Fort Myers Author to Sign Books at Goodwill Book Store

Feb. 3, 2011 - PRLog -- W.C. Highfield, author of “In Sun Down Far” and “Streets,” will be signing copies of his novels on Saturday, February 12, 2011 at the Goodwill Donation Center & Book Store in Fort Myers (15165 McGregor Blvd.).  Highfield will sign and sell his books from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.

“In Sun Down Far” is the story of a Southwest Florida beach vendor.  Highfield, a Fort Myers resident, set the story on Fort Myers Beach, but fictionalized the names of locations and establishments, he says, “to protect the innocent and the guilty.”

His second novel, “Streets,” was completed in 2010.  “Streets” is set in Key West, and revolves around the life of a homeless man living on the streets of America’s quirkiest city.

Highfield will donate 40% of the proceeds from Saturday’s book signing back to Goodwill Industries of Southwest Florida (http://www.goodwillswfl.org).
