Storms report
He's an ardent defender of his state's heritage, a scholar of his state's history, and a seeker of justice toward those who would despoil his state's natural wonders. His university lectures drew the largest crowds ever assembled at one university. His cogent discourses on economic incentives and development can transform passive "residents" into responsible citizens. He is the epitome of nonpartisanship, yet his encyclopedic knowledge of politics through the generations makes it seem as if he were born to a life of public service.
And, he's a serial killer. Perhaps the most entertaining serial killer to leap from the page into your imagination.
He's Serge Storms, the creation of author Tim Dorsey, and he may well become your favorite fictional character, the way he has become mine.
We're forming two reading groups right now who will read the Dorsey ouvre along two tracks. Collectively, the groups will constitute the Serge Storms Historical Research & Debating Society, part of a year-long communal reading project. We'll read all 7 Serge Storms novels, and society members will get special pricing on the set, including an autographed copy of Tim's February hardcover release, Torpedo Juice.
Follow Serge's saga with us. Sign up in person, by e-mail, or carrier pigeon, and answer the question "Can I draw life lessons from a psychopath?"
Oh, and did I mention that Serge is the funniest character you'll ever read about?

Had you ever heard of Tim Dorsey or Serge Storms before the store opened?
Much to my surprise (and delight), I read that one of the NAFC Public Library's book discussion groups will take on one of Dorsey's books this winter, too.
We're going to fall short of being an "All Dorsey, All The Time" bookstore, but we are going to bring Tim here at some future date and the only way we can do that is to create some buzz about Dorsey and his books.
The Serge Storms Historical Research & Debating Society members(SHREDDERS) will also be at the head of the line for a private reception with Tim when he makes his appearance here in New Albany.
