'Sandspurs' Is a New Book by Florida Columnist Mark Lane

Posted
By: Dave Astor A collection of columns by Daytona Beach (Fla.) News-Journal writer Mark Lane has just been published.

"Sandspurs: Notes from a Coastal Columnist" -- from the University Press of Florida -- includes photos by Lane and illustrations by News-Journal editorial cartoonist Bruce Beattie.

Beattie's cartoons are distributed by Creators News Service, and Lane's columns were formerly carried by Cox News Service.

His new 208-page book mostly consists of News-Journal columns written between 2000 and last year. They cover topics such as state politics, hurricanes, NASCAR, road trips, gardening, and beach culture -- often in a humorous way.

University Press is the official publisher for the Florida State University System, said Lane, who told E&P that his new book is part of "The Florida History and Culture Series."
