Join us for a great evening’s entertainment as RANDY WAYNE WHITE discusses and signs his outstanding 17th Doc Ford thriller\, DARK SHADOW. White outdoes himself in this nail-biter\, as Doc meets up with two low-life ex-cons\, King and Perry\, on the lam after killing a family of five during a burglary. Doc has help from his spacey sidekick Tomlinson\, a troubled teen\, and a crusty old fisherman looking for Baptista's lost treasure. While writing beautifully about Florida's geological history and natural habitats\, and delving deeper into the personalities of his beloved characters\, at the same time White creates one of his most thrilling books\, doing for cave diving what Jaws did for swimming. Call and reserve your first editions now.

Additional tickets are $10 each. Books alone will be available for the cover price of $23.99 plus tax.
Library Journal says of the new book\: "\;past and present lives collide in magical and violent ways with surprising\, liberating\, and redeeming results...folksy and sophisticated\, and humorous yet at times grave and appalling\, with the sins of the past clearly depicted....A seductive and thoroughly satisfying read."\;
A favorite of Florida fiction fans\, Fowler is acclaimed far beyond our shores for "\;the depth of (her) talent and the breadth of her imagination"\; (New York Times)\, and has the awards to prove it\, as a novelist\, memoirist\, and screenwriter. Perhaps best known for Before Women Had Wings\, which drew on her own challenging childhood here in Tampa and was adapted by Fowler for an award-winning Oprah Winfrey movie\, Fowler's other novels include Sugar Cage\, River of Hidden Dreams\, The Problem with Murmur Lee\, and Remembering Blue. Her rich stories feature girls and women overcoming harsh circumstances\, with mystery and grace in the mix\, and loving help of other women - and\, in the case of her memoir\, When Katie Wakes\, a very special dog.
