Tampa author Tim Dorsey will receive the John D. MacDonald Award for Excellence in Florida Fiction today in a ceremony at the Selby Public Library. John D. MacDonald scholar Cal Branche will present the award, followed by comments from the author and a question and answer session with the audience. Beginning at 2:30pm, the event is free and open to the public.
As part of the Sarasota County Libraries and Historical Resources’, ”One Book One Community” ongoing celebration of the 100th anniversary of MacDonald’s birth, the gathering follows last Friday’s kickoff event with Branche and authors John Jakes, James Hall and Don Bruns.
Dorsey will become only the seventh recipient in the award’s 24-year history, joining past winners such as Elmore Leonard and Randy Wayne White.
