Friday Morning Man: Johnny Diaz!
My friend and fellow journalist Johnny Diaz was kind enough to send me a copy of his latest novel, Looking For Providence, during the summer and I read it from cover to cover.
How great to read a smart, funny and sexy story of two gay men, best friends, and their adventures over an unpredictable summer.
After reading the book – the latest in a series of terrific novels Johnny has written over the years, I suggested we do a Q&A for the blog which I never got around to.
My bad!
I still hope to do it but until then, I thought I’d make my handsome friend with such a wonderful smile today’s Morning Man.
Johnny has been working for major newspapers for many years now getting his start at the Miami Herald before going to work for The Boston Globe. He recently returned to his home state of Florida as a features reporter at the South Florida Sun Sentinel in Fort Lauderdale.
His previous novels are Boston Boys Club, Miami Manhunt, Beantown Cubans and Take the Lead. The Spanish version of Take the Lead is called Tomar La Iniciativa. His website is Beantown Cuban and you can order a copy of his book HERE.
I almost don’t have to mention this but I will anyway: Johnny appeared in episodes of The Real World: Miami in the 90s because he was dating male cast member (Dan Renzi).
That cute young guy from that MTV show has gone on to accomplish so much and I’m proud to know him!
