Many Floridians are
addicted to the writings
of Jeff Klinkenberg, the
recipient of the 2018
Florida Folk Heritage Award. Jeff
worked at the Tampa Bay Times
for 37 years, where he established
himself as a reflective mirror of the
many wild and wacky things about
our state. His fourth book, Son of
Real Florida, is another view of
what he has seen and experienced
as a chronicler of the good, the
bad and the ugly in the state of
Florida and those who live there.
Whether Jeff is eating Key lime pie
or reminiscing about Joe’s Stone
Crab in Miami Beach, he tells it
as it was and in many cases, still
is. Son of Real Florida is published
by the University Press of Florida
and is available at (800) 226-3822
or at upf.com.
Scott Flynn of Clearwater
Beach is one of those
people who tell a tale
with enough detail
to make it interesting, yet
still manage to keep it short
enough to hold your interest.
In his first book, My Life…
Don’t Try This at Home, he
shares 55 short stories from his
life. Veteran cartoonist Bruce
Norris illustrates Flynn’s
adventurous memories,
which are bound to bring a
smile to your face. The book is
available at amazon.com.
