Have you been to San Francisco? What about Napa Valley, or Muir Woods? If you haven’t, then I encourage you to pick up a copy of MEET ME IN SAN FRANCISCO.
It’s the second book in my Girls Weekend Away. The first book came out in July WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS, THE NASHVILLE BET comes out in December and we have to wait until Valentine’s Day next year for A MATCH MADE IN MONACO.
If you haven’t read the first book, don’t worry, because each book was written as a standalone with interconnecting characters. So you can read them in any order, although I would recommend reading the last book last.
I went to San Francisco in 1998, with my mom. And I must say I think I left my heart there. I fell in love with San Francisco, or the City as they call it, and never San Fran I was told. Mom and I did some wonderful sightseeing, including Muir Woods. I loved it so much I simply had to put it in the book. I hope I captured the essence of the place. Even if it was only a little bit of what it was like to walk through those majestic trees, it might give you a sense of being there. The scene on the trolley is taken from my trip with mom, and yes, it almost happened to her too! I visited again for another and different conference in 2010, I managed to walk through Chinatown and have lunch on the Wharf. I wish I’d had more time and one day hope to go back.
Without giving away too much of what happens in the book, there are a number of other places the hero takes the heroine to help her try and rediscover herself while deepening their relationship.
I don’t think this is a spoiler, but one thing I didn’t put in the book which I actually did experience in 1998, was an earthquake. A 5.4 magnitude. At 7:09 one morning, I heard the strangest rumbling and squeaky sound. It took me a few minutes to figure out what was going on and I yelled at my mom “we’re having an earthquake!”. She jumped out of the bed with the TV clicker so she could check the news. I will admit I was rather freaked out. I live just outside Toronto, so we are on the wrong tectonic plate for any significant earthquakes. Respect to you Californians that experience earthquakes as much as you do.
I put the links below for you, that will take you straight to MEET ME IN SAN FRANCISCO, and also to good reads as I would be very appreciative if you marked the book to be read or, if you have read the review would be very much appreciated.
I hope to see you on release day on social media. I will be posting, tweeting, and on Instagram.
