This is Junior. I moved to Florida in 1980 and I have been missing the mountains ever since. I love pets. Born in Vt., want to move to NC. in the mountains. I love to see the change of seasons, which I miss here in Florida. When I was younger I loved to ride horses, I thought Id die if I didn't have one. I lived anyways. We moved a lot when I was a kid from Canada to Florida I met all kinds of people. The more rural, the more friendly people are. I am married. I have a beautiful secret garden, with everything from Plumeria to Penta. There is nothing better than sitting out there with a good book and seeing the palms and ferns wave in the breezes. I have written and published my first book in a series that takes place on Lake Champlain in Vermont. The first place that felt like home to me. The only thing comparable to the Green Mountains are the Great Smokies, and a little town called Bryson City, NC. My next home, hopefully!I have been happily married forever.

Mary Stella and a free book for a donation

Mary Stella, a co-member of the Florida Romance Writers, FRW,is a wonderful author. She just got a shocker from our main group the Romance Writers of America, RWA. She won't be participating in a long anticipated book Literary book signing, in San Francisco.

They changed the qualifying rules, and got "uninvited", sadly her books were both published prior to 2007. Rather than brood, she has decided to make, "lemonade out of lemons".

Get a free book for a small donation to the Literary chapter in your area. $2, $5, $10, on up, whatever you can afford. After all it is about reading and the readers, in the end, that's all that matters. Get yourself a great book whose story is set in the Florida Keys, and is a contemporary romance.

You'll be getting a great book and doing a good thing.

Right?

Mary's given a lot to the organization, so this is truly a sad thing.
