Hal O'Boyle fled New England in the seventies for Key West, Florida. He settled there because the road ended and local legend had it that large, sodden bales of marijuana floated up onto the public beaches at night. The bale tales were greatly exaggerated, forcing him into business to secure reliable supplies of pizza, beer, and bullets.
He spent thirty years in Key West ending up, like everyone else, in the real estate business. In 2006, he moved to San Jose, Costa Rica, where he now lives with his wife, two teen aged sons, 3 big fat chickens and Winston, 65 lbs of Valley Bulldog love.
He is the author of Democracy: The Painted Whore, an Extremist Explains War, Drugs, Guns, God, Gold and Santa Clause.
He writes a weekly column for Key West The Newspaper and various disreputable online publications. iPura vida!
