ships that ran out of New York into the Caribbean and down the

West Coast of South America. More recently, he spent a decade

researching the project and more than that in drafting this book and

the other books of the Christmas Chronicles. The writing was done

mainly in Jalapa, the Capital of Veracruz State in Mexico. At an

altitude of l0,000 feet, it lacked beaches and tourists, but it was

heavy on coffee houses and the writer’s blessing of isolation.
