For Sale: On The Ocean In Palm Beach (County) For Under $200K
If you’ve ever wanted to own a little bit of paradise right on the ocean in Florida for under $200K, have I got a deal for you? No, I haven’t gone into the real estate biz. This is just info I picked up while doing some location research ( I love doing location research ) for Book 3. This time, my research took me to Briny Breezes, a small mobile home community lying between Manalapan and Delray Beach in Palm Beach County.

It’s Squib Saturday. Time to share the best, most interesting (or most entertaining, or most outrageous) tidbit of information I’ve gleaned from all the stuff I’ve read –or done– this week: Top Palm Beach Restaurants Provide Soup for Empty Bowls
Imagine that you hand over just $25, and then go to eat a bowl of soup at every best, exclusive restaurant in town — for no further cost. Well, that’s more or less the idea behind the Empty Bowls annual fundraiser in Palm Beach — a town that has more exclusive restaurants per square mile than probably any other town in America.

Getting Into The Holiday Spirit with The Palm Beach Writers Group
It’s News Squib Saturday — but instead of posting News Squib#14, I’m taking a break from the news (both real and fake) this week to share some highlights and tips from writers with whom I got together last night at the Leopard Lounge, in The Chesterfield, a historic landmark in Palm Beach.
Swanky
The Leopard Lounge, once described by a Palm Beach Post reporter as the kind of “dark and swanky” bar that “Don Draper might have taken a paramour during Mad Men‘s first season,” was the location for a holiday gathering of some 35 writers and editors last night. The evening was organized by Cathy (Kat) Helowicz, (aka Hostess with the Mostest) and author of a children’s book, On Grandpop’s Lap. She is in the middle of writing her first novel for adults, and told me she recently enrolled in author James Patterson’s MasterClass, a series of 22 video lessons on how to write a best-seller.
