  2. Thanks, Bonnee, for visiting. Like you I would love to spend a day in a Spa in Baden-Baden. So many beautiful places around the world to visit. In my next post, two months from now, we'll visit New York City where two of my novels take place.

    1. Can't wait :) These sort of posts really make me want to go to all of these places! I really admire that you do so much research into your settings, from famous landmarks to local bands, and then incorporate it with your characters and your story.
