Story of Leaving America for the Islands Featured at Literary Festival

Summer Reading for "66 Million Clinton Voters!"

PARADISE COVE RESORT, WEST END, ANGUILLA, May 22, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- “We walk a spectacular beach every morning, watch the pelicans glide over the water at sunset, and spend the rest of the day wondering why 66 million Clinton voters haven’t already bought my book about leaving America for the islands!” Melinda Goddard said playfully. The author of “One Way Ticket: From America to Anguilla” participated in the self-publishing panel at the Anguilla Literary Festival on Saturday afternoon, May 20, 2017. “It answers that question so many have asked about what it was really like to leave for the islands, forever.”
Given recent headlines, sharing the fantasy of moving to the Caribbean just might entice readers to visit Anguilla for a relaxing vacation - and perhaps a little villa shopping!
As so many start their summer reading lists, this a must read beach book about escaping the hectic pace of corporate commotion and dark to dusk commuting for the island Melinda likes to call, “Anguilla...aahhh!” She went on to assure the delegates that “Anguilla is the best nation on earth! We have never regretted our one-way ticket and thank our many beloved friends for making us so welcome here over the years.”
Another member of the panel, Kevin Larimer, editor in chief of Poets & Writers Magazine, said, “This is my first trip here, and I have never felt so completely welcome. There’s something special about this place!”
Melinda replied, “You’re going to fall in love [with Anguilla]. It’s true.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: From the day Melinda met him, her husband Terry said he wanted to live in the Caribbean. Eventually, she achieved her career goals in pharmaceuticals, and he had driven a devices company to acquisition by a Fortune 300. It was time to pursue their Caribbean dream—and moving to a wired island with a nearby international airport allowed them to continue working remotely – and walk a perfect beach every morning. Since making the island their home, they have enjoyed every facet of life in Anguilla and embraced more families and friendships than they ever thought possible.
