I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July. A lot of my friends and family don’t bother to go to a fireworks display; they see the same thing in their heads every day. Several of these same friends have suggested that I do some book signings in Cuba when The Cuban Affair comes out […]
First, thanks to the thousands of my readers who entered the contest to win a signed advance reading copy of The Cuban Affair.
