Congrats to ghostwriting client Joe Overby, who has released his second book, Acres Aweigh! It's the story of Joe's life during the time he was stationed at Mayport as a tug master in the late 1950s-early 1960s. It's also the story of his friendship with Mrs. Elizabeth P. Stark, who used to own a 370-acre estate and operate a large resort called Wonderwood By-the-Sea where the basin at Mayport now stands. Fascinating woman who traveled the world, mingled with royalty, and marched for women's suffrage. As with Joe's first book, there's lots of history intermingled with his amusing anecdotes.
The book is available through Joe, at several local retail outlets including the Beaches Area Historical Society, or online at OldMaidCatLady.com, where you can also purchase Joe's first book, Just A Dumb Kid From Nowhere.
