About this title

Synopsis

A collection of Key West-themed short stories, wonderful reading about the Southernmost Island in the United States.

MANGO SUMMERS
A Third Collection of Short Stories from The Key West Authors' Coop

Key West. A drifter's paradise where the down on their luck can find a place in the sun, make a quick buck and maybe even get lucky in love. For a night, no doubt; for a lifetime, maybe. Hippie haven, run down shack-mansions and hard times made softer by the blueness of the perfect sea. The down-and-out arrive by plane, boat or bus, having been taunted by the flirting image of that old tease Key West all the way south.MANGO SUMMERS is the third collection of short fiction from the same writers' collective that produced ONCE UPON AN ISLAND and BEYOND PARADISE. Key West writers from the first two books, J.T. Eggers, Rosalind Brackenbury, Allen Meece, Robin Orlandi, Theresa Foley, William Williamson and Kirby Congdon, are joined by seven new writers, all of whom live on and draw their inspiration from the tropical paradise at the literal end of the road.

"Key West has always lured writers to the dead-end of the Florida Keys chain. This collection is a testament to the newest group who continues to find creativity and inspiration among the island's back streets and alleys, moldy barrooms and marinas. It's a mix of romance and danger; it covers more emotional territory than a Florida panther in search of its next meal."

Author of Teaching a Stone to Talk
