North Florida Book Signing

Kermit Marlin Brown’s My Life in North Florida: 12 Short Reads contains delightful autobiographical stories that take place along the rivers, lakes, and creeks across North Florida from Apalachicola to Tallahassee, Gainesville, and Jacksonville. They start in the mid-20th century with a nostalgic look at a community and a time gone by. Each story ends with a haiku poem and is illustrated with black and white photos. Brown is a native Floridian and is retired from a career in Florida Museums – Museum of Natural History and Museum of Florida.
