Escape to your favorite reading corner, settle into that comfy chair and travel somewhere unexpected in Florida Shorts, the new anthology of short stories and poetry by Five Florida Writers. This collection is the work of five authors, all possessing a flair for writing ‘out of the box’. Unforgettable characters appear in dilemmas ranging from innocent childhood struggles to adult themes of murder, and journeys of the soul. Conflicts swirl in settings stretching from exotic India, Yellowstone National Park, 1950s New York City, rural Florida, mystical animal kingdoms, and the Starship Enterprise. It isn’t often that a reader encounters Santa Claus, Klingons, philosopher squirrels, serial killers, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, a stubborn sheep, and star gymnasts in one book. Unusual twists and surprise endings are the elements that bind these stories together in a veritable smorgasbord, offering something for every reader’s taste.
