Recent is the spin-off from his series, Crime Almost Pays. It features Dubbie Tanner and Wiley Fecko, characters introduced in earlier Rutledge books who have formed a private-eye company, Southernmost Aristocratic Investigations. Tanner and Fecko played supporting roles in Corcoran’s mystery, “The Quick Adios (Times Six).”
Tom has lived in Florida for over 40 years, with ten of those years in Key West, and four years on Cudjoe Key. In addition to co-writing the Jimmy Buffett favorites, “Cuban Crime of Passion” and “Fins,” he has been a bartender, a U.S. Navy officer, a professional photographer, a screenwriter, and an automotive magazine editor. His photos appeared on seven Jimmy Buffett album covers, and his portraits of Thomas McGuane, Winston Groom, Les Standiford, and James W. Hall have appeared on numerous book dust jackets. Over 160 of Tom’s photos of the 1970s and 1980s were collected in 2008’s award-winning book, “Key West in Black and White.”
Corcoran also wears the hat of a publisher, producing and distributing titles such as “The Railroad That Died at Sea,” “Yesterday’s Florida Keys,” “Key West and the Spanish-American War,” “Papa Hemingway in Key West,” and “Jimmy Buffett – the Key West Years.” Tom has collaborated with singer-songwriter John Frinzi on lyrics for at least ten songs in Frinzi’s catalogue–including his popular songs “Shoreline,” and “Paradise, Quickly.”
The lectures will be available for viewing following the presentations through the Friends of the Key West Library website.
