ORANGE PULP
"Orange Pulp is a stylish, engaging collection that belongs on everybody's night stand. Each story sizzles and pops with Florida's raunchy, intoxicating heat. This is great fun."
--Carl Hiaasen
"Brilliant . . . Orange Pulp is the most original collection of mystery short stories, and selections of novels, I have ever read. The orange is as dark as the moon in eclipse and the pulp is as tasty as a long-forgotten dream that suddenly returns. Read it. Treasure it." --Stuart M. Kaminsky
FLORIDA'S GOLDEN AGE
How did Florida, one of the country's four smallest and least developed states in 1880, become within fifty years not only a tourist Mecca but also a hub for technological innovation?

A TRIP TO FLORIDA FOR HEALTH AND SPORT
When a 17 year-old boy from New York comes to Florida to spend the winter, what is the first thing he wants to do? Go to Disney World? The year is 1885, so he's a little early for that. Then What? He wants to hunt game in the woods and swamps, fish the lakes and rivers, explore the St. Johns river and take boat rides, do all those things that meant so much to a boy in that period of time in pioneer Florida.
FLORIDA IN POETRY
Long before John Smith set foot in Virginia, Spanish and French poets were writing about the landscape and inhabitants of Florida. This anthology carries the reader from some of these earliest European encounters with the peninsula to the experiences of contemporary voices. It is a history of the imagination of Florida's past, present, and future.
SHAKESPEARE BOOKS
SHAKESPEARE'S OTHER LIVES
For generations scholars have labored to separate the facts of Shakespeare's life from the myths that have entangled them. Those who have written fictions about the bard have, however, operated under no such constraints. They offer solutions to the identities of W.H. and the Dark Lady, suggest Shakespeare's role in the shaping of the King James Bible, and trace his relationships with Sir Thomas Lucy, Francis Bacon, Elizabeth I, Kit Marlowe and Ben Johnson.
