He is known for a series starring Serge A. Storms, a mentally disturbed vigilante antihero who rampages across Florida enforcing his own moral code against a variety of low-life criminals. Dorsey grew up in Riviera Beach, a small town in Palm Beach County just north of West Palm Beach. Dorsey attended Auburn University, where he became the editor of The Auburn Plainsman, the student newspaper; he wrote about racism while at Auburn. Dorsey graduated in 1983 with a Bachelor's degree in Transportation. In 1987, Dorsey relocated to Tampa, Florida, and became a reporter for The Tampa Tribune. Until he resigned from the paper in 1999 to write full-time, he worked variously as political reporter, correspondent in the Tribune's Tallahassee bureau, copy desk editor, and, finally, night metro editor and news coordinator. Most of Dorsey's novels feature Serge A. Storms as the primary character. The character has several coexisting mental illnesses that render him obsessive, psychopathic, schizophrenic, and frequently homicidal, but Storms serves as the anti-hero in Dorsey's works due to his strong sense of moral absolutism and justice. Serge is intelligent, and devises wildly inventive ways of condemning villains (or at least who he perceives as such) to death. His co-pilot in most of his adventures is Coleman, whose personality is the exact opposite of Serge. Serge Storms, the lovable serial-killing Florida enthusiast from Tim Dorsey's novels (including Florida Roadkill) has been all over the state, describing interesting places that are often off the beaten path. This is a photo collection of some of the places described in the first 13 books of the Serge series. Condition: Very good.
