Miami author Carl Hiaasen is having a reading and signing at the Winter Park Borders on Wednesday, September 1, at 6:30 pm. He'll be discussing his latest novel, Star Island, which is about an actress, standing in for a derailed pop star, who finds herself stalked on South Beach by a crazed paparazzo – and befriended by an unhinged hermit who was once the governor of Florida.

A columnist for the Miami Herald since 1985, Hiaasen has written numerous novels, including Skinny Dip, Basket Case, and Paradise Screwed, as well as the children's books Flush and Hoot. The latter was turned into a film in 2006.
