A sunny day at the beach + a good book = paradise
NaBloPoMo’s question of the day is:
Who is your favorite author?
I love spending a day or a week at the beach soaking up some vitamin D and reading a book by Carl Hiaasen. Carl is a south Florida writer who is a reporter for the Miami Herald. This experience has given him an endless supply of outrageous characters because south Florida is a bit of a dysfunctional place to say the least. Deep in his heart, Mr.Hiaasen is an environmentalist who has sadly watched developers destroy much of Florida’s natural habitats. He finds ways to work these themes into his raunchy, fictional stories.
I’d love to tap into his genius and write a fictional rant. While not as obviously outrageous as south Florida, my suburban town has some dysfunctional, wacky characters as well.
I hope to have my Hiaasen-like fictional blog post up by the end of the day. In the meantime, here’s a link to his website where you can learn more about his books. Carl Hiaasen
