Meanwhile tension is growing on the Emerald Coast. Vacationers are enraged because beach access has been reduced due to the large number of private homes along the coast. Meanwhile beachfront homeowners feel they have an exclusive right to the coastline in front of their houses. 30A has become a battle ground with unhappy people on both sides of the issue.
Dazzling sunshine, turquoise water and sugar white sand form the backdrop to this exciting mystery along the Emerald Coast of Florida’s Panhandle.

Claire had never been happier. The honeymoon in Thailand was perfect. But the flight home to the Florida Panhandle was long and exhausting.

As Claire screamed for help, a doctor came across the aisle and after a short examination declared Hobbs dead. As the story unfolds, Claire descends into a riptide of conflicting emotions and dark secrets. She realizes she never knew Hobbs at all. Their life together was based on a series of lies. Who was Hobbs? And why are the FBI and CIA investigating his death? This fast-paced novel takes place along the exquisite Emerald Coast with its beautiful beaches and charming towns.

Hello, Bonjour, Buongiorno, Buenos Dias,
Here is a timeline of the posts about my life in Europe. I’ve included the date of the post and the country I lived in. To read the story chronologically, they should be read backwards starting with the earliest date. For example, our arrival in Verona, Italy is described in the March 9, 2016 post and continues through our departure described in the June 5, 2016 post. These posts were the basis of my novel, VERONA WITH LOVE.

In June I returned home to Washington by ocean liner. It was not as much fun without Gudrun. Guess what? The staff and crew on board thought I was Swedish...my Swedish had become that good! The seas were calm and I didn't experience the nausea and discomfort we'd had the previous year.
The meals were abundant and delicious. I found plenty of partners to dance the night away.
I hope you have enjoyed this blog as much as I have enjoyed writing it. It was magical to return to all the people and places that added depth and sparkle to my life. I encourage all of you to take the plunge, hop on a plane and open your life to new adventures.
