It made me think about how my family had escaped Cuba to make it to the United States. So here goes with our Easter of the years with my sis, grandma, and mother.

Celebrate Caridad’s Good News and More!

Thank you all for the wonderful reviews and comments on Cold Case Reopened! I truly appreciate your support for my very first Harlequin Intrigue. If you enjoyed this book, I think you will really like Trapping a Terrorist, my next Harlequin Intrigue. Here is a little teaser for it!

    Trapping a Terrorist

    An FBI agent puts everything on the line…

    To keep a deadly threat at bay.

    When FBI agent Miguel Peters and his father land squarely in the crosshairs of a bomber terrorizing Seattle, the last thing Miguel wants is to also entangle a lovely stranger in a terrorist’s web. Yet while Maisy Oliver might look innocent, her father’s one of the most notorious men in Washington State. Miguel knows Maisy will do anything to help him and his team catch a killer. But does that include confronting a past she’s worked far too long to forget?

You can find out more about Trapping a Terrorist at https://www.caridad.com/books/suspense/trapping-a-terrorist/.

My hubby teases me that I often “bury the lede” which is true in this case. I like to think that I’ve left the best news for last, namely, that I’ve agreed to do another four — yes 4! — for Harlequin Intrigue. If you’ve read Cold Case Reopened and remember Jackson’s Miami cousins Sophie and Robbie Whitaker, you’ll see more of them in my Liberty Agency series! Yeah! So excited to be sharing this news with you.

Overcoming Imposter Syndrome

No matter the accolades that I might have, like Bestselling Author, Best Mom, etc., deep down inside I often feel like an imposter. We all feel like that sometimes. Imposter syndrome can be really negative and hurtful. So what can you do about it? Instead of focusing on those things that you feel you haven’t accomplished, how about congratulating yourself on what you have done! What do you think? Share some things that you’ve accomplished.

Caridad’s Grandmother Nieves #ThrowbackThursday

My grandmother Nieves was a strong woman. She had the courage to leave Spain for a better life in Cuba. She had even more courage to be the one to stay behind with us in Cuba when my parents had to escape to avoid Castro’s retribution. With my sister and me in tow, she traveled with us throughout Central America until we legally entered the U.S. Since my mom was a working mom, she was the one who took care of us when we weren’t in school and whatever my grandmother said, we did. She sounds tough, but she was also had great stories to tell and was an amazing cook. She was also a voracious reader which I guess is where I got to be such a big reader. I’m actually named after my grandmother since my real first name is Caridad de las Nieves. I had to change it when I became a citizen. I have to mention that my grandmother could not have done all those things without my grandfather who was truly a saint and a very loving and caring man.
