After the conclusion of GBTA in Dallas, I met up with my friend Elizabeth, who recently moved to the city, as well as my sister, who was also visiting for a few days. I had decided to extend my trip by an extra day to do some more sightseeing as well as pay her a visit. As I had a flight early the next morning, we made sure to fit in as much as we could on my last day.
Elizabeth had to finish some of her work for the day, so my sister and I went to lunch at Las Palmas for some tacos and drinks, followed by a trip to go see The Eye, a giant eyeball sculpture, in the downtown area. 
We then made our way to the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza to learn more about the JFK assassination. Lunch was delicious, and the eyeball was exactly as it sounds, while the museum was fairly interesting to walk through, especially when they touched on the conspiracies as to who actually committed the crime.
Following the museum, we returned to the house where the three of us enjoyed some Dom Perignon by the pool, feeling as bougie as ever walking through the gardens with our Champagne! After our swim, we got ready for dinner at Carbone’s VINO, where we had the Spicy Rigatoni and Rock Shrimp Orecchiette to share.
As our last stop of the night, Elizabeth took us to one of her favorite spots, Katy Trail Ice House, for a drink and some laughs before heading home for the night. The next morning I had to get up early for my flight, but I was thankful to have one final day in Dallas and spend time with friends.

May 27, 2025Plan a Legendary Gathering in Honolulu
Myths and origin stories form a powerful framework for the history of Hawai‘i. Marking the horizon behind Honolulu, the ancient volcanic formation of Lē‘ahi — technically a volcanic tuff cone more commonly known to the world as Diamond Head — provides a constant physical reminder of the tales that shaped the history of this location. While researching legends for my Hawai‘i-based Dark Paradise Mysteries series (Kensington Books), I learned the tale of the demigod Maui, who used his enchanted fishing hook to reach into the sea to heave the Hawaiian islands, including Diamond Head, above the surface of the water.

The snow has melted, the sun is out and fans of the great outdoors gear up for summer camping. Historic Arapahoe Valley Ranch in Granby, Colorado, is a great destination choice.

May 23, 2025Relax, Rejuvenate and Heal at StolenTime
At the namesake luxury, 5-star all-inclusive resort in Saint Lucia, the concept of “stolen time” used to be reserved for couples escaping to canoodle, reconnect and perhaps rekindle in sumptuous accommodations during a romantic getaway on the lush Caribbean island. But when StolenTime by Rendezvous rebranded in late 2022 to welcome all adult guests and focus more on wellness, the philosophy expanded to encompass self-reflection, personal growth and enrichment. After all, time is our most precious commodity, one that’s finite and too quickly slips through our grasp; we need to find those moments that matter and make them count.
