EXACTLY WHAT THE TITLE IMPLIES, FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS LIVED THE ENTIRE LIFESTYLE FOR 18 YEARS AND KNOWS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT. BUYER BEWARE. I NORMALLY DO NOT POST MUCH ABOUT LIVING IN THE VILLAGES ANYMORE BECAUSE "VILLAGERS" ARE LIKE "MAGAs" IN MANY WAYS. THEY BELIEVE ONLY WHAT THEY WANT TO BELIEVE AND NOBODY CAN TELL THEM ANY DIFFERENT. IF "THEY" THINK EVERYTHING IS WONDERFUL, THAT IS IT. NOT EVERYONE IS AS STUPID OR NAIVE AS THAT, BUT IF THE SKY WAS FALLING, THEY WOULD STILL THINK THE VILLAGES IS GREAT. SO TAKE WHAT YOU HEAR WITH SOME TRUTH, BUT DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK, COME LIVE HERE IN THE WINTER TIME AND SUMMER FOR ABOUT ONE MONTH BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO TAKE THE PLUNGE AND BUY. YOU WILL BE GREATFUL THAT YOU DID JUST THAT AND NOT FALL INTO THE MISTAKES OF SO MANY RESIDENTS THAT DID NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT INCOME OR DID NOT UNDERSTAND ALL THE HIDDEN TAXES AND MAINTENANCE COSTS INVOLVED. YOU HAVE PROPERTY TAXES, NOW SOME OF THE HIGHEST IN THE NATION, EXPRESSWAY TOLLS THAT WILL EAT YOU ALIVE, HIDDEN TAXES THAT YOU DO NOT THINK ABOUT.

This is a 17 hr. long fictional story about life aboard a navy combat cargo ship, where the murder of a navy skipper occurs. The main character is Lieutenant Bob Cantley, who is a maverick supply corps officer. The story takes place in the early 1980s and takes the listener from Bob's entry into the navy through his first ship and onward to his final ship, where he meets up with a ruthless navy skipper, Captain Manzack, known as the Spine Ripper. The Spine Ripper is an abusive skipper, much like Captain Qweeg in Herman Wouk's The Caine Mutiny.Because action takes places in the '70-'80s, there is a lot of profanity and navy lingo. It is the way the navy was then and still is to some degree. Action takes place on board the USS San Clemente during its voyage to the Indian Ocean, where the skipper ends up missing. This novel tries to shed light on the way sailors behave on deployment. Shipboard life is not easy, and thus, rough language is used throughout. The story line tries to reflect on the many moral dilemmas that face sailors in the navy. When Lieutenant Bob Cantley meets Captain Manzack for the first time, he realizes his career is doomed.The novel contains intrigue, sex, mayhem, and lots and lots of mischief. Bob and his navy buddies get into trouble for games they play. A court martial ensues at the end, and you will never be able to guess the outcome. Initial responses about Murder on Steel Beach by a retired rear admiral is it is interesting and has a great ending; another naval officer said it is a laugh a minute. You decide.

Here is what just one typical readers said about the book....Amanda Rose: Hi Robert I read your book last year when I sat on a plane... I made excuses for my tears saying was sad to be leaving the sun & beach behind. It's a fab story & so glad you shared it with us. OMG this story is a must read for all dog owners it is written from the heart with all the highs and lows of a furbaby parent, I laughed and cried as all furbaby parents have been or will go through these experiences in their babies short lives. I have have been through losses of many furbabies in my life so far and at the minute have 2 Lhasa's and 1 pug. As I have no children they have all been my babies and is so hard to let them go but we never want them to suffer either but memories still makes me chuckle and each one has a special place in my heart thank you for this story

An autobiography is about how truth can set you free once you go back in time and realize where you really came from as a child. It's about how one white child out of many that grew up in Florida were raised, nurtured, loved, educated and cared for by black American women and men. In my case, it was my nanny, our maid, and our family foreman. World War II and the Korean War were over and began a period of American prosperity which was not so prosperous for black Americans. Just like in the movie, “The Help” where black women were depicted as being the backbone of Southern homes raising children, cleaning and cooking meals for white families, my story is more singular in nature and is about myself and the three most important black Americans in my life growing up as a white child in Orlando. If you are not aware of how blacks were treated you should be, and you should seek out the true history of black oppression if you truly want to become educated. I wrote this to get out the story of how many of us (young white Floridians) were raised by truly wonderful people that just happened to be black. So if you don't like what you read, the just keep it to yourself. I was a born and raised in central Florida (Orlando) in the early 1950s. Like so many white children, how we lived and were reared was taken for granted in the early days after World War II. I will take you through my own personal upbringing from what I can remember of it and how I viewed my nurturing that enabled me to be the man I am today.

There is animosity among all shipboard departments and divisions and the ship's skipper and XO make life a living hell for everyone, especially those assigned to the supply department. The daily stress for the supply officers is unbearable, and stress gives with to games, drinking, and escapades that make a non-navy person scratch their heads in wonder. Just before the ship is set to go to a great liberty port, the captain comes up missing. No one can find him, and the ship goes to General Quarters to try and locate the skipper. Nowhere to be found, the XO reports the loss to the Navy's high command and an investigation ensues. Find out what happens next when you read this tale of life aboard a crazy combat cargo ship in the U.S. Navy.
