Welcome to our web site!
 
Sally Simon sets her novels in the lesser-known tourist area of Charlotte County, Florida, on the Southwest Gulf Coast side of Florida.  Natives and winter visitors have enjoyed her fun, relaxing "beach-reads" since 2003. Critics have called her the Randy Wayne White of Charlotte County and the next Nicholas Sparks. Sally has gone by invitation to ArtSensation and the prestigious Southwest Florida Reading Festival as well as held other private booksignings.
 
The on-going characters in her three current novels--Country Pride and Joy,  Punta Gorda Dreams, and Punta Gorda Storms--are all members of the fictitious Daniels family and its friends and affiliates, but real locations, real people and real local businesses are woven seamlessly into the fabric of the novels. Sally's third novel, Punta Gorda Storms, is a must-read for anyone wishing a first-hand tale of the devastation and reconstruction from Hurricane Charley in southwest Florida. You can order any or all of Sally's novels by phone or contact one of the retail locations that carries her novels.

Sometimes the dream we had when we were kids turns out not to be what we thought it would be.

Or maybe what we should have at all.

Trevor Daniels, talented musician, composer and lyricist, has escaped the horrors of his youth.

Hasn’t he? But has he put himself into another type of nightmare?

Take the rollercoaster ride of fame, fortune and grueling hard work that is the music business with this damaged young man from Punta Gorda, Florida, and find out what makes a true Punta Gorda Dream.

“Sally Simon has exceeded hopes generated by her first novel, Country Pride and Joy. In her continuing adventures of Trevor and his adopted clan, Simon paints a realistic portrait of life as an American Idol. Simon’s compassionate telling of Trevor’s tale makes the book a disturbing yet magnetic work.”

                    ----James Abraham, independent book reviewer

Live was good for Trevor Daniels.


Enter one Matt Fisher, artist, adding dimension and interest to Trevor’s placid life, and to the life of Trevor’s beloved daughter, Joy.

And then, on August 13th, 2004, life for the Daniels family and all of Charlotte County, Florida, takes a sharp right hand turn.

Some things will never be the same again.

Come join the Daniels clan and its affiliates as they face the storms of the summer of 2004. Not all endings are bad, and not all beginnings are good, but as always, it’s what you bring to any journey that counts in the long run.
