"In 1763, European conflict eventuated in La Florida being transferred to England.

Just 20 years later, in 1783, Florida was returned to Spain.

In 1821, 38 years later, Spain gave Florida to the U.S. in exchange for paying off Spain’s $5 million in international debt 🤯. Florida became a U.S. territory."

Amy Harmon
“I hope the reader will experience the story in the spirit it was written, recognizing that who we are is not who they were, and judging historical people by today's standards prevents us from learning from them, from their mistakes and their triumphs. These people helped build the framework that we now stand on. We should be careful about burning it down.”
Amy Harmon, Where the Lost Wander

“It's a sweet, sweet life livin' by the salty sea.”
Zac Brown Band

Nev March
“Most things, I find, are temporary and pass into distant memory with the next great event. But this commentary drew blood to my face.”
Nev March, Murder in Old Bombay

Hazel Prior
“It's been a very long time since I've had an adventure.”
Hazel Prior, How the Penguins Saved Veronica

Melanie Hudson
“The most beautiful woman in any room is the woman with the most joy in her heart.”
Melanie Hudson, The Last Letter from Juliet
