SUMMARY:Tim Dorsey
DESCRIPTION:A (Serge A.) Storm is brewing for a cabal of bad guys gaming the Florida state lottery in Clownfish Blues\, an insanely funny novel from the maestro of mayhem\, Tim Dorsey. \nIf you’re loud and proud Floridian Serge A. Storms\, how do you follow up your very own remake of Easy Rider? You shoot your own “episodes” of your favorite classic television show\, Route 66! \nWith Coleman riding shotgun\, Serge is rolling down the highway of his dreams in a vintage silver convertible Corvette just like the snazzy car Martin Milner drove. It doesn’t matter that the actual Route 66 didn’t pass through Florida\, for Serge discovers that a dozen episodes near the series’ end were filmed (really!) in his beloved home state. So for Serge and the always toked and stoked Coleman\, the Sunshine State is all the road you need to get your kicks. \nBut their adventure traveling the byways of the Sunshine State’s underbelly is about to take a detour. Someone is trying to tilt the odds in the state lottery amidst a conga line of huge jackpots spinning off more chaos than any hurricane season. With this much at stake\, of course every shady character wants in. Crooked bodega owners\, drug cartels laundering money through the lottery\, and venture capitalists are all trying to game the system—and lining up to get their cut. They’re also gambling with their lives\, because when Serge and Coleman get hip to this timely (and very lucrative) trip\, there’s no telling whose number is up next. \nThrow in Brooke Campanella\, Serge’s old flame\, as well as the perpetually star-crossed Reevis\, and it’s a sure bet that the ever lucky Serge will hit it big. Winning has never been this deadly—or this much fun! \nTim Dorsey was a reporter and editor for the Tampa Tribune from 1987 to 1999\, and is the author of nineteen novels: Coconut Cowboy\, Shark Skin Suite\, Tiger Shrimp Tango\, The Riptide Ultra-Glide\, When Elves Attack\, Pineapple Grenade\, Electric Barracuda\, Gator A-Go-Go\, Nuclear Jellyfish\, Atomic Lobster\, Hurricane Punch\, The Big Bamboo\, Torpedo Juice\, Cadillac Beach\, The Stingray Shuffle\, Triggerfish Twist\, Orange Crush\, Hammerhead Ranch Motel\, and Florida Roadkill. He lives in Tampa\, Florida.

SUMMARY:Daniel Handler
DESCRIPTION:Daniel Handler discusses Three Masquerades\, a collection of novellas by Rachel Ingalls. Daniel Handler assembled this collection for Pharos Editions\, a press that is dedicated to bringing to light out-of-print\, lost or rare books of distinction. \n\nPraise for Rachel Ingalls \n\nSo deft and austere in its prose\, so drolly casual in its fantasy… – John Updike  \n\nShortly after beginning each of the novellas in this remarkable collection\, I was seized with a haunting conviction that I was reading works I would not easily forget. – Joseph Heller \n\nRachel Ingalls ‘ elegantly written tales mix reality and fantasy in surprising ways\, casting a dark light on the conventions of our lives\, our ideas about marriage\, youth and age… she deserves to be as well-known in America as she is in England.”  —Alison Laurie \n\nAbout Three Masquerades \n“I See a Long Journey” and “On Ice\,” novellas that Mr. Handler considers basically perfect\, originally appeared with a third\, “Blessed Art Though\,” a story that he considers to be in an entirely different tone. He felt that “Friends in the Country” from Ms. Ingalls later collection\, “The End of a Tragedy\,” was a more natural companion to the two earlier works. The author happily agreed. \n  \n“I See a Long Journey” introduces us to Flora who is induced by her husband\, James\, to take a vacation only because his chauffeur Michael\, custodian of their persons and their purse\, will accompany them. Things\, as they so often do in Ingalls world\, will go appalling awry.  “Friends in the Country” wherein a young couple drive outside of London for a Friday dinner and find themselves trapped for the weekend in a manner that surpasses Stephen King\, if not in outright horror then certainly in subtlety and suggestiveness. “On Ice” finds Beverley with her fiance at an elegant hotel where she is introduced to a grande dame whose funeral Beverley’s convinced she had witnessed 10 years before. \n
