To the guardians of morality in Clay County, Florida who removed my books FLUSH and SKINK--NO SURRENDER from school libraries, I've got only one question: Why did this take so long?
You folks are obviously asleep at the wheel.
Better late than never, I guess, and it's definitely an honor to be included on any list of banned authors that features Judy Blume, Rick Riordan, and other notoriously popular corrupters of young minds.
So, thank you. (P.S. I've written many other novels you might wish to consider for future book bans. They're available for your righteous inspection on my website, carlhiaasen.com.)
