TIM DORSEY TO SPEAK AT ANNUAL AUTHOR LUNCHEON

Tim Dorsey, best-selling author of Florida Roadkill, Orange Crush, Hammerhead Ranch Motel, Cadillac Beach, his newest novel Torpedo Juice and more, will be featured at the 25th annual Friends of the Volusia County Library Center Author Luncheon.

The annual library fundraiser will be Wednesday, April 27, at noon (11:30 a.m. social time), at the Sunset Harbor Yacht Club, 841 Ballough Rd., Daytona Beach.

Tickets cost $20 and are available at the Daytona Beach Regional Library at City Island, 105 E. Magnolia Ave. Seating is limited. Tickets must be purchased by Friday, April 15.

Dorsey, 43, is a fulltime writer in Tampa. He grew up an hour north of Miami, was a police/courts reporter for the Alabama Journal in Montgomery, and was a general reporter, political reporter and night metro editor for the Tampa Tribune from 1989-1999.

Dorsey's novels are part of a young genre of macabre comedy, Florida crime fiction. His eccentric characters - especially the hyperactive spree killer and Florida history buff, Serge Storms - take a cynical view of Florida tourists, insurance agents, politicians, police, big business, and criminals that happen to get in their way.

For more information, please call the library at 386/257-6037.
