Hi Beth,
I met you at the Cypress Grill Book signing and immediately went home to read your book, To Say Goodbye. I was thrilled to see your historical comments about Cuba. It took me back to when as a child, I traveled with my family to Cuba and we were held captive (when Batista was organizing in the mountains) for a few weeks before our private airplane was returned to us and we were able to fly home (meeting the FBI at the Miami airport to fill them in on what was occurring)! Thank you for your intriguing book and the prompting of memories that I hope I’ll write about when I finally retire. If you’d like to meet for lunch sometime, that would be wonderful.
Warm Regards, Ginger
Hi, Ginger, very interesting! I’ll be in touch. Beth
Hi Beth! Looking forward to following your blog and learning more about your book. 🙂 -Val Fox http://www.valfoxwrites.com
Awesome site I,m finally on!…have started book and is amazing,intriguing,involving!
I’d love to see your book when it’s finished. Thank you for your kind response to my “Grace” post. So happy it inspired you. Best.
This is what I LOVE about the Challenge. I didn’t find your blog during April, but in the reflection, you found me, I have returned the favor, and look what I found….a fellow writer I am now following. Will look forward to getting better acquainted. Cheers!
Good luck on your new travels in the world of novels! Your home page seems very rich in dynamic, active living. You remind me of Harold Raley, whose first novel was Louisiana Rogue; published 2013. Since the 1980’s Raley has written his philosophy and has also translated works by Ortega y Gasset and by Julian Marias. Julian Marias was a story teller in the sense that he reported about his travels to different countries, making observations out of which grew his philosophical understandings and his lectures at universities world-wide. Raley has said that Marias was his mentor. Raley’s novel is a fantastic read, in fact I call it a hybrid novel because it is rich in fiction and in the same book provides a tapestry account of the Native Indian People in the USA.
Joseph: thanks for your comments. I am branching into the Native American historical novel, also. I will check out your suggestion.
Beth, after you have read Raley’s novel, all 299 pages, I would love to learn your analytical, literary thoughts about the book. I imagine that you may also be moved to write a review of this book, if you purchased it from Amazon.com. Amazon would protect the readers by posting “verified purchase” on the sales page at the top of the reviewed section. Otherwise, a large number of favorably biased reviewing would take place. I especially enjoyed the creative and unexpected twists and turns of the plot!
