@SNUGGUMS: recently removed Carl Hiaasen's photo from this page with the comment "questionable licensing." @SNUGGUMS: thanks for your concern, but Wikipedia has full permission to use that photo here and Carl Hiaasen has personally requested that it be put back. Please replace it. I'm Carl's Internet/social media consultant. It was taken by his son and he has provided full rights to use it on Wikipedia. This is the second time it has been taken down, apparently for intellectual-property concerns, but the author and photographer have granted rights to use it here and have requested that they do so. I would undo the removal myself, but as Carl's employee I am not permitted to edit his page as per Wikipedia COI rules. If you wish to verify my identity as Carl's representative you can see my name credited at Carlhiaasen.com, or you may confirm any of this with his publicist or publisher, whose contact information is provided there. Thanks. Seanjsavage (talk) 00:07, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

As far as the editors of this page know, Mr. Hiaasen is not affiliated with this page. For the kids that keep leaving contact information for him to contact you with, that is a very bad idea. This is not a forum to get in contact with Mr. Hiaasen so do not leave anymore messages on here about doing so.
This is a talk page to talk about improving the Carl Hiaasen article on wikipedia.Chexmix53 (talk) 23:03, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
"It has been generally agreed that for newcomers to Hiaasen's bizarre world, Tourist Season is the best place to start."
Generally by whom? What makes it the "best place to start"? Paul Tracy
OK I've removed it. Paul Tracy
I need to get ahold of Mr. Hiaasen for a school project, and I figured here was as good a place as any to start. Can anyone find it? Because I sure can't. kekenkenka 22:21, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
I feel that Lucky You (novel) does warrant its own article. It seems that novels are subjects for Wikipedia articles if they are of note. Alan Liefting 07:24, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Huh? Why are Dave Barry and Elmore Leonard listed under this category? Barry is a humorist, not a crime-fiction writer, and Elmore Leonard has lived and worked in Michigan, not Florida. So I don't get it.

Mr. Hiaasen was interviewed on NPR today.
I'm looking for a link.

"Oddly" married a real estate agent in the "formerly pristine Florida Keys"? This needs to go- A discussion of Hiaasen's strong pro-preservation views should factor in the article - but a local real estate agent is hardly a sinister developer bulldozing over endangered owls- and the keys were "formerly pristine" long before Hiaasen ever met his current wife...NOT TO MENTION HE HAS A HOUSE THERE! (HIS PRIMARY RESIDENCE)...so why don't we cut the misplaced/opinionated/conclusory/idiotic phrasing about his wife and the diddy about the "pristine" Florida Keys- K? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.41.60.81 (talk) 01:24, 19 December 2006 (UTC).
The phrase "exposing schemes to destroy Florida's natural beauty for the sake of profit" appears to be highly biased and accepts as a premise that profiteers in Florida have a first goal of destroying "Florida's natural beauty" and only secondarily as a reason..."for the sake of profit." This is a viewpoint, and not a fact. This could be written conversly that Mr. Carl Hiaasen is firstly trying to destroy profit, and only secondarily as a reason "to save Florida's natural beauty." There shouldn't be so much room for editorial viewpoints in an encyclopedia - perhaps this point could be better served by explaining Mr. Carl Hiaasen's factual views on environmental issues, and leave such editorializing out of his biography. (Or have I missed some secret underground movement where pannelists sit around in underground bunkers discussing and creating "schemes to destroy Florida's natural beauty?") —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.201.182.235 (talk) 13:53, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
"Hiaasen's Florida is a hive of greedy businessmen, corrupt politicians, dumb blondes, apathetic retirees, intellectually challenged tourists, hard-luck redneck cooters, and militant ecoteurs. It is the same Florida of John D. MacDonald and Travis McGee, but aged another 20 years and viewed with a more satiric or sardonic eye." This should be removed. Very POV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.14.219.215 (talk) 20:57, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
