Hundred of books have been published about Florida writers. This small book focuses only on writers that I have enjoyed and who are no longer alive at the time of publication in January 2017. The volume includes both fiction and non-fiction authors. All of them have some things in common: they all wrote books and stories with Florida story lines and settings, and they are all dead. Many of them lived in Florida, but not all of them. Each article about an author includes a photograph, birth date, and date of death. This book is my effort to keep their memories alive through introducing them and their writing to a new audience whom I hope will enjoy their work as much as I have.
