Sneak Peek: Villa Paradiso

Today we have a sneak peek from author Ted Atoka’s humorous novel: Villa Paradiso.

Four college grads, with ink still damp on their degrees, form an alliance with two mature women. The plan is to build a state-of-the-art life care retirement facility for the two silver-haired gals to call home. Working closely with the retirement facility’s residents poses challenges, including misplaced ED tablets, a shotgun named Bertha, and a famous womanizer called Ziggy.
