Guest Post by Tina Martin, author of Secrets on Lake Drive

Today, we have guest blogger, Tina Martin, sharing her novel, Secrets On Lake Drive.

What is Secrets On Lake Drive about? Secrets On Lake Drive is the page-turning story of Monica Smith and Sean Beauvais - two people who are seemingly rivals but they may be just what the other needs to have a happy, meaningful and successful life. It's a novel based on the secrets each person carries, and in the end, those secrets may hold them together or drive them further apart, forever. 

Sean Beauvais' lifestyle is influenced by Haitian culture - the music, art and food. He shares a Haitian drink with the woman of his affection. When I was researching for the novel, I wanted to find a drink that sounded absolutely delicious and I came across one called Haitian Kremas. Want to give it a try? Here are the ingredients:

1/2 gallon of milk

2 cans of evaporated milk

4 cans of sweetened condensed milk

1 can of cream of coconut

1 tsp of vanilla extract

1 tsp almond extract

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp grated nutmeg

1 lime, zest and juice

1/5 80 proof rum

Directions:

1. Boil the milk with the cinnamon and let it cool.

2. Add the cream of coconut.

3. Add the nutmeg, almond extract and lime juice and zest.

4. Add the evaporated and condensed milk.

5. Add the vanilla extract and rum.

Doesn't it just sound yummy! Now go grab a glass, pour yourself a drink and curl up to Secrets On Lake Drive, available in paperback, Kindle and Nook.
