Hello,
everyone. As you've discerned from my tweets, I've been fully immersed
in finishing my sequel to my first novel, Castilian Heat, now called
Castilian Heat 2 - A New Beginning. I won't give the storyline away, of
course, but suffice to say, Sheila, my heroine, continues to mush on
courageously in the face of grief, and has a new baby to boot. I'm
excited because a lot of the book takes place in Barcelona this time,
which is where I spent some time last year doing research.
I shall have Castilian Heat 3 finished sooner than expected as well this
year before moving on to a different series. While not writing, I went
to see the second Hunger Games movie (the book was written by the
marvelous Suzanne Collins) and was thoroughly enthralled ... yet
heartbroken, too, of late, with the untimely passing of Philip Seymour
Hoffman, who had one of the lead roles in the film. He was marvelous as
always. A great tragedy how he died and it forever exemplifies to us all
that drugs are a very bad thing indeed.
And with that, I am going to take a break and go see the film, Pompeii,
which is supposed to be a good love story in addition to a gala
spectacular tent-pole film filled with special effects, pyroclastic
clouds and lots of lava!
Stay well, my beloved readers. Monica
