Happy Summer! Previously, I posted photos from my vacation in Washington state and British Columbia. Here is a video, which also includes some views of my Amtrak train ride through Oregon. You may watch it here: https://youtu.be/oQ720R7f2XQ.

In addition, thank you for purchasing my novel, THE TWO SISTERS! If you have not bought THE TWO SISTERS yet, you can order it here: https://a.co/d/0dYL0Jrj. It is a story for those of you who enjoy crime, drama, and mystery.

My next novel is a suspense story titled, AFRAID FOR YOUR LIFE. It will be available later this year.

Vancouver, BC

A favorite place to visit in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada is Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden. It is a peaceful location in the middle of a busy city. The population of Vancouver has grown a lot since my last visit 12 years ago, so the classical Chinese garden offers a restful break. (Stanley Park is also a good option.)

The city of Surrey is about 21 miles (35 kilometers) south of Vancouver. It is part of the metro Vancouver area. Arts and culture are embraced in Surrey. The architectural design of several businesses and houses is contemporary. The exterior of the City of Surrey building is San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital on the television series The Good Doctor. (Some scenes have been filmed inside the building.)

West Vancouver is a beautiful city located about five miles (eight kilometers) northwest of Vancouver. It is an affluent community and Lighthouse Park has attractive walking trails.

Horseshoe Bay is located in West Vancouver. There are restaurants, a marina, and a BC Ferry terminal. It is also residential.
