Almost everyone guessed I was in the Bahamas last Monday, Nassau, actually. And the above photo was the site of the Nambutu Embassy in Casino Royale, the James Bond movie I referenced. (Can you believe I forgot to take a photo of the exterior???) I learned this on a really interesting tour of Nassau and Paradise Island in the Bahamas. What follows are a few photos I took while on a working cruise last week.
Working because I met with editors and a movie producer to pitch my books. We’ll see what God has in store. 🙂
Now for the photos, then the Mystery Question!
This was taken leaving Miami.
This–I’m not sure what to call it–but it was in the middle of the ship and beautiful.
Found this Baptist Church while in downtown Nassau. 
This bronze sculpture was in front of a resort. While we couldn’t go in, we could take photos and this and the condos were a couple I took. On Wednesday we toured the Mayan ruins, and that was fascinating. I’ll show more photos of the ruins in another blog.
At the Mayan Ruins where this little fellow met us.
Western side of Cozumel
Like the captions says, this is taken on the western side of Cozumel. It was very windy and beautiful. The seas are just that emerald color.
And this was a sunset taken from the dining room late one afternoon. There were some beautiful sunrises and sunsets over the ocean.
Now here is the Mystery Question of the Week. But first February’s Winner is: Anne Rightler. I’ll send you a copy of Justice Delayed.
After forty-two years, the deaths of two women were solved. Which is the correct scenario?
- A jailhouse snitch provided a recording of a confession by one of the inmates, detailing the crime.
- A man could no longer live with the crime after he was diagnosed with cancer and confessed.
- When the water level of a nearby creek dropped their vehicle was found with the two women inside. Not a murder after all.
- A police detective took up the cold case and when he dug deep into the case, he discovered the ex-husband of one of the women had stolen his ex-wife’s credit card and used it after she disappeared. When confronted with the evidence, he confessed.
So Mystery Sleuths, which one is it? This month I’m giving away an adult coloring book and coloring pencils to someone who leaves a comment.
Any Tweets would be greatly appreciated!

So happy for you that you had a chance to get away… and wow, possibly a movie deal!!! Justice delayed has arrived and I’m looking forward to reading it.

So glad you stopped by, Elaine. I hope you enjoy Justice Delayed! And the movie deal would be wonderful, but slim chance, probably. But it was fun pitching.
I’m guessing the two women drowned in the car and were discovered when the creek level dropped. Some of those pictures were upside down and hard to see when my iPad keeps trying to “right ” them!
Author
Paula, have no idea what the photos are doing. 🙂 Hope they right themselves.
I say #3, not a murder.
Author
We’ll see, Delores, we’ll see.
#3 Thanks for sharing the pictures from your cruise. Beautiful! Praying for God’s favor on your movie pitch and talking with editors!
Author
Thanks, Sally. It looks like a lot of readers like #3. 🙂
I just found your blog! I hope to read it often as well as your books. I am an avid reader, but somehow have missed yours…..correcting that at once.
Author
Hi, Jackie, so glad to have you join us. I hope you enjoy the books!
#2 So thankful you had a great time on your trip to the Bahamas!!
Author
Hi, Lisa! I did have a great time. It is beautiful in the Islands as well as in Cozumel. But I’m glad to be home!
Patricia, I had the same problem with the pictures on my iPad that someone else mentioned. They look great on my laptop. Concerning the mystery case, I am going with #2. As is often the case, it could easily be any of the others but the car in the creek seems far-fetched. That creek would have to be more like a river to cover a car for 42 years. Since it’s so unbelievable, that will probably be the answer. 🙂
Author
Edward, I have no clue why the photos are showing up that way on the iPad. Those things can really be wonky. 🙂 And we’ll see what the answer is next week!
I’ll go with #3. I think I might’ve missed last week’s question somehow. I’ll have to go back and look. Glad you had a fun trip! The pictures are beautiful. How exciting to pitch your work to movie producers! Hope it went well!
Author
It really was exciting to pitch to the movie producer, Jerusha. I know it’s a longshot, but if it’s what God wants, then… 🙂
Pat, I’m so glad you had a wonderful trip! Congrats Anne on winning a copy of Justice Delayed. I’m guessing #3.
Author
Hi Caryl, Another one for #3. Hmmm. We’ll see. 🙂
I’m going with #3 this week, it wasn’t a murder after all! I love all your beautiful pictures of your visit to the Bahamas Patrica! Especially the Pegasus fountain 🙂 Looks like a warm, sunny place to escape the cold of winter!
Thanks for the chance to win a coloring book/pencils, I’ve not gotten into the whole adult coloring phase…but I know I loved to color as a kid 🙂

Hi Trixi! So glad you enjoyed my picture of the Pegasus fountain! One of the suites in that resort cost $25,000 a night. Yep. You read right. Can you believe it?
$25,000??? Well, I know where I WON’T be staying…wow!! But it’s the Bahamas so I can see where they could charge that for a nice suite 🙂
