Nothing compares with the experience of living in a condominium community with a diva or two.  They scheme, sneak, and sidestep rules as they go about solving — and creating — major issues of pets, parking, and people with their own skewed logic. 

• What it’s all about:  Creative non-fiction about community politics of four women, condo rule-making and breaking, dogs, and the author who lives among it all and hopes her neighbors will not identify themselves in the characters in this book.    A fun read!
• Those who will identify:  condo dwellers and members of homeowners associations, empty nesters downsizing to condos, first-time condo owners, real estate investors, and anyone who enjoys Desperate Housewives.

Disclaimer:  No sticks or stones are being used to build Full Moon Landing Condominiums; it is rising 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 based on any one person – each is a fictionalized composite, hybrid, and exaggeration of someone 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.
