Great adventure, humor, & social satire merge in this hilarious novel by author Frank Mosco!

Among the author's fondest memories of his resident beach bum days in old St. Augustine are those times when he sat with friends in the Trade Winds Lounge listening to the entertaining music and stories of two troubadours by the name of Gamble Rogers and Jimmy Buffett. Was there a better way to top off a day in the surf?

Singer story teller Gamble Rogers decided to forgo the trappings of national fame and stick around, becoming a local entertainment treasure and sadly, an eventual hero when he died while saving a drowning victim. As for that young man Jimmy Buffett, well we all know what happened to him.

"I guess you could say I'm one of the orginal Jimmy Buffett fan Parrot Heads," says author Frank Mosco, referring to those early days.

Inspired by those memories and a dedicated fondness for Jimmy and his music, the author pulls out all the stops to create the novel Searching for Jimmy Buffett, a hilarious book of adventure and social commentary that, not unlike a great Buffett concert, is an experience that will have you smiling long after the book is closed.

Strap yourself in for

Bean & Fruitcake's incredible journey!

Book Scenario -Sister Moonbeam-Goom-jigi, a hallucinatory, burned out, hippy flower child of the 60’s, wrongfully thinks her late in life son is the by-product of an imagined one night stand with Jimmy Buffett. Years later on her deathbed her final words inadvertently send her son, 14 year old James "Bean" Buffett Jr., on a quest to find his namesake famous father. And so the naive home-schooled socially inexperienced young Bean and his scraggly little one eared telepathic dog Fruitcake, embark on an incredible adventure in his mother’s car the Celestial Rocket, an oddly painted 1955 Nash Metropolitan convertible. From old St. Augustine, Florida they head south to all points weird, leaving behind an estranged despicable uncle conspiring to steal a fortune the young boy doesn’t even know he has.

During their travels Bean and Fruitcake collect three colorful companions in the persons of; Chi Chi, an illegal alien Cuban girl and resourceful fast thinking wannabe movie star who is pursued by agents of Fidel Castro, and Roachie, a homeless vagrant genius who thinks he’s stupid because he lost a billion dollar high-tech enterprise, and the ever strange Boner Jones, a mysterious multi-talented impersonator and paranoid schizophrenic conspiracy theorist with an ancient secret.

Their quest and travels take them to a number of places where Bean and company encounter and have to deal with bizarre characters and situations that include; dangerous surf Nazis, killer Haitian drug runners, members of a Cuban underground, a Parrot Head extremist cult, incompetent Mexican pirates, mysterious Bayou gypsies, extreme California crackpots, and more - all the while being pursued by a hit man Catholic priest.

Searching for Jimmy Buffett is a hilarious politically incorrect book full of non-stop humor that increases your interest with each page. One book you surely don't want to pass up.
