This amazing collection of short stories from Bill Lorraine has to be at the top of your reading list. From the title story to "The Playing Field," these stories will take you from the tree-shrouded streets of Key West to the hardwood hammocks in sight of the Oversees Highway, from ambling down Duval Street to inside the honkytonk bars and sundrenched hotels, where you will meet Simpleminded Jimmy and gravedigger Miles Butler and melancholy Dusty and two hillbilly hookers and Theron ... who is waiting for something to happen. Bill Lorraine is something of a Renaissance Man -- a composer and piano soloist, a sculptor and poet, a photographer and more. Oh yes, a damned fine writer too
