Surfing at Good Harbor Beach

Surfing at Good Harbor Beach plays a role in the mystery at the center of Burning Questions. Last month I asked Joey C, the guru of the blog GoodMorningGloucester to ask his followers whether they knew anyone who claimed to have surfed there prior to 1963. No one responded. The picture above is of me surfing there in 1964, but I rode my first wave there in 1963. I've never been first before, but until someone steps up with evidence that they rode waves at Good Harbor, or anywhere in Cape Ann for that matter before 1963, I'm laying claim to being the first.

BURNING QUESTIONS HOLIDAY TWO FOR ONE DEAL!

What will it take to put YOU between the virtual covers of a brand new e-copy of Burning Questions? Amazon is now selling it for only $3.99.

There’s murder, Russian roulette, burning hotels, Mafia, a NAZI general’s overcoat, a ghost town, witches, wild doggies, some sex, surfing, cops and donuts, crooked politicians and lawyers, some religion, a little bit of marijuana and pizza. It’s just the right length to read on a single plane trip across the country. Why settle for a crappy airline movie when you can read about all this good stuff? Part Two of this trilogy, A Shot in the Arm is coming up in April . Why not read part one first? Do you really want to be Left Behind?

Buy one before Jan. 1, 2012 and I’ll give you a second copy free. So when you give that certain somebody that new Kindle this holiday season, they can have something to read on it. Buy one on Amazon. (Here's their link, so you hardly have to lift a finger: buy Burning Questions. ) When Amazon sends you an order confirmation, email a copy to me at barrywilldorf@gmail.com with the email address of the person to whom you want me to send the gift copy. I will send them a copy. That's it: two copies for $3.99.
