If you listened to my first episode, you were introduced to my Romance Novel, Carla. If you haven’t listened to the first episode, I highly suggest you listen to the first episode. In the first episode, I’m reading chapter one. 

My purpose in sharing this novel with you is of course to entertain you but most important, it’s to inspire you to have more passion in your life. Carla will boost those passion chemical receptors in the brain. A life without passion is a boring life, I believe. Passion brings joy; passion fills the heart with love, passion gives life. 

As mentioned in the first episode, Carla is A True Story except when it’s not true. Carla is a romance novel, but it’s not an ordinary romance novel. It’s steaming with passion. And it’s based on a historical time period, the late 30’s early 40’s. 

The genre is Realistic Historical Romance Fiction.  This genre consists of stories that could have actually occurred to people in a believable setting. These stories resemble real life, and the fictional characters within these stories react similarly to real people. These stories fiction mirror life. The scenes are dramatized to create interest and entertain the reader.

The characters in my novel, Carla, are fictional based on my imagination and the many conversations with my mother, Alice Elias Arellano, and my aunt Estela Elias Garcia……  They were great storytellers. This book is dedicated to these two amazing women who taught me how to live and love. My mother and my aunt shared with me the good times of the 30’s and 40’s. 

This was the era of big bands, also known as the swing era. (music) Big band music traces back to early jazz music from New Orleans inspired by ragtime and blues. Other early jazz capitals included Chicago and Kansas City, but it was New York City that established jazz as a touchstone of American culture with Duke Allington, benny Goodman, Glen Miller, and Count Basie. My Uncle Harry Elias played in some of the Big Bands. My mom and dad won swing contests in their dating days. You will hear the passion in Carla when it comes to swing dancing.

That era was filled with good times, but that era also included the horrible sad times of WWII. This was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945….  It was a sunny Sunday morning when, on December 7, 1941, the Imperial Japanese Air Force launched planes from 6 Japanese aircraft carriers North of Oahu, Hawaii. Their primary goal was to destroy the US Fleet which was anchored and vulnerable at Pearl Harbor. In my novel, you will experience the deep sorry of a loved one that never came home from Pearl Harbor. 

Before we get into the chapter two, I’m going to highlight some main points made by my literary Reviewers:
