How exciting! News article in the Sun Sentinel: “In 2013, volunteers from the city of Lake Worth. . .


. . . formed a nonprofit organization called Cottages of Lake Worth to promote its vintage cottages in the hopes of encouraging tourism and improving the properties.” Use this link to read the entire article.

On January 16th, Yours Truly was invited to the Boynton Beach Woman’s Club to talk about “The Cottages” book; details below.

About the reporter: “Boynton Forum reporter Jan Engoren began her writing career after being asked one too many times to compose her boss’ emails. Before that, Jan worked as a corporate trainer, a regulatory affairs specialist and in health care serving the Asian community in Boston. She grew up in New York in an artistic household.”
