Book excerpt: Set primarily in Pass-a-Grille, a small community at the southern-most tip of the barrier islands separating Pinellas County, Florida, from the Gulf of Mexico, 'None So High' follows a group of young men and women who came of age in mid-1960's and early 70's, those heady times when the physical and social environment of the island’s laid-back and free-thinking lifestyle encouraged them to establish careers in what came to be known as ‘The Trade’ – trafficking marijuana. Their lives were an ongoing adventure, risking their liberty - and their lives - taking them to often remote and occasionally exotic places to meet interesting if often dangerous people, and making (or sometimes losing) small fortunes in the process. “None So High” focuses on three of them - brothers - who together with their Father formed a small ‘enterprise' which grew through successes and set-backs, confronting rival traffickers, corrupt cops, treacherous suppliers - and coping with the major changes in their values. The incidents related in the novel actually took place, although I took some liberties with their presentation. The locations are real. The characters portrayed are also real – I grew up with them, worked with them, and knew them well. The names have been altered, for obvious reasons.
