Wilborn is working on a new book, and just debuted a 2nd edition of Cigar City on its 5th year anniversary.  Florida Hustle continues to be a favorite, featuring aspiring filmmaker Michael Donnelly has two obsessions. One is Italian horror movies and the other is Dawn Karston, a teen-age scream-queen, known for dying horribly in a string of cheap slasher flicks. Michael, who shares a Palm Beach mansion with his defense contractor father, believes Dawn deserves better material and that he is just the 17-year-old for the job. He is available for book clubs, speaking engagements and readings.  https://wilbornwrites.com/contact/
