Eliot Kleinberg is a reporter for the Palm Beach Post during normal working hours, but he has found time to author and co-author seven other books, including his Weird Florida, first published in 1998. Since then, other authors have tried to copy his style and subject, but they cannot match Kleinberg's keen eye and sharp mind. Weird Florida II: In A State of Shock continues the great tradition of Kleinbergian humor and style.
Eliot is also the author of War In Paradise: Stories of World War II in Florida, a collection of essays about the Sunshine and the great war. From Nazi saboteurs on Ponte Vedra Beach to escaped POWs in the Everglades to American bombings of hapless civilians, War in Paradise is a "must have" addition to any Florida library.
Kleinberg is a Florida native and a two-time graduate of the University of Florida (Go, 'Gators!). He has worked as a television and radio reporter. He also worked for the Dallas Morning News before returning home to Florida in 1987. He lives with his wife and sons, Robert and Henry, in Boca Raton.
Kleinberg is available for signings, readings, lectures and radio-television appearances. To contact him, e-mail him at eliot@eliotkleinberg.com .
