Customer Reviews

Yule

I just heard Barbara had a book out. Haven't read it yet but I went to High School with her and she was a crackerjack. Got to be a great read. Hey Barb! Its Yule.

An Entertaining Read !

Freeloaders is a delightful, if incredible, slice of SW Florida life. I thoroughly enjoyed the misadventures of Karen Sinclair, whose only desire was to relax and recharge in FL retirement....if not for all those house guests! This is the perfect book to take poolside or to the beach.

If Walter Mitty Had Houseguests...

Even Walter Mitty could not have imagined the outlandish and entertaining demise of houseguests who have worn out their welcome. This brisk tall tale winds its way through real locales in SW Florida. The combination of unreal situations set in real locations leaves you laughing and wondering if it could actually happen. Curl up by the pool and have a ball!

Wonderful beach-side reading

Finally, Florida has a female Carl Hiaasen. This book is laugh-out-loud funny and yet has mysterious twists and a love story thrown in. This story of the untimely demise of house guests will forever change your view of visitors.
