Readers often ask where I write, and in the Author’s Note to book 4, I mentioned that as I traveled up and down the King’s Road, I found myself writing in many coffee and tea shops as well as the local public libraries. Below are a few of the places that welcomed me with open arms, listed from New Smyrna northward to Saint Augustine.

New Smyrna Beach

New Smyrna Beach Regional Library - located in the heart of what was the Smyrnea settlement in 1768, a few blocks from the Old Stone Wharf Archaeological Site

Ormond Beach

AM Market & Coffee - a coffee shop with pastries and sandwiches, as well as a European-style market with international foods and a friendly atmosphere
