I have done a total rewrite of my first novel, San Juan Sunrise, for republication late this summer. I am doing this since I have written a sequel, Sunset in Paris, which should be out early next year. But right now, I need some folks to do a review of San Juan Sunrise for the back cover. So, if anyone out there wants to do a fun read and do a review to be on the back cover, I will send you a pdf. I will need the reviews sooner than later as I’m looking for publication late summer. So give me a shout if interested or with any questions.
Some more of my fascination with cloud images
The Center of the World, Felicity, CA
Just west of the Arizona/California state line and off of Interstate 8 is the unincorporated town of Felicity. The following is from Wikpedia:
Felicity is an unincorporated community in Imperial County, California.[1][2] The town was established in 1986 by Jacques-Andre Istel who bought the land in the 1950s and developed it in the 1980s after selling off his parachute business. The town is “Dedicated to Remembrance” and named for Istel’s wife Felicia.[3] It is 2,600 acres and lies at an elevation of 285 feet (87 m).[1]
The Quechan Tribe of the Fort Yuma Indian Reservation is located nearby. During World War II, the town was the site of Camp Pilot Knob, the US Army’s training center.[5]
The town’s key features are a 21-foot-tall stone-and-glass pyramid (6.4 m), a church on a man-made hill, and the Museum of History in Granite, which Istel has been developing since the town’s founding. The museum consists of dozens of granite panels, most of them over 100 feet long and weighing approximately 500 tons. Etched on the panels is a historical record of humanity as chronicled by Istel. The lead artist on the project is Gene Britton.[3]
In May 1985, the Imperial County Board of Supervisors designated Felicity as the Official Center of the World.[2][4]
This is the second time I visited there. It is surreal to say the least.
