AOL Keyword: Authors On The Web
February 2002
Dear Reader:
In haste...before March comes in like a lion...or a lamb...here's an update from AuthorsOnTheWeb.com.
February Author of Month: Carl Hiaasen
Known for his razor wit and thought-provoking sociopolitical commentary, Carl Hiaasen, the award-winning columnist for The Miami Herald, is the bestselling author of nine novels that blend gritty mystery with his unflagging devotion to crucifying developers, politicians, and any other entity that threatens the quality of life in his beloved home state of Florida. Hiaasen has also written an essay blasting the Disney enterprise, two anthologies culled from his Miami Herald columns, and coauthored three earlier crime novels with Bill Montalbano which are currently back in print. AuthorsOnTheWeb.com showcases this enormously funny writer with reviews of his novels, biographical information, and a quiz to test your Hiaasen expertise.
And here's some advance notice...
