In the summer of 2021 amidst a world-wide pandemic, Donna Fletcher Crow, her daughter-in-law, and granddaughter managed to slip through a narrow window of calm for a remarkable journey to France and Switzerland. And much to Donna's surprise and delight, she was accompanied on the undertaking by characters from several of her novel series—who had adventures of their own.

'Going There, Tales from the Riviera and Beyond', is an account of a memorable travel experience in the real world and the fictional. It takes the reader to places physical and imaginary, and like all good books, expands our universe.

Crow said in a recent interview, "I had no idea a book would result when I set out for what promised to be a unique three-generational family time. A few days into our schedule, though, and I began to realize what an amazing adventure it was to be having such a marvelous experience in the midst of a worldwide pandemic.

"Then I started noticing fellow tourists doing things that could be given a sinister interpretation, and secluded spots that seemed like an excellent place to hide a dark secret… The whole project just grew from there.

"It has been an absolute delight to invite my readers and the characters from so many of my novels along with me on this exciting expedition."

A special full-color hardback gift edition is available as well as Black-and-White paperback and full-color Kindle, all at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B000APWGI4?ingress=0&visitId=16b9bf50-d947-4aff-a708-96f0ba85385c&ref_=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1.
