Puerto Rico and Giving Back

This really is just an announcement regarding our books. We feature cultural travel all around the world, including Puerto Rico.

Our family ventured to Puerto Rico in July and we had a wonderful time. We fell in love with the place and are very pleased to be in a place to help.

All of our October book earnings will go to hurricane relief. Our books are available on Amazon.

Chris’s Quotes

“This is the gift of your species and this is the danger, because you do not choose to control your imaginings. You imagine wonderful things and you imagine terrible things, and you take no responsibility for the choice. You say you have inside you both the power of good and the power of evil, the angel and the devil, but in truth you have just one thing inside you - the ability to imagine.”
― Michael Crichton, Sphere
