Author Bio
A history geek since childhood, Ruth is a member of Mensa, a former member of the board of directors of the Writers Network of South Florida and also was a columnist for Seabreeze Publications, Inc., where her column The Florida You Don't Know"? enjoyed a wide and loyal readership. Aside from forays to Tallahassee, where she graduated from Florida State University, Ruth's home base has remained in the county she finds so fascinating. A voracious reader, she enjoys writing in several different genres, but finds herself drawn time and time again to stories that evoke the forgotten paradise of the Florida that existed in the past. Prudy Taylor Board is a native Floridian and an award-winning author/editor with more than a thousand articles published in newspapers and magazines. She is the author of sixteen books and has been a reporter/feature writer and has edited newspapers, magazines and newsletters."
