Books by Tim Dorsey

Tim Dorsey grew up in Riviera Beach on Florida's southeast coast, and graduated from Auburn University in 1983. For the last seven years, he has worked as a journalist on the night desk of the Tampa Tribune, where his duties include sorting through crime reports of the incredibly brutal and strange things humans do to each other in the city. Humour is a natural defence reaction to editing this parade of dysfunction, violence and stupidity, and it led to a surreal, Florida-noir way of looking at things that became Florida Roadkill -- his extraordinary first novel. He has now written two sequels, Hammerhead Ranch Motel and Orange Crush.
