Angel’s Guilty Pleasures

Hello and Welcome!

Today I’ve got Nina Fleet from Georgia B&B series here today to talk with us.  

Please introduce yourself to our audience and tell us about your B&B? Hello, I’m happy to be here today. My name is Nina Fleet (pronounced NINE-ah). I’m originally from Texas but lived in Atlanta, Georgia for almost twenty years while married to my now-ex husband, a well-known pro golfer. About a year after my divorce, I relocated to the small Georgia town of Cymbeline, just south and west of Savannah. 

I’m always thrilled to talk about my Bed and Breakfast inn, Fleet House. It’s a gorgeous Queen Anne home with a green, yellow, and cream paint scheme, plus plenty of gingerbread trim and a porch that wraps around the front and along one side. We have four upstairs guest rooms, each with its own theme that I tweak every so often. We have lovely grounds, almost half an acre with a huge magnolia in the front and a brick patio and plenty of landscaping in the back. That landscaping includes an authentic Shakespeare garden planted in the early 1900s. 

I love the Australian Shepherd breed and had one myself. What drew you to the breed and what fun tricks can Matilda do? Mattie is a rescue pup. You know how clever but hard-headed the breed sometimes can be, and unfortunately some owners just can’t deal with that. As I’m divorced, I wanted a dog that was smart and loyal and tough, and Mattie definitely fills the bill. She knows all her basic commands, but mostly she thinks things out for herself. Oh, a nun who was one of my first guests when I opened the B&B taught Mattie to say her prayers. It’s really cute to see. 

Now, I hear you are facing some challenges in Peachy Scream. Would you be so kind as to share those challenges with us? I was all excited about the upcoming Shakespeare on Cymbeline Square festival, especially because the event’s official Shakespeare troupe had reservations at my B&B. What I didn’t know until they actually arrived is that their director is my old nemesis, Harry Westcott. We do call a truce for the duration of the troupe’s stay, and he mostly behaves himself, even convincing me to be an extra in the productions. And when one of the actors drops dead in my Shakespeare garden, Harry is the only one who believes my theory that the man was murdered.

Besides running a B&B what do you like to do to relax? Hobbies? I didn’t realize before I opened the place how much time it takes to run a B&B, so I don’t relax all that much. But I do love to read when I can steal a few minutes, plus I enjoy antiquing and will upcycle the occasional piece of battered furniture.

What are a few of your favorites: Music? Beverage? Book? I like most music but am partial to 80s and 90s rock, as well as classical. For beverages, I like coffee, diet soda, white wine, and margaritas (on the rocks with salt). I was partial to mimosas until…well, you’ll see. I read biographies and mysteries. I know I have a dog, but one of my favorite cozy mystery series features a black cat named Hamlet who lives in a Brooklyn bookstore.

Last, what is your author link? You can find info on me at www.georiabbmysteries.com or www.dianestuckart.com
