The Kasermans are pirate authors and enthusiasts.
The authors will donate a portion of the proceeds from Saturday’s book signing back to Goodwill Industries of Southwest Florida (http://www.goodwillswfl.org).
“It’s going to be a lot of fun,” says Goodwill Store Manager Michele Prox-Foos. “They dress up as pirates, and she plays the fiddle, too. So it’s not just a book signing, it’s entertainment.”
The Kasermans have been Fort Myers residents since 1985, and have more than 70 combined years in the education field. Their interest in pirates has led to three novels, “Gasparilla Pirate Genius;” “The Legend of Gasparilla, A Tale for All Ages;” and “How the Pirates Saved Christmas.” Their non-fiction book, “Pirates of Southwest Florida, Fact and Legend” is used in their teaching with the Florida Gulf Coast University Renaissance Academy.
