Step into the vibrant and comical universe of Florida Hustle, a coming-of-age novel that is both hilarious and heartwarming, by award-winning author Paul Wilborn.
Follow the exploits of Michael Donnelly, a 17-year-old with a passion for Italian horror movies and Dawn Karston, a scream queen he’s seen only in a series of cheap slasher flicks. His twin obsessions collide in a riotous tale that races from plush Palm Beach, to the mean streets of downtown West Palm Beach, and on to the swampy, alligator-infested environs of the Florida Everglades.
Florida Hustle takes us inside the youthful dreams of Michael, his traveling companion, 18-year-old Lola Fernandez Famosa, and the not-so-innocent desires of Lola’s aging boyfriend, Cavanaugh Riley III. Michael and his sidekicks chase their dreams through Florida with reckless abandon, and often hilarious results.
Beyond its laugh-out-loud humor, the book is a heartfelt exploration of the universal quest for identity and purpose. It also offers an insider’s look at the copycat slasher films spawned by the success of the original Friday the 13th in 1981. Once on board for this fast-paced road trip, readers will find themselves laughing, reminiscing, and rooting for a cast of characters chasing their own improbable dreams.
“Steeped in 1980s film and horror culture and basking in Palm Beach’s neon glow, Paul Wilborn’s rollicking ride of a novel – Florida Hustle – is fully immersive, wildly entertaining and as authentic as it gets,” says Steph Post, author of Miraculum, Lightwood, and Walk in the Fire.
With its blend of ‘80s movie references, and a cast of characters driven by passion and obsession, Florida Hustle is a must-read for anyone seeking an unforgettable literary adventure.
Florida Hustle is available now at leading bookstores and Amazon.
