Authors Nancy Sindelar, PhD. (left), and Denyse Woods (right) share a celebratory moment and slices of birthday cake in honor of literary legend Ernest Hemingway at the Custom House Museum Thursday evening. The sweet dessert was dished up by Key West Art & Historical Society staff and volunteers following an insightful presentation by Sindelar, an internationally acclaimed Hemingway scholar. Woods is an Inniscarra, County Cork, Ireland-based author whose 500-word story won her the Florida Keys Flash Fiction contest and a stint of writing in Hemingway’s own Key West studio office. Thursday marked the 117th anniversary of the revered late author’s birth.
