The Rolly Report: A Florida Dark Comedy Novel

Florida creates ecosystems that should not survive. Not biologically. Not morally. Not according to most insurance carriers. It takes unstable weather, suspicious zoning decisions, discount liquor, unresolved family trauma, wet drywall, aggressive retirees, churches with mold in the hymnals, and enough humidity to make a man confess to crimes he only considered committing, and somehow turns all of it into a functioning coastal community with a seafood festival and a Facebook page. This story takes place in one of those towns. A little beach community on the Florida Gulf Coast where the churches flood twice a year, the bars advertise prayer breakfasts, every condo has a name like Blessed Tides at Serenity Pointe, and every third business is either selling boiled shrimp, laundering money, or doing both under a fake nonprofit called something like "Harbor Hope Ministries." This is where you will meet Rolly. Minister.
