of the Marlin the second published novel from
author and screenwriter Mark Fiorito was honored
as a 2012 finalist in the General Fiction
category at the 18th annual San Diego Book and
Writing Awards. Kiss of the Marlin is the story
of Casey Doran ordinary man. So ordinary in
fact that his life has become stuck in neutral.
Inflexibility coupled with a narrow perspective
has left no room for actions that might change
his life. That is until he decides to vacation
in a seaside village of Cabo San Lucas on the
Baja Peninsula. Through Dorans story Fiorito
explores how circumstances and serendipity force
Casey to break from his stifling mold - leading
him to discover a new awareness of himself.

Caseys ultimate challenge is to find the courage
to take advantage of an unusual confluence of
events and odd characters he encounters along the
way. A deep sea fishing trip a mythical Indian
legend and the influence of the strange
assortment of people he meets all combine to give
Casey the jolt his life has been missing. Finding
a little romance along the way doesnt hurt
either. In what becomes a decidedly unordinary
adventure Casey sheds his old self and reemerges
as a man who understands that taking action is
what drives life in the direction he wishes to
travel. By the end of this romantic fantasy
Casey realizes that to live life fully he can no
longer always make the safe choice. In fact life
can never be magical enchanting and full of love
without following unknown paths and flirting with
danger. Published in December 2011 Fioritos
