Thank you so much for having me, Kay! This is a great
subject for me because, like many people, I love to travel. It is one of the
greatest joys in life! My love of travel has made its way
into my books as well. My latest release “Lost on the Road to Love” takes place
on a travel show where the hero and heroine take their trek to love across the
globe in a heart-filled adventure.
The journey, however, begins in my favorite city in the U.S.
and the setting for the entire “I Want Morrison” series—San Francisco. I live
in Southern Nevada at the moment, and as it turns out my last few vacations
were spent in the City by Bay. So I thought I’d share some the better, and
lesser-known places we’ve visited recently.
First off, there is so much more to see than the Wharf.
Sure, everyone has to see it. But once you’ve done it, leave that part of the
city behind and go exploring. Near the shore but closer to downtown there’s
Coit Tower, the iconic Ferry building, which houses restaurants and shops and
often has a farmer’s market right out front, and the long stretch of the
Embarcadero. Turn inland and walk down Market street. Check out the venders,
and frequently, the entertainment found there. Follow that or take the
streetcar to Chinatown and the Civic Center area. See the amazing city hall,
symphony hall, and opera house. Don’t forget all the great museums including
the Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of the African Diaspora, and the
Contemporary Jewish Museum. Deeper still into the heart of the city is Golden
Gate Park. This gorgeous stretch of nature and peace features yet more
incredible museums as well as the Conservatory of Flowers and the Botanical
Gardens.
Add to the cultural wonders San Francisco has to offer
amazing food, great shopping, and public transportation that can take you
anywhere you want to go, and you have one incredible trip.
If you think I’m in love with the city that Karl the Fog
likes to eat up each morning, you’re right. And my books serve as a love story
to the city itself. Because what better way to revisit your travels than to
write about them, right?

Excerpt:
I
rested my hand on my hip. “Are you saying you find me
irresistibly attractive?”
“Yes.” He gave a firm nod. There was no mirth in his eyes or in the set
of his mouth.
I narrowed my gaze and scrutinized him. “I thought it was because we’re
so close, remember.”
“Yes. And you’re insanely hot.”
“Am not!”
“Are too!”
I shook my head.
“Wanna make a bet on it?” he challenged.
“What?”
“You get naked for me. And if I am disappointed, you win the bet. If
you’re as hot as I think you are under those clothes, I win. In fact, I already
know what I want if I win. I want to see one of the films you’ve made.”
I stared at him, my mouth agape.
“What do you want if you win, Chels? Not that it matters. Because you
won’t win.”
I finally found my voice. Because I couldn’t turn down this opportunity.
“If I win, you sing for me.”
“Done.” He settled farther into the couch. “I’m ready when you are.”

ReplyDeleteSan Francisco is such a great travel destination!
ReplyDeleteHi Kay,
ReplyDeleteThanks for this post. I love San Francisco. It's been years since I've been there. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Great post, Kay! I grew up near the "City by the Bay" and try to visit often. Loved the blurb and excerpt. Wishing you all the best!
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures! Best on your book! It sounds great.
ReplyDeleteShared! What about Ghirardelli Square? Or Lombard Street (which we made my sister drive squealing all the way)?
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed reading your post. I've been to San Francisco twice and loved it both times. Also enjoyed your excerpt. Sounds like a fun book. Best of luck!
