I have a few new stories published in the Spring 2013 edition of Lake of the Ozarks Second Home Living magazine. 

• "Livable Depth & Dimension" is my feature piece on a sprawling and secluded Lake Ozarks ranch. This gated 150-acre property features a private lake, a 3,700 square-foot main house, a two bedrooms/two-and-a-half bathroom guest house, a nine-stall horse stable and a riding arena. 
  

• "Water & Stone" is another home tour piece in which I offer readers an inside look at one of the most expensive private residences at the Lake of the Ozarks.  Owned as a vacation home by a Kansas City real estate developer and his wife, this extraordinary lakefront estate boasts an 8,000 square-foot main house, a 2,400 square-foot guest house, infinity pool, custom outdoor bar and natural stone waterfalls among its many luxurious amenities. 
  

• For "Elegance WithInn" I traveled to the charming town of Rocheport, Mo. to experience a stay at the Yates House Bed & Breakfast. Innkeepers Conrad and Dixie Yates provide their guest with first-class accommodations and gourmet meals in a cozy setting that is just steps away from antique shops, art galleries, and a renowned winery. I also blogged about my experience at the B&B here.
