Lincoln the Art Thief

“Dale Dapkins can be bizarre … and that’s what I like about his writing.”
- Pamela Paige, editor and former feature writer, Florida Times-Union

“His imagination is still running wild.”
- L. Lougheed, Amazon reviewer

Although best known for his social science fiction, Dale Dapkins gives us a modern-day mystery that involves an art thief, a private eye, and Abraham Lincoln in a Key West setting. Dapkins unique voice makes him a prizewinning author to watch … no matter which genre he writes in.

Dale Dapkins served in the Peace Corps in Turkey in the late sixties. Apprenticing to an Armenian merchant, he became an independent antique oriental rug dealer. Writing came later. His first novel American Broccoli and Dr. Breast was published in 1988. He won the Grand Prize in the Lorian Hemingway Short Story Competition in 1999 and again the following year, a never-repeated feat.
