Geography has dealt Florida a lavish hand when it comes to
natural gifts. The Sunshine State is filled with unusual flora and fauna. South Florida is
home to the endangered Florida panthers and the only North America crocodiles. The Everglades
swarm with wildlife from birds such as wood storks, ibises, flamingos, roseate spoonbills
and dozens of others to mammals such as black bears, bobcats, fox squirrels and raccoons.
When it comes to reptiles, you will find more alligators than you ever dreamed of as well
as gopher tortoises, caimans, green anoles, five lined skinks and hundreds of other
snakes, turtles and lizards.
Take a boat ride into the surrounding waters of the Atlantic or Gulf
of Mexico, you will find dolphins dancing in your wake.
Drop on down to Big Pine Key, which is the only place you can
encounter the tiny Key deer in the wild. You will probably spot a few sun-loving iguanas
as you island hop through the Keys.
South Florida’s plant life is also abundant and rich. From the
native mangroves, which are at the root of the food chain to the colorful exotic Brazilian
pepper, which threatens native plant life but seems impossible to eradicate to the
delicate wild orchids, which thrive on air alone, your senses will be overwhelmed by the
color and variety.
Then there are also all the refuges, preserves, parks and zoos that
make South Florida a nature lover’s paradise.
Wild About Florida- South Florida is a guide no outdoorsman-
or woman- should be without. It lists those hard to find places and provides the inside
scoop on those magnificent spots you might never find on your own. It portrays Florida’s
wonders with original full color photographs.
Of course, you will also want Wild About Florida – Central
Florida and Wild About Florida – North Florida. Even if you are not living
or visiting the Sunshine State, this series is a great way to glimpse the wondrous natural
side of Florida.
Hosts With Ghosts: Haunted Historic Hotels in the Southeast
ISBN:978-0-9779680-7-7
Price: $19.99
The South
has long been famous for its Southern Hospitality. Hotels throughout Dixie vie with one
another to offer their guests more service and more amenities. They strive to make each
visitor feel like a cherished family member instead of a paying customer.
When you
visit a hotel, you expect more than a temporary roof over your head while you travel. You
want to immerse yourself in the flood of history that has engulfed the spot you visit.
Perhaps you seek a Colonial ambience in Virginia or a touch of Civil War drama in Georgia
or Alabama. Or you may want to relive the
brash frontier past of Texas, Kentucky or Tennessee. Maybe you wish to experience the
Creole flavor of Louisiana or Mississippi’s rural heritage. In Florida, much of its
history has been influenced by its tropical and subtropical climate. Some of the states
included in this book, like North and South Carolina have a culture so diverse you can
expect to find a totally different experience depending on which part of these states you
visit.
You want
to experience this flavor when you travel. This book is set up for you as a traveler. I
have offered the most interesting sights whether they are historic places, fun attractions
or off the wall less known sights that might be missed in some guidebooks. In some cases,
I have arranged them in chronological order to give you a better historical picture of the
area. Sometimes, I placed them for convenience of driving to them. I included both haunted
and non-haunted, as I know you want to see all each area has to offer.
Many of
the most interesting hotels in the Southeast have an edge on making you feel part of their
states’ heritage. They are housed in historically significant buildings. All old
buildings retain a trace of the historical elements that shaped their destiny. Ah, if only
their walls could talk! Of course I can’t tell you all about all the best hotels in Dixie.
There are far too many. But I can let you in
on the secrets hidden behind the doors of some of the ones with that little something
extra, their very own historical spirits. Some are large, corporate owned resorts. Some
are so tiny they are now considered bed and breakfasts or inns even though they were once
hotels. Some are not what you consider a traditional hotel. They all do have one thing in
common.
These are
the Hosts With Ghosts!

Florida! The land of sunshine and wide-open beaches. But even the Sunshine State has
its dark secrets. Places where centuries old spirits remain tied to earth. Beneath the
façade of fun and make believe lurks the real Florida.
Settled by often cruel conquistadors, Florida was Europe’s first stronghold in the
New World. The blood of Spanish, French, English and Native American had stained its
verdant woodlands and sandy beaches long before it became part of the United States.
Even then, greedy land barons and simple settlers battled the heat, hurricanes, insects
and snakes to create the paradise we know as modern Florida. Is it any wonder that
unexplainable tales and strange phenomena still remain just below the surface
It is still a great state for explorers of the modern persuasion. But if you want to
enjoy it to the fullest, it helps to have some background and history before you begin
your voyage of discovery. Here I have given you the bare bones of each place where I found
spirits lurking. I have included places to stay, great eateries, fun attractions and most
important, a ghostly preview. I have divided the state according to its natural geographic
areas. Now it’s up to you. Join me as we go about Finding Florida’s Phantoms.

more about this book
We have probed the vastness of outer space. Our divers have plumbed the watery depths.
Yet there are still many things science cannot explain. Who is not fascinated by
mysterious things that go bump in the night? Who has never wondered about that thin line
that separates the living from the dead? Are there some places where departed souls still
linger? I don't propose to answer that question. However, there are too many cases of
reputable people reporting strange occurrences in certain places. It is even harder to
dismiss the stories as foolishness when many people who have never met relate the same
experience.

more about this book
After a painful divorce, Casey returns to the haven of her childhood, her great
grandmother Weesie’s tiny log cabin. Nestled deep in the Appalachian Mountains of
North Georgia, the cabin rekindles memories of her happiest years as a young child
enjoying Granny Weesie’s tales of treasure. Casey seeks a peaceful refuge she will
share only with her cat, Smokey. These ancient mountains are part of her blood and her
culture. The beauty and the customs have always been sacred to her. However, much more
than early memories await Casey in Bluejay, Georgia.
By chance, or was it design, Weesie’s childhood diary turns up in the cabin. The
scrawled pages transport Casey back into the late nineteenth century. Far from finding the
peaceful time she expects there, she uncovers a web of adultery, murder and intrigue that
threatens to entangle Casey’s twenty-first century life.
That life threatens to become more complex when her new neighbor turns out to be a
handsome victim of his own marital disaster. Lee Schmidt has vowed never to let another
woman mangle his life.
As Casey is drawn deeper into Weesie’s life and times, her "real" life
becomes more complicated by her growing attraction to Lee. Some strange occurrences happen
in the cabin mirrored by tales of ghostly sightings in her family history. Her involvement
with things past increases. As she travels back to 1879 via Louisa’s diary, she meets
an intriguing cast of characters. Donald Stuart, her "sister" Lillith’s
faithful lover, David, his evil hearted twin brother, Ma and Da Garrett, Louisa’s
parents and her own direct ancestors, and the other inhabitants of early Bluejay.

Loretta learns that one harmless white lie can lead down strange paths. Little by
little, her heedless statement draws her into a dead woman's identity. Will her deception

motive, her share of a vast English estate.
Is it Richard, her supposed half brother who has the best motive, or Polly, his doting
aunt, with her knowledge of herbs and poison? Could it be Nat, the seductive outsider, who
offers friendship? Perhaps it's Morgan, Nat's handsome twin, who romances Loretta. Is it
her person or her fortune he desires? Perhaps even sickly Arabella, the twins mother,could
be driven to murder to help her children. Worst of all could it be Greg, who has captured
her unwilling heart? Does he return her love or is there someone else he wants? In the

has his secrets.
