About Me

Name: Mary Ricksen
Location: West Palm Beach, FL, United States

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. Love 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 have a beautiful secret garden, with everything from Plumeria to Penta. The butterfly's love it. 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!

World Erotic Art Museum

Well not only did I get to see South Beach, which I have never seen, but I got to see the WEAM, the World Erotic Art Museum. A more unique collection of erotic art could not possibly exist. I saw things from 500 yrs BC, to the always lovely Marilyn Monroe. Definitely a place to see.
I was surprised at the quality of the artwork. Yes I did see Homer Simpson with an erection, but I also saw a number of wonderful things. I myself especially loved some of the nude paintings. Some of them were done with such emotion and beauty, I would love to have one for my living room.
Check it out in South Beach, and then walk along the beach and see people just as interesting and diversified.
We have a book signing panel event at the museum. The very first one I ever participated in and I am still here to tell about it. Whew, I made it!
