Sylvia Rochester is a writer and artist that I'm proud to know. She belongs to my local RWA chapter. Sylvia invited me to lunch at her home and I had a great time. She gave me directions and joked that she lived in the swamp. I didn't think she meant that literally! The swamp is her back yard. No kidding. She can walk a few feet and fish. Sylvia can hear the mating calls of alligators from her bedroom window. Take a look.

Sylvia took these photos from her back porch.
