    S2 Ep7: Tackling Life Through Gratitude with The Widowed Dancer
    Jun 20 2024
    We had the pleasure of welcoming local author and marine biologist Bryan Martin to the set of VIE Book Club! Originally from Massachusetts, Bryan has lived around the US and now calls Panama City Beach home. Known as "Sea Lion Bryan" due to his love for the ocean and his experience training sea lions for aquatic centers and the U.S. military.


    In 2017, Bryan turned to Facebook to share his journey after the passing of his partner. This led to an opportunity with Soaring Spirits International, where he wrote for their blog and represented the LGBTQ community. Bryan compiled his heartfelt posts and additional insights into his self-published debut book, The Widowed Dancer, available on Amazon.


    Catch the full episode wherever you get your podcasts to learn more about Bryan's incredible story. Follow him on Instagram at @sealionbryan for updates and mark your calendars for his book signing on Saturday, June 22nd at Bookish Boutique!

Wade, and the process of creating The Seaside Style® coffee-table book. The Seaside Style® book spotlights Daryl Rose Davis’s perspective and creativity as she and her husband, Robert Davis, pioneered the New Urbanist town of Seaside, Florida, and intentionally curated each store there. Then, dive into VIE’s luxury coffee-table books, HOME and COOK, which celebrate the local interior design, architecture, and culinary creatives in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, (also known as 30A) and its surrounding areas. Jordan shares her experience speaking with diverse authors on the first season of the VIE Book Club podcast and her recent experience interviewing songwriter Patrick Davis and attending Songwriters in Paradise in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
