As a former Florida Senator during the '70s and '80s, I participated in what political observers have described as the "Golden Era" of Florida politics.  I have written a book about my experiences, the Era, people and issues:  The Golden Years...The Florida Legislature, '70s and '80s, The 247 page hard cover book has been nominated for 2 national literary awards, and has been reviewed by the New York Times to ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX television networks, among others.  The book is under contract with PBS for production of a one hour television documentary.  The web site is:  www.goldenyearspoliticalcollection.com.
