They love Mark Lane in Florida. The longtime columnist for the Daytona Beach News-Journal drew highly favorable comments about his book, “Sandspurs.” One critic called him “the best thing to come out of Daytona since Bike Week.” Another noted that “he makes us laugh at our own misadventures.”
Lane was a featured speaker at an April 8 program sponsored by the Friends of the Ormond Beach Library. In an announcement of his appearance, the group referred to Lane as “an Ormond Beach treasure.”
Among his many writing awards are three from the NSNC and seven from the Florida Society of Newspaper Editors.
