Clownfish Blues
Clownfish Blues: A Novel | Tim Dorsey
6 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
A (Serge A.) Storm is brewing for a cabal of bad guys gaming the Florida state lottery in this insanely funny novel from the maestro of mayhem, Tim Dorsey. If you’re loud and proud Floridian Serge A. Storms, how do you follow up your very own remake of Easy Rider? You shoot your own "episodes" of your favorite classic television show, Route 66! With Coleman riding shotgun, Serge is rolling down the highway of his dreams in a vintage silver convertible Corvette just like the snazzy car Martin Milner drove. It doesn’t matter that the actual Route 66 didn’t pass through Florida, for Serge discovers that a dozen episodes near the series’ end were filmed (really!) in his beloved home state. So for Serge and the always toked and stoked Coleman, the Sunshine State is all the road you need to get your kicks. But their adventure traveling the byways of the Sunshine State’s underbelly is about to take a detour. Someone is trying to tilt the odds in the state lottery amidst a conga line of huge jackpots spinning off more chaos than any hurricane season. With this much at stake, of course every shady character wants in. Crooked bodega owners, drug cartels laundering money through the lottery, and venture capitalists are all trying to game the system—and lining up to get their cut. They’re also gambling with their lives, because when Serge and Coleman get hip to this timely (and very lucrative) trip, there’s no telling whose number is up next. Throw in Brooke Campanella, Serge’s old flame, as well as the perpetually star-crossed Reevis, and it’s a sure bet that the ever lucky Serge will hit it big. Winning has never been this deadly—or this much fun!

I‘m going to interview Tim Dorsey onstage at Bouchercon in a couple of weeks. Any Dorsey fans here? Let me know if you have a question you‘d like me to ask!

Even though he makes it sound like a terrible place to live, I love my Florida. Enjoying Epcot Flower and Garden Festival today.

I‘ve been feeling a little burnt out lately with work and life in general. We have a great vacation coming up next month which I‘m hoping will recharge my battery. It‘s frustrating being told you need to pay off your student loans! by some then being told you need to plan for retirement! by others. Just feel like I‘m being pulled in many different directions.
But Books! My refuge! My get away and my peace.

It‘s almost summer time here in Florida and we all know what that means... TIM DORSEY!

DGRachel I had hoped he would fill the Maximum Bob sized hole in my Floridian heart, but sadly I did not enjoy the first book in the Serge series at all. 😭 I‘m going to have to reread Elmore Leonard soon, to ease my homesickness instead. 7y
BoldCityBooks @DGRachel Keep Going because the first one isn‘t great but Books 2-7 are the best in the series! 7y
DGRachel @Nebula_of_Books That‘s good to know. I‘ll give him another shot, then. 😊 7y

As I'm listening to his latest novel I'm using this as my unofficial travel guide to Florida.

Visiting Weeki Wachee and starting a new Tim Dorsey novel. Not a coincidence.
