One of my favorite places to visit is Wakulla Springs, where The Creature From the Black Lagoon was filmed. I’m more interested in the other creatures in the black lagoon, and this year it was warm enough for me to take my friends on the boat ride to meet them.

At Wakulla springs, the entire Wakulla River comes pouring up out of the ground, from a cavern which we are told is eight stories high. The water is warm all winter and a haven for manatees. I can’t recommend it enough, for people who like wildlife and old-fashioned vacationing, sans television and internet.
I’m vacationing here and points south with my brother and our friends Sharon and Bob, and I have set myself the task of revising a few chapters of the third Osyth novel, Swept and Garnished, every day. Just finished chapter 7 this morning! So any readers who are waiting for the next installment, fear not. It will be ready to come out relatively soon, and Double Dragon always issues them faster than I expect.
