The stories are about the existence of those characters creatures and entities and the unforgettable events that mark their time and presence in Florida."<i> St. Augustine Review</i> <p/> </br></br>"Neile also tells the stories of some of Florida's most colorful citizens whom readers might not know, including Grayce McCoy, the raucous real estate lady of Sebring; and Laura Upthegrove, the self-proclaimed "Queen of the Everglades'' who was obsessed with the life (and crimes) of "Swamp Bandit'' gangster John Ashley. The stories, Neile said, "are the real Florida because that's what people share.'' And Florida Lore certainly is worth sharing." <i> The Coastal Star </i> <p/><br>
