 CHAPTER THREE
Adjusting
to life in a foreign country was getting easier for all of them as they stayed
busy with renovating the beach house they'd found in Luna Beach, Florida. They had moved from hotels, to a condo, then

About Me
.jpg)
I am a professional wordsmith and a Marketing and Brand generations strategist with experience composing Public Relations and Marketing creative copy including: web sites, blogs, print, press releases, catalog copy, and email marketing campaigns.
Read my blogs regularly and you'll find I'm passionate about writing - always have been. Since I first heard the story of "Peter Pan and Wendy," I became a lover of stories. As soon as I could hold a book and understand the alphabet, I grew to be an avid reader. Once I was able to hold a pencil and put sentences together, I knew I was a writer.
