Brasserie Central

one day after a routine doctor appointment, I stopped at Merrick Park in coral Gables for lunch. I was going to grab coffee and a wrap but stumbled upon this French Brasserie. Although I was alone, I asked for a table (declining a seat at the bar). I had my books with me and snapped a few photos as per usual, but that’s when the idea for this blog came along. I wished I had other books with me to photograph. So naturally I returned with my sister and made up for it!

Live your life with balance but also make room for decadence.

Romance in Living Color

Romance in Living Color

In my debut novel, Exclusively Yours (March 2018), I adopted a mixed salad approach to diversity. My heroine, Leila, is Afro-Caribbean; Brie, her protégé is African- American; and Sofia, her best friend, is Latina. Leila’s love interest, Nicolas, is the child of Canadian snowbirds. I tossed it all in.
