We Toast Special People, Places and Opportunities
WE TASTE
Savvy Restaurants Hotels & Resorts explores the talents of restauranteurs, chefs and winemakers and bartenders and tells the back stories about what it takes to run a successful hospitality business.
WE TELL SPECIAL STORIES
As published authors Beverly Smirnis and her co-author Catherine Team published the story of Anna from Atlanta–the true story of a strong black woman who cared for a severely handicapped child (also a true life character). Anna’s interactions with the people in Marshalltown, Iowa, taught valuable life lessons to everyone she encountered throughout her life. Anna is brought back to life in their portrayal of her in Anna From Atlanta, set during the 1930s, as Anna interacts with their fictional cast of characters. Anna of Iowa continues the story and provides a slice of life about life in Iowa during the World War II time period. We invite you to follow our new post series on principles taught by Anna that are timely and relevant in the world we find ourselves in today.
Beverly & Steve Smirnis are collaborating on their next historic fiction project (yet to be titled) –set in the mystical city of Tulum in Mexico’s Riviera Maya. While the action happens in the current time period, its cast of characters also includes immortal desendents from the last remaining Mayan civilization in Tulum.
