TRAVEL STIMULATES THE IMAGINATION!

Enjoying Starbucks coffee in Barnes & Noble
(imagining my books lining the shelves!)

Happy New Year! Erskine and I just got back from spending a week in Florida over Christmas. It was really hectic! We wanted to shop for items that we either can’t get here in Nassau or are much cheaper over there! However, we know now that Christmas is not the best time for that. Crowds of people all had the same idea! We had a great time though!

I say in my writer’s guide “How to Be the Best Writer Ever!”: “I write like crazy when I take a trip off the island, as there are always so many new sights and experiences. I also pick up lots of brochures and flyers to refer to later.” Unfortunately I must confess that I didn’t do any of this, as we were on the go the whole time! However, I did get ideas for some new short stories. There’s nothing like travelling to stimulate the imagination!

SEASON'S GREETINGS!

This is a photo from the mid nineties when Erskine and I managed The Islands Club, oceanfront condominiums opposite Quality Food Store, Cable Beach, and next to what became the luxury Bayroc condominiums. We lived in a lovely little cottage on the grounds and this was the gorgeous beach where The Islands Club was situated.

Most of the residents back then were “snow birds”, who flew down to The Bahamas in the winter to escape the freezing cold weather in the north. Usually there were no owners in residence during the summer.

I hope you are enjoying this special time of the year wherever you are. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joyeux Noël, Feliz Navidad….! May your holiday season and the New Year be filled with much joy, happiness and success.

CHRISTMAS DONE COMIN'

CHRISTMAS DONE COMIN'

by Fay Knowles

Christmas done comin'
Junkanooers in da shacks
Please give a dollar for
Salvation Army good acts

If you ain't gat a dollar
A quarter will do
If you ain't gat a quarter
Then God bless you!

(Just a little ditty I once wrote! Salvation Army members and supporters are out and about in Nassau collecting money in their kettles to help the poor. And Junkanoo groups are in the shacks feverishly creating stunning costumes and floats for the Christmas and New Year Junkanoo parades!)

LOVE AT SUNSET: A ROMANTIC SUSPENSE

Facing imminent danger and fierce opposition to love a second time around, Violet and Gordon seek a new life in Scotland, thousands of miles away from The Bahamas, but trouble soon catches up with them. The couple finds themselves in and out of one adventure after another!

In the meantime, an unscrupulous attorney appears on the scene, along with a crooked realtor. What they do and the extent they would go to leads to a shocking ending. Greed, jealousy, family secrets and bitter grudges worm their way throughout this story!
