LallaGatta Comment on New Release! Christmas Deadline by Laura Tolomei: In reply to Ed Hoornaert. Yep, you're right. That volcanic eruption took place in 1902 and wiped Saint Pierre, which was the capital back then. The only 2 survivors were a shoemaker and a convict who was sitting in jail. This was another pitfall I had to avoid when setting my story because I couldn't see any good effects of this tragedy on a love triangle. As for wanting to visit Martinique, the fact that a volcano struck 119 years ago doesn't affect me all that much. Maybe being Italian and living next to 3 of the largest and still active volcanoes of the world has something to do with it. Rome is only about 3 hours distance from Pompei, and that's a tragedy everybody remembers despite having happened almost 2000 years ago. I'm so not afraid I went atop Stromvoli and Etna gust to get the feel what it was like. Imagine that! Thanks for sharing, Ed! @LallaGatta #LauraTolomei #LallaGatta #Historical VirtusSaga
