Frequently Asked Questions
What inspired you to write the Living The Dream series?
After moving to Southwest Florida, I fell in love with the beaches, wildlife, small towns, and hidden gems that make this area so special. I wanted to create guides and books that feel friendly, helpful, and fun — the kind of resources I wish I had when I first arrived.
Are your guides good for families and kids?
Absolutely! My books are written with families in mind. Whether you’re planning a beach day, looking for kid‑friendly activities, or exploring nature, I highlight options that work for all ages — including my children’s book, Sunny & Sammy.
Do you update your guides?
Yes! Southwest Florida changes quickly — new restaurants open, beaches shift, and attractions evolve. I regularly update my guides to keep them fresh, accurate, and helpful for both locals and visitors.
