So I just finished one book and am back at work on another book that’s very special to me because it includes a lot of real-life stories about my family and our escape from Cuba as well as what we’ve experienced in America, almost all good may I say. Part of that fictionalized story includes a relationship between a sexy Cuban-American and the heroine who is trying to learn more about her family. Is the book a romance? I’m not really sure it is because a big part of the story is about reconciling three generations of women who have drifted apart. But there is a strong romantic element. So my question is, Would you read a story like that? One that explored the emotions of the three women and had a secondary romantic element? I’d love to hear from you and don’t forget to check out this week’s giveaway at https://www.facebook.com/Caridad.Author/posts/10157196197695913.

#ThrowbackThursday – Happy Anniversary!
Since today is my wedding anniversary, it seems appropriate to share this photo from our wedding day. We snapped the photo in front of a building in a public park that I’d come to know from playing in an orchestra at that park when I was a teen. Hubby and I had always wanted a Rolls Royce as our limo and this was an awesome Rolls with a Hooper carriage. We also didn’t do the traditional tux and wedding dress as you can tell and actually had a small wedding. Only about 35 or so guests because my mom had passed less than a year earlier and we didn’t want a big celebration. Despite that, we had a wedding filled with happiness, family, and friends. I truly love how this photo came out!
#WriteWed – So happy to share this news!
I am so excited to share this news with you! I have accepted a contract to write two new books for Harlequin Intrigue and I’ve just finished writing the first one today! It was so exciting to write THE END on the first draft. COLD LIBERTY (tentative title) is the story of a young woman who won’t give up on finding out what really happened to her twin sister on the night she disappeared. Together with a detective who believes the case should be further investigated, they set out to discover the truth and find danger and love along the way high in the Colorado mountains. I hope you will enjoy this story when it comes out in March 2021!
#MatineeMonday and #ManCrushMonday – The Greatest Showman
I have to confess that I really really dilly-dallied about seeing The Greatest Showman motion picture which is weird since I really really love musicals. In fact when I played the bassoon in high school and college, one of my favorite things was to be in the pit orchestra for the student-performed musicals.
I finally relented and what can I say but that this movie features an amazing cast, including two of the most handsome and talented actors in Hollywood, namely Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron. They did an incredible job and the score is fantastic. I have to say that Efron’s duo with Zendaya, Rewrite the Stars, is now one of my favorite songs. So if you haven’t already seen the movie, it is available on various platforms. Do yourself a favor and watch it! You won’t be disappointed.
Hope you enjoyed today’s combo #MatineeMonday and #ManCrushMonday

#ThrowbackThursday – BEA 2014 and the Ellora’s Cavemen
I had the privilege of attending BookExpo America on a number of occasions. It was always so much fun to meet readers and to also walk around and see what the various publishing houses were offering. In 2014, I was even able to hang out with the Ellora’s Cavemen for a little bit. A tough job, but someone has to do it! LOL!
