Chapter 9 Part III

Patrick looked around at the terrazzo floor, the ornate mirrors, a small marble fireplace and fresh lavender flowers on the dresser and in the bathroom. The bathroom was huge. This is bigger than the room Joe Jr. and I slept in the whole time we were growing up he thought. Unsure of how long he would stay he took only a few clothing articles out of his suitcase. Carmella and Stefano had both assured him he was welcome for an extended stay, but he was not accustomed to such hospitality and generosity and wasn’t sure how to react.

I have a book signing tonight at Paragraphs on Padre, here on the island. This will be my second at this location, but the first for Promises Kept. As always, I’m looking forward to it, but worried about how many will attend and how it will go. [Read more…] about My Perfect Book Signing

Chapter 9 Part II

Cindy Bradford
“Let’s go Patrico; it will be your own Roman Holiday, just a few hours away.”

Those who knew Patrick would never have believed he was going home, with an almost stranger. Patrick could not believe it himself, but in a way it seemed like he had known her for years.

“Oh, I almost forgot. Come with me to the phone. I must call Stefano!”

Standing off to one side of the pay phone, Patrick heard her say “Buon giorno, Carmen,” although he didn’t understand any of the conversation after ‘Good Morning.” For a moment he was lost in thought, watching a swarm of people pulling luggage, boarding buses, hailing cabs and hugging loved ones. Suddenly Carmella’s voice brought him back as he took a long step to catch up with her and open her door. [Read more…] about Keeping Faith Chapter 9 Part II

July 19, 2010 By cindy

Every so often I get an email from someone who really makes my day, and that happened to me on Saturday. A friend of mine from my University of Texas at Brownsville professor days who now lives in Tennessee has been so kind to read both books and comment on them.

Two days after graduation, Patrick boarded the plane. When he took his seat he found himself next to an attractive well-dressed, middle aged woman, with upswept black hair, who immediately introduced herself and began talking. [Read more…] about Keeping Faith Chapter 9 Part I

Entertaining Family

July 14, 2010 By cindy

Summer Time and the living is easy—–and HOT. Having a good week. I have family visiting, and of course, we are doing all the local stuff, i.e. Mexico shopping, eating lots of seafood, swimming, beaching, and catching up on the prior year’s events.

We went to Nuevo Progresso yesterday, and shopped ‘til we dropped, but had plenty of guacamole and margaritas to sustain us. Today, it was a ride on the beach, and shopping on the island, along with swimming, and just hanging out.

Next week, I’ll get back to working on book 3. It has all come together now, and before long I’ll share a little with you. In the meantime, enjoy your summer, and stay cool!
