COVERING BUFFETT

by Steve Sanders

Beck Rowan needs a change of scenery. He lost his job in Charlotte as a result of corporate down-sizing and his relationship with Liz Seigal is going nowhere. If there was ever a time to pursue the dream of living in the Conch Republic and pay the rent by singing Jimmy Buffett songs in a water-front bar, this was it. After a few wild days in Ft. Lauderdale with his college roommate, Beck's life began changing as he drove along the Seven Mile Bridge through the Florida Keys. Upon reaching his final destination of Key West, his plan was to get a quick bite to eat and then look for a place to live. He turned right on Caroline Street, parked his car and happened to see a sign for an apartment for rent in front of one of those "old Key West" style homes with the name "The Dalliance" painted on the sign anchored in the front lawn. He bounded the three steps to the front door and entered a lobby that could have been his grandmother's home back in Ohio. A few seconds after ringing the little tin bell on the front desk, Jeannie Fireman appeared from a back room but Beck could only stand there and stare at an aura surrounding this beautiful young woman. He didn't fully understand what was happening in those first few moments but the changes in his life were, at once, permanent.

Excellent read. Favorite new writer. Sanders brought his A game on this tale.

One of the best, feel good stories I've read in years. Although somewhat unbelievable at times, too good to be true stuff. He still delivers a knockout read with his characters. I'm a pretty tough guy, pro fighter and really don't cry much. I did with this book. Some sad but mostly joy. Looking forward to more of his books in the future. Highly recommend this author.

Definitely captured Key West in not only the ambiance of the island but it's people as well. I love Key West and can't wait to get back there. Very good read.
