Under the Panther Moon- Welcome to the REAL Florida

This book has made me laugh, cry, and feel good about being a Floridian. Rick Dantzler knows what Florida is made up of, the special parts left, and the hope still inside us to save Florida's magnificent wilderness. If you're a Floridian, read this book and know your roots, if you're not from Florida, learn about the true parts, not some nightclub in Miami Beach. Happy Reading! ~E

How to live and make the environment better in Florida!

Rick Dantzler has written dazzling short stories about how to live. And he has written incisive commentaries about Florida's endangered waterways. His heros are sportsmen with the emphasis on men. The hunters and fishermen of his yarns are kind, decent people and the lesson Dantzler wants us to understand is simple. Good people can make a difference if they work at it. Buy this book; it is unlike anything you have ever read before.

The Stories and Commentaries of a Man Who Cares.

Unlike any collection of short stories you have ever read, "Under the Panther Moon" is Rick Dantzler's personal vision of Florida, his family, his dreams, and the hard truth -- told with a gentle touch. Interspersed among the riveting tales of fishing and hunting and loved ones, are all-too-real naratives of Florida's endangered waterways. And Dantzler should know after nearly sixteen years in the Florida legislature and a run at the Governor's office in 1998. All of this from the pen of a man who reveres place and tradition second only to human decency. Read this book today.
