Sketchbook Miami

<p>MIAMI a city as colorful as its link to the Caribbean while still being connected to all that is Florida and America. A city to make a new start a city to party. A place where the surrounding water is a part of everyday life as well as threatening to reclaim the pavement structures and inhabitants seemingly at any time.</p><p>DEAMER SKETCHBOOKS: In case you haven't heard coloring books for all ages are becoming quite a passion. Perhaps for many a little coloring can still feed a passion for getting into a book as well as allowing the satisfaction of finishing something. A few sketches are accompanied with a micro-story to add context. Deamer Sketchbooks are meant to inspire you. Each sketch is partnered with a blank page-you can add notes comments poems words of a song or your own artistic doodles-innovation influenced by creative human activity. The idea is that this is a book that you can make your own. These are travel companions whether you take it along or you allow it to take you...</p><p></p><p>In addition to my SKETCHBOOK SERIES I've created a CULINARY ADVENTURE SERIES - TRAVEL FICTION. Omar T and his family are in a different city for each novel. The travel fiction aspect is enhanced with descriptions of actual sites restaurants bookstores galleries and shops-including sketches favorite lists and recipes. Diversity in race religion culture language and sexual orientation not only exists within Omar's family it is celebrated in these tales. Each Omar T book is independent you do not need to read them in the order of their publication. Though as the collection grows there are occasional references to other books in the series. My life within the hospitality world including owning my second restaurant in Salinas CA for twenty years inspired these foodie adventures starting with OMAR T in MONTEREY CALIFORNIA. Come join Omar as he travels the world...</p><p></p><p>OMAR T in MIAMI: Omar's artist mother receives one of the Wynwood Walls mural commissions which inspires her to challenge Omar and his sister to create a cookbook so they can present it at the Miami Book Fair and double as her assistants. Sissy meets a soave Argentinian businessman who introduces her to luxury and Miami eccentricities while Omar befriends a chain smoking hard drinking petite New Yorker taking a break from her life as a professional card dealer.</p>
