Encore: Florida summer reading series

In a rebroadcast of The Florida Roundup's special ‘Florida summer reading’ edition from May 22, we speak with two Florida-based authors.

In No Ordinary Bird, Artis Henderson writes about her father, a pilot involved in a South Florida drug smuggling operation in the 1970s and 80s who died in a plane crash — a crash that she survived.

The Purple Ribbon, the debut novel from writer Kip Lyman, is a psychological thriller set in Fort Pierce. The story follows two separate individuals manipulated by an evil, otherworldly force.
