Guilty Pleasure Monday – Buster Crabbe | Paranormal Romance and Romantic Suspense Author Caridad Pineiro

This weekend I deconstructed the Star Trek movie with my buddies at the Liberty States Fiction Writers. A fun time was had by all as we watched the new version and discussed the various series with which some of us had grown up. Feeling nostalgic, it made me recollect my earliest sci fi series – Flash Gordon as portrayed by Buster Crabbe.

Every time you turn around you’re hearing about “your credit score” and what a poor credit score can do to you.

Customer Service Reigns at Southwest Airlines | Paranormal Romance and Romantic Suspense Author Caridad Pineiro

Thanks to both of my jobs and my family’s love of travel, I often have to fly to get to an assortment of destinations. You can imagine that in all that time I’ve faced a number of dilemmas. Cancelled flights. Lost luggage. Turbulent rides. The latter being one of the worst since I have a fear of heights and am not a comfortable passenger in those twenty-five thousand foot high roller coasters.

Guilty Pleasure Freddie Prinze Jr. | Paranormal Romance and Romantic Suspense Author Caridad Pineiro

There is a boy-next-door dimpled cuteness to Freddie that is so hard to resist! My favorite movie of his is SHE'S ALL THAT with Rachel Leigh Cook (who also did some time on PSYCH as Shawn Spencer's girlfriend). Yes, I know it's that silly Cinderella girl-takes-off-the-glasses-and-becomes-hot story, but sometimes you just need to believe in the fairy tale!
