Audrey Frank is no stranger to St. Augustine.

After she closed her shop she worked at The Government House, greeting visitors to the city she loves.

Her recent stories have appeared in Nostalgia Magazine, The Oxford So & So Magazine and on many online sites including A Quick Read (a short stories app for the Android phone), Stepping Stones Magazine (a web based journal showcasing artists and writers) and Dew On The Kudzu.

St. Augustine has been home to the author for more than twenty years. The city is her writing muse.  If you ever get a chance to visit St. Augustine you should take it. The history of the city is everywhere you look, the people are friendly, and the food delicious, she adds as an author's note in Under Margret's Wing.
