Bonus S: SEISMIC CRIMES
BLURB:
An Internal Affairs Investigator was murdered and his brother, Donovan Goldwyn, was framed. Now Donovan is desperate to prove his innocence. And the one person who can do that is the woman who saved him from a deadly hurricane—Beth Kennedy. From the moment their fates intertwined, passion consumed him. He wants her in his arms. More, he wants her by his side in his darkest moments.
Beth Kennedy may not know everything about Donovan, but she can’t deny what she feels for him. It’s her love for him that pushes her to do whatever she has to do to help him get justice, including putting herself in a criminal’s crosshairs.
When a tip reveals the killer’s location, they travel to California, but then an earthquake of catastrophic proportions separates them. As aftershocks roll the land, Beth and Donovan have to endure dangerous conditions while trying to find their way back to one another. Will they reunite and find the killer, or will they lose everything?

This year I traveled to Cuba. You know, it’s that little island that’s spitting distance from Florida and should not be visited without special dispensation. I wanted to see it before MacDonald’s arrived. I’m so glad I did. I learned a lot and I met some wonderful people. It seems they like us. Now there’s a change!
I’ll add a short T/F quiz to each post the same as I did last year about Burma, and I’ll post the answers to the questions the following day.
Naked lady with a fork and riding a chicken. Yep. |
My picture didn’t turn out. Here’s the SOURCE for this one so much like it. |

Hi Lee – loved the notes on the Squares – as with all things their times have changed.
Good luck to Chrys for her book Seismic Crimes – looks good …
Joylene Nowell Butler says
Congratulations, Chrys! Lovely photos, Lee. It would be wonderful to have a room overlooking the plaza.

Blog hopping from North Carolina during the #Challenge. I started WAY down the participant list figuring they wouldn't get as much traffic. Always happy to find blogs where I can learn something. Your photos of Cuba timely with what Obama has done, which makes me crazy. Happier seeing it through your eyes. Thanks. I have been writing about hotels and inns, come and have TEA on the letter T day if you have time or interest.
Chrys Fey says
Thank you all for your lovely comments! 😀
Michelle Wallace says
Congratulations to Chrys!
That book Market looks amazing…hope you bought loads of books, Lee!
Naked lady with a fork and riding a chicken? A Lady Godiva impersonation of sorts…perhaps? LOL

Yay for Chrys's book!

Beautiful! I don't know if Cuba did executions, but so many squares around the world were used for those *shudder*
Patricia Lynne says
Congrats Chrys!
I'd love to visit a square that dated back to the 1500s. I love old things and seeing them.

Congrats to Chrys!
Hey, I'm getting better at these quizzes maybe there's hope for me yet? LOL
I fear the squares were used for executions. How sad, but so glad to see they now foster culture!
Sarah Foster says
Love your photos! I would love to check out the Book Market.
Congrats to Chrys!

Thanks for sharing Seismic Crimes. Love your Cuba photos. That Book Market sounds great.

I love squares and places that cater to pedestrians and not cars. Havana's look very beautiful, especially that huge bougainvillea bush! Best thing my town did was close off about a mile of street and pave it all so tourists can walk at their leisure between all the hotels and stores. It's called The Memsha (literally, The Walk) and I stroll there every week. 🙂
Ryan Carty says
Stunning photographs. I am envious of your experience and hope to find myself in this square at some point. When that happens, I will recall these photos.

I wish Chrys good luck with her new book.
I so enjoyed yet another insight of Cuba via your writing and pictures.
Ps what did your comment mean on my post today?

Pat Garcia says
On this one I have no idea, but am tempted to say yes to the both of them and would say they are true.
I need to check that one with the Bay of Pigs again. I definitely thought it had to deal with the Missle crisis between JFK and Nikita Khrushchev.

Havana is still on my wishlist… and time is running out before it becomes irrevocably changed. Lovely photographs!

Gorgeous pictures! True to both of them.

The pictures look lovely and I'd love to be sitting in the square right now with a cool drink and a copy of Seismic Crimes 🙂

Squares are always so beautiful and interesting. Our equivalent here in new England is "commons" but we have a few squares, too.

They're beautiful.

Congrats Chrys.
Would sure be quiet the market to stroll through. #1 I imagine to be true.

Best wishes to Chry and Seismic Crimes! The squares are so beautiful, Lee. A seismic disaster that destroyed that architecture would be a true crime.

You had me at Book Market 😀 😀 I could spend time there… All those squares look awesome!

Thank you everyone! Your support is heartwarming. 🙂
Chrys Fey says
Thank you so much for adding my promo, C Lee! And for putting it at the top too! That was mighty generous. 😛 That naked lady statue is interesting. I wonder why she has a fork…or why she's riding a chicken. Hmm…
M.J. Fifield says
Congrats to Chrys!!
The Book Market definitely sounds like a place I would LOVE to visit.
Bish Denham says
A toast to Chrys! Congratulations. The plazas/squares are so traditional in older cities; places for governments to make announcements, places buy and sell, places to execute. I'm going with true for both questions.
Beverly Stowe McClure says
Lovely architecture. I never realized how much there is to see in Cuba.
Chrys' book looks fantastic. My post is going up soon.
Mason Canyon says
Congrats to Chrys. The book sounds intriguing. I gotta ask what's the story behind the chicken statue?
sage says
If like Savannah, the squares were also a gathering point for firefighting… Chrys has a nice cover. I hope her book sells and becomes a hit.
Cathrina Constantine says
Congrats to Chrys!!! Love the pictures of the squares in Cuba, Lee.

Best wishes to Chry and Seismic Crimes! The cover looks professionally made.
I’m exploring different types of dreams and their meanings.

That's because it was professionally made through my publisher. 😉 Thanks! 😀

I imagine the squares were originally used for executions.
Did you buy a lot of books from the vendor?

And congrats to Chrys! Love that cover.
