Spring Ahead and Lose Some Sleep

It’s that time of year when we spring ahead from falling back in fall. I hate losing that hour of sleep but I so love having that “extra” sunlight at the end of the day. It makes me want to do so much more. So does the warmer weather. I live for being out in the yard planting my flower and vegetable plants or harvesting sun-warmed tomatoes when they’re ripe. There’s nothing like the taste of a Jersey tomato fresh from the garden. What about you? Do you think losing the extra hour of sleep is worth that hour of light later in the day? P.S. – The sunset is Miami is later than the sunset in New Jersey because of the tilt of the Earth and its proximity to the sun! I guess that gives South Beach Security more daylight for solving crimes like those in Brickell Avenue Ambush where the secrets of a dangerous ex-husband could risk the lives of dozens.

Shoutout to Terry for Her Review of The Prince’s Gamble

Today’s Saturday Shoutout is to Terry, an Amazon Reviewer, for her review of The Prince’s Gamble! Thank you for this awesome review, Terry.

“THE PRINCE’S GAMBLE by Caridad Pineiro is an exciting romantic suspense. A quick read full of passion and love. With a Russian Prince, the FBI, Russian mafia, money laundering, white slavery, prostitution, an Atlantic City casino, romance and love how can you go wrong. Follow, Special Agent Kathleen Martinez and Prince Alexander Ivanov on a fast paced, action packed adventure and danger.”

This book is special to me as we had just finished the final edits of the book when Hurricane Sandy hit the Jersey Shore. Since many of the scenes in the book are set in Atlantic City, we went back to work and added the effects of the storm to the book. I also contributed part of the royalties to a Hurricane Sandy fund to help my fellow New Jerseyans. I hope you’ll take a moment to check out the book at https://amzn.to/3TYPhbE.

Shoutout to Hope Tarr

My friend Hope Tarr has a new release and I wanted to share it with you! Hope is a fabulous romance author but she’s starting a new series of historical fiction set in New York City during the early 1900s. Here’s a teaser for Irish Eyes, Hope’s new release!

In the aftermath of America’s war with Spain, Rose leaves her beloved Arans and boards a steamer for New York City. Herded through the emigrant landing depot at The Battery, abandoned and alone, she soon discovers that the New York streets are no more paved in gold than those of Galway. To survive, she must ford her way through Lower East Side tenements and sweatshops, Fifth Avenue mansions and tony hotels – tangling with Tammany Hall for the soul of the man with whom her fate is inextricably linked while fighting her feelings for the first love who still holds her heart. Just as she begins to make peace with the past, the Great War erupts in Europe, threatening to topple the dynasty for which she has sacrificed so much.
