While reading The Coin, I truly felt as if I were there because your descriptions are so vivid. After visiting your lovely blog and viewing your pictures, I can honestly say it feels like I'd ALREADY seen them! Nicely done!

So happy you enjoyed the "story behind the story." I hope that information, and the pictures, add an additional layer of depth to the action. It always made me enjoy the books I read more if I knew something about the setting and the background to the novels.Maria Elena Alonso-Sierrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01204377942260662631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077701164135803910.post-34662407468170798412013-05-17T20:58:48.456-04:002013-05-17T20:58:48.456-04:00I am so looking forward to reading The Coin, espec...I am so looking forward to reading The Coin, especially after seeing photos of the area and reading the 'story behind the story'.

It added complexity to the story, changing it from an average formulaic suspense/romance to a satisfying experience. May I say (without spoiling anything) I loooved Richard. Please when is the next novel being published. Hurry!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
