Jimmy Buffett is doing more than just singing about “Margaritaville” these days. He has a book of short stories out entitled “Tales From Margaritaville--Fictional Facts and Factual Fictions” and six of the songs on his latest album, “Off to See the Lizard,” are based on stories from that book. The book, which is dedicated to his parents, is described as two parts autobiography and one part fiction and is his second published work. Last year, Buffett and his daughter, Savannah Jane, collaborated on a children’s book, “The Jolly Mon,” and they have another coming in 1990.
