Condo Diva's Excerpt

“I hope you don’t have any cats or anything,” the woman continued in a warning tone of voice, “because the rule here is two pets per household.” No smile on the woman’s face, just a stern-teacher look, hands on hips, head tilted forward. Mattie stared at her a few seconds before she responded. Is she being friendly or informative or have I just met Full Moon Landing’s condo Nazi? And what’s with the apron? Maybe she’s a waitress when she’s not policing the grounds. “No, no cats.” Then she countered with, “So are you the property manager or something?” “No, I’m Lydia,” she said. Her attitude suggested a commanding ego. “And I’ve lived here a long time, longer than anyone else.”

Disclaimer:

No sticks or stones were used to build Full Moon Landing Condominiums; it rose entirely from my computer keyboard to be populated with some determined divas, a few eccentric individuals, and a dog or two. No one in this book is pure - they are all fictionalized composites, hybrids, and exaggerations of neighbors I’ve known in the half-dozen communities I’ve lived in. The situations are based on true events that have been embellished for the purpose of your entertainment.
