Wicked Wednesday – South Beach Sizzle

Lord and Taylors in NYC Oh the weather outside is frightful . . . Okay so maybe it isn’t so frightful yet, but the cold is definitely here in NYC . . . Well, at least for today. Yesterday felt like spring.

But despite the weather yo-yo, one look around New York City and you know it’s Christmas. Actually, it’s been Christmas since before Thanksgiving since everyone seemed in a rush to get up the holiday decorations. This is a shot of the front of the Lord & Taylor store on Fifth Avenue. During our annual Christmas in the City jaunt, this is one of our must stops to check out the windows. Continue reading “Wicked Wednesday – South Beach Sizzle”

Tuesday Tip – Surveys and a call for help!

For a number of years, Iâ€™ve done workshops on the state of Latino fiction and as I am going to be doing a number of talks on this topic in the coming year, I wanted to update some aspects of the discussion. It occurred to me that it might be good to broaden the fact-finding to include various kinds of multicultural fiction and not just Latino fiction.

Armed with that intent, Iâ€™ve developed a survey (click here to access the survey) as a way of allowing you to offer your opinions on the state of multicultural fiction today. As the survey is intended to reflect current publishing trends, I am asking only published authors or those with books that are to be released shortly, to offer their comments on the survey.

As this is my first attempt at a survey of this nature, I also beg your indulgence if itâ€™s lacking in any way.

Hereâ€™s a link to the page with the survey: https://www.caridad.com/state-of-multicultural-fiction/

Feel free to share this link with any other authors that you think might be interested in offering their opinion on this topic.

Thanks so much!

Guilty Pleasures Monday – Jorge Ramos

I wracked my brains this weekend thinking about who would be this Monday Guilty Pleasure and then it came to me!

Jorge Ramos who could quite easily slip into the role of Pablo Amenabar, Sylvia’s father from SOUTH BEACH CHICAS CATCH THEIR MAN. The light eyes and lean wiry body (although Pablo might be a little more muscular and not as grey!) Continue reading “Guilty Pleasures Monday – Jorge Ramos”

Silly Sunday – A tale of widgets and wonkiness

My friend Lois Winston and I spent Friday and Saturday driving to and from Rhode Island where we met the wonderful Rhode Island Romance Writers. It was a blast meeting these delightful women and talking with them about writing. We had lively discussions and great food. The only wonkiness to the whole event was the remnants of Hurricane Noel which hit us on the ride home. Even my low-slung Sebring convertible wobbled with the strong blasts of wind hitting the coast!
