Two Too Tall Widows Find Love and Adventure (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Tall girls should stick together. Love arrives when you stop looking for it. One of the widows, a teleprompter operator, impresses one of her clients so much that he returns a year later to find her. He brings his widowed sister and her daughter. The daughter sets her mother up with the teleprompter operator's single brother, a botanist who spends much of his life on an airboat in the Florida swamps researching alien invasives and endangered plants. Other romances also blossom.

Both of the guys have secrets. The botanist has friends and associates who hide in the swamp, who rely on him for support as he relies on them for information. The other guy, who started all this, has worked with espionage agencies, and while he is determined to leave the past behind, it returns to drag him into action again.

A hurricane upends everything, and rescues become the order of the day.

Autorenporträt

Writing has always gotten me in trouble. Still does.

I have been a fan of science and speculative fiction since I found it in the young people's section of the library. In grade school, I devoured works by Heinlein, Norton, Asimov, and Huxley among others. By the time I had finished high school, I had read every science fiction book in the town's library.

When I was in high school I wrote short stories instead of paying attention in math class. This did not help my math grade and would have serious consequences a few years later.

In college, I could be counted on for the divergent opinion. This was after my failed math forced a complete redirection of my life plan. A disastrous Freshman year at Brandeis University, forced a reevaluation of reading materials. Switching majors to theater brought exposure to Shaw, Strindberg, Ibsen, Stoppard, Pinter, Shakespeare, and a host of young would-be playwrights. As a technical theater major, I found that the quantity of material to which I was exposed often surpassed the quality. Too busy to do any writing of his own, I devoted his time to supporting the efforts of others.

The Vietnam War brought a tour of duty in South Carolina and the opportunity to begin graduate work at the University of South Carolina. While in the Air Force, my anti-war sentiments did not become an issue, because I kept them secret. I did no writing except for my graduate school classes which I took while still in service. Even here, I was ever the contrarian, unwilling or unable to go where the others went. Fortunately, as a design major, my writing was of less concern than my draftsmanship. The war ended and with less than a month to go on my MA, and no job opportunities in sight, I left school lacking only my thesis and took a paying job at Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus World in Haines City Florida Master's degrees in the theater were not worth much in the aftermath of the Vietnam War.

Fortunately, through a series of unlikely coincidences, I landed a job as technical director of the then brand new Tupperware Convention Center. At the time, it was the only full-time convention center in Central Florida. I would stay there for twenty years earning an MBA along the way although my work schedule left little time for either reading or writing except for articles in technical journals.

My sudden departure from Tupperware provided the time to return to reading and writing...
