No.

He is not a "journalist", he is a novelist. It is my opinion that he saw a book about The Villages as an opportunity to make money, which is not bad, but he embellished and flat out lied in many areas and smeared a bunch of folks who won't take lies about their home town and their sex lives and their values lying down.

If he returned, and wrote again, he would feature The SEX ON THE SQUARE because sex sells books.

Only if he were to live here as an older adult and allowed this lovely place to pound him on the head would we get a nice friendly wholesome and maybe completely positive take on our town and our way of life.

NO....he would not like the CDD part and he would vilify the Morse family as way too successful. That used to be called "jealous of another's financial success". I go back to my opinion of him as being BLECH!
