Thanks to everyone in Zihuatanejo who came to Café La Marina last week for my book signing. The good news is that I sold out of copies of "Paradise Girls" in thirty minutes. The bad news is that I didn't have more to sell. Fortunately, the book, which is set mostly in Zihuatanejo, is available as a ebook and in hard copy at Amazon. I also left a copy with Joe at La Marina and there are other copies floating around town. Thanks again and I hope to see all of you soon.

I read about your book and signing on this forum. We were in Zihua, but left the day before the signing. I bought the Kindle book right away. I started reading on the flight out. I could not put it down. I finished it in 3 days of travel. I was totally involved as I could personally picture every scene real or not. Everyone who travels to Zihuatanejo, you will love this mystery.

I've seen Casa Amarilla and really liked it. What's the availability next year about this time?

Congratulations on the book, you could now write a Trivia book where everyone has to guess where was Mangos, Trotuga etc etc... A lot of people must think they know the location but are not sure....

Hi Tom, looking forward to more! I bought our copy from KOBO for our e readers and we both enjoyed it very much. We know La Ropa very well, having spent 3 or 4 months here ever year since 2003. We had fun visualising the characters and locations, many of which we know well.

The only criticism we had was the proof reading and editing, possible the fault of the ebook publishers; a couple of typos and the direct substitution of miles per hour for kilometers per hour without converting the numbers. Anyone who has driven the 200 knows that not even in a Plymouth Fury could you drive from Zihuatanejo to Barra de Navidad at 80 MPH, the same goes for the drive from Acapulco in a rented Nissan.

Got it on my Kindle, and in 8 days...
...I'll begin reading it on Playa la Ropa!
