LIFE ON TOP SEASON 1 EPISODE 1 SERIES
Seeing this series of books come to life on the screen adds another layer to the characters and their stories. This was his first speaking role-that of a bird! He was one of the contestants (the tall, handsome one!) in the pilot, wearing the lavender shirt and the feather boa.

Setting an ongoing series in a familiar setting is extremely helpful to the writer in a variety of ways. In addition, Port Orchard (Cedar Cove) is the quintessential Puget Sound community, highlighting life in a small town at its best.

For the first seventeen years of my life I lived in Yakima, Washington.
