2024 was quite a year. I published my first novel, "When Not If," about a Florida pioneer gal born during the storm that flattened Cortez, FL in 1921. I never dreamed 2024 would be the "when" we'd be flattened again. It was the year of my first evacuation, the year I lost all my trees but gained a view of the sunset, the year my old Florida house got her shiny new metal roof. 

I've never had more fun writing than with historial fiction about the area I've come to love as home. Old Florida has it all: scandal romance, tragedy and great seafood. Enjoy the read.
