Tombolo Books in partnership with Writers in Paradise is thrilled to announce our event with FL author of IN THE PINK, Nicholas Garnett!

It’s the go-go 90s, but you’d never know it by Nicholas Garnett, who’s washed out of another corporate job, just scraping by playing drums in a wedding band and delivering roses in a tuxedo.That is until he meets the beautiful, worldly Rachael and her entourage of A-list gay friends. And from there Garnett&#x27;s unflinching memoir, In The Pink, dives headfirst into the turbulent, whirlwind life of endless parties and glamour Garnett thought he always wanted. Garnett will be in conversation with Les Standiford, Founding Director of the Florida International University Creative Writing Program, the Peter Meinke Chair in Creative Writing at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida, and the author of more than twenty works of fiction and nonfiction.Nicholas Garnett received his MFA in Creative Writing from Florida International University (FIU), where he was a two-time recipient of the school&#x27;s literary award in nonfiction. He has taught creative writing at FIU, the Miami Book Fair, and Writing Class Radio. He is the co-producer of the Miami-based live storytelling series, Lip Service: True Stories Out Loud. He is a recipient of residencies from the Vermont Studio Center and the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild, and fellowships to the Norman Mailer Art Colony and Writers in Paradise.Garnett is the editor of award-winning Zimbabwean writer Chenjerai Hove&#x27;s memoir, Homeless Sweet Home. His writing has appearedin Salon.com, Sliver of Stone, R-KV-RY Quarterly, The Florida Book Review; Truehumor.com, and anthologized in Sundress Publication&#x27;s “Best of the Net”; Tigertail, A South Florida Poetry Annual; Best Sex Writing (Cleis Press); Sliver of Stone’s nonfiction anthology All That Glitters; and the title story to Badass: Lip Service: True Stories, the Double Album.
