Romance author to host second book signing in Haile

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – With one book signing under her belt, romance novelist Rebecca Heflin is fully prepared for her second, taking place this Friday from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at The Perfect Gift in Haile Village Center.

Heflin hosted her first book signing for her debut novel, “The Promise of Change,” this past October. It was pouring rain, so local passers-by were scarce, but a good crowd still pulled through to support the Gainesville author. This time around, Heflin’s hoping for better weather and enthusiastic soon-to-be readers to stop by for a book and some casual chatting.

 

Reading Through the Years

“Excited about Christmas for the first time since childhood, she could hardly wait to give everyone their gifts.”

“No sign of audacity. No trace of bravado. This was Lacey completely vulnerable and exposed. She’d been stripped of all her armor.”

“She had a wicked sense of humor, and beneath that tough exterior beat the heart of a humanitarian.”

These are some of my favorite quotes from the book I recently finished reading: Rebecca Heflin‘s latest novel, “Rescuing Lacey.” I’m not usually too crazy about romance novels unless there’s some kind of fantasy twist, but working with Heflin the past year, I’ve come to better appreciate this popular genre of fiction.

Since my childhood years in elementary school, I had always been an avid reader of a wide variety of books. I’d pick up anything from “Persnickity” or “Kirsten’s Surprise” to “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” or “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.”

Gainesville travel agency goes global with ecotourism

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The distinguishing factor between Expedition Travel and other travel agencies is simple: responsible travel. This Gainesville-based agency is focused on ecotourism, promoting the welfare of local people while encouraging these populations to conserve and protect their natural ecosystems.

Poor villages in developing countries are faced with a choice of how to feed their families, and cutting down trees or hunting wildlife has historically been some of their only options, according to Court Whelan, general manager of Expedition Travel. Through ecotourism, responsible tourists support the local economy through lodging, restaurants, shops, guide services and much more.
