Wonderful Book Launch Party

Last night I went to a wonderful book launch party held by one of my local friends, Diane Crecca, to celebrate the release of her debut novel, THE NOSE KNOWS. It’s a cozy mystery set on the Jersey Shore about a woman whose unique and powerful sense of smell helps her solve crimes. If there’s anyone who knows about the power of smell, it’s Diane, who is a professional nose. Yes, you read that right. Diane has worked for many years with an assortment of companies to create and test fragrances because of her amazing sense of smell. Makes her the perfect person to write a book like THE NOSE KNOWS. I’m sharing some photos from last night’s fun event! If you love cozy mysteries with a unique heroine, grab your copy today of this and Diane’s companion cocktail recipe book at https://amzn.to/4sDHOxn.

Happy Visit to Authors Rocking Little Rock 2026

My daughter and I are always looking for book signings in different places because we love meeting new people and seeing other parts of the country. I also have a goal to visit every state, and now have just 11 to go! My daughter wants to do a book signing in every state, so if you have any fun events near you, we’d love to hear about them! These are book signing photos from Authors Rocking Little Rock. We had a lovely time, and it was interesting to see new parts of the country. The mountains were lovely, and so were the cities of Knoxville and Little Rock. We’re definitely thinking about more events in this part of the country! P.S. I had print books of my Marauders Baseball Romance Box set at the event, and I will have them at future book signings. If you’d like to find out where my daughter and I will be in the future, please visit https://www.caridad.com/meet-me/events/. You can get the box set and several of my other books for FREE on Kindle Unlimited. Grab your copies at https://amzn.to/4ukO4Lv.

First Trip to Arkansas

We’re on a road trip to Arkansas for the Authors Rocking Little Rock book event. It’s our first time in Arkansas, and we’ve passed some beautiful areas during our road trip. Our first stop was halfway in Knoxville, TN, after a ten-hour drive from NJ. We had dinner at Barrelhouse BBQ, and it was delicious! The brisket was amazingly tender and tasty. The next morning, we were up bright and early and driving through the mountains to finally reach Little Rock. Along the way, we saw some beautiful mountain scenery and discovered that part of Tennessee was in EDT, while the other was in CDT. Weird, right? Imagine working in one time zone, but living in another! Anyway, when we reached Little Rock, we unloaded, had a little rest, and then went out to dinner. I had seen a restaurant on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, and we went to Downtown Little Rock to eat at Bruno’s Little Italy. “Italian in Little Rock?” you might say. The food and ambiance were delicious. When we got back to the hotel, we set up our tables for today’s book signing. If you’re in the Little Rock area, I hope you can come to the Embassy Suites Hotel for the event. General Admission starts at noon! I’ll have my new Marauders Baseball Romance there. So exciting! P.S. You can read the Marauders baseball romances as well as several others for FREE for you on Kindle Unlimited. Grab your copies of my KU books at https://amzn.to/4ukO4Lv.

Philly Flower Show 2026

Happy birthday to me! One of the ways I celebrate is to go to the Philly Flower Show with my sister! We went yesterday, and we had a lovely time. They’ve expanded the show onto one entire floor, and there were many floral displays, although I miss the HUGE garden displays they used to have. I hope that they’ll maybe bring them back, but the show was definitely improved from the year before. They also had all the vendors on the second floor, which was new. We did some fun shopping before hitting the Reading Terminal Market to get some sticky buns and Bassett’s ice cream! I hope you enjoy the photos!

Baby Cari and My Grandmother

We had to leave many things behind in Cuba when we escaped Castro’s communist regime, so I don’t have many photos from my early life. That makes the few photos that I have even more precious. This photo is of my grandmother and me. She was an amazing woman! After my parents had to flee to avoid being put in jail, my grandparents watched my sister and me in Cuba, and then took us all around Central America and Mexico until we could enter the U.S. legally. After, she took care of us since my mom had to work to support our family. She was a rock in my world, and I miss her to this day.
