Hal O’Boyle fled New England in the seventies for Key West, Florida. He
settled there because the road ended and local legend had it that
large, sodden bales of marijuana floated up onto the public beaches at
night. The bale tales were greatly exaggerated, forcing him into
business to secure reliable supplies of pizza, beer, and bullets.
He
spent thirty years in Key West ending up, like everyone else, in the
real estate business. In 2006, he moved to San Jose, Costa Rica, where
he now lives with his wife, two teen aged sons, 3 big fat chickens and Winston, 65 lbs of Valley Bulldog love.
He is the author of Democracy: The Painted Whore, an Extremist Explains War, Drugs, Guns, God, Gold and Santa Clause.
He writes a weekly column for Key West The Newspaper and various disreputable online publications. iPura vida!
