About the author
Terrance Zepke
91 books65 followersI was born to travel! My parents took me on my first trip when I was just three years old and I have been on the go ever since! I always knew I wanted to be a journalist or a travel writer. I decided to pursue a career as a travel writer because I felt I would see more of the world--and I have! I have traveled to every continent and lived all over the world, including Oahu, Hilton Head, and London.
My favorite places are the South Carolina Lowcountry, Africa (especially East and South), and London. While I love all travel, my favorite kind is adventure travel. I have enjoyed all kinds of adventures, including hot-air ballooning over the Northern Serengeti,camping in the Himalayas, scuba diving at the Great Barrier Reef, hiking Peru's Inca Trail,and dog-sledding in the Arctic Circle.
I also like to read, explore historic sites, and chase ghosts. If it's historic and haunted, you got me! I have written close to thirty books. To find out more about my books, such as TERRANCE TALKS TRAVEL: A POCKET GUIDE TO ADVENTURE TRAVEL, A GHOST HUNTER'S GUIDE TO THE MOST HAUNTED PLACES IN AMERICA, THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CHEAP TRAVEL, and SPOOKIEST BATTLEFIELDS visit www.terrancezepke.com and www.terrancetalkstravel.com.

The author describes The Florida Keys as extraordinary, and after reading the information that she has compiled on it, I would have to agree. Although I have never entertained thoughts of going there, Ms. Zepke has certainly made it sound enticing. I had no idea that it was one of the most popular diving destinations in the world.
I liked the way everything was categorized, and laid out for you throughout the book. Besides the history, you will find lists of must see places, best places to eat and sleep. There are lists of events, best times to go, and even an itinerary you could duplicate.
I could feel the enthusiasm flowing through the author’s words, and couldn’t help but feel it too. I loved all of the pictures and the recipes that were included. My mouth is still watering just thinking about a Fudge Key Lime Pie on a Stick. I’ve never heard of it before, but now that I have, I’ve got to try it.

I made a once in a lifetime trip to Key West this past summer. I only wish I'd had this guide to consult before I went. The author includes not only things to see but the wildlife, customs/etiquette for the area, history, places to stay, things to remember for certain health issues, related web sites, budget and so much more. The main thing that could have improved the guide was having the pictures in color instead of black and white. I found out I won this book in a contest on my way back from the Keys, how ironic. I was not required to write a review, positive or otherwise.
