When interviewed last year by BedandBreakfast.com, I said that one of the challenges in being a Bed and Breakfast owner is finding the right balance between being there for your guests and giving them their space. 

Recently, Jamaican-born Sharon Mathias, along with her husband John and their sons Joaquin and Jason from Texas, came to meet their Jamaican family for the first time. They had places to go and people to see, and naturally, I gave them their space. Only to find out when she was gone that we had an artist in our midst! And a published author at that! Her first title is "Rapid Deployment", a semi-autobiography that covered her time in Somalia with the U.S. Army.

So inspired was she during her week at Neita's Nest that she is going to write her second book this summer. It will be about her wonderful vacation in Jamaica, and that it can be enjoyed on a budget. 

Neita's Nest is indeed an Artist's Haven. Write on, Sharon!
