Surf's Up

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
This is too well written, gives me too much of a picture of what my friends did and survived in the sixties. Many survived for years but the PTSD got them in the end. You did an excellent job of telling about Mike Boat Mike and his adventures, almost as if you had been there. If you weren't, you have a great deal of talent. Best of luck with this in the contest.

Surfs Up part two - 'The Knot' is the follow up to 'Surfs Up' where the Mike Boat Mike was wounded. Some readers wanted to know what happened to him. Was he able to surf again? This story, 'The Knot' provides the answer. I hope you enjoy it and I look forward to your constructive criticism.

Dear mystery writer: there is so much detail and what I figure are army acronyms leads me to believe that this is based on some true facts and not just a general function story. It was powerful and moving. I was captivated from the start. I wonder what became of Mike boat Mike. Does he survive his injuries? Does he get to surf again? Thank you for sharing this with us.

Blondie, Blondie, Blondie. Does Mike Boat Mike get to surf again? That issue is addressed in 'Surfs Up' part two; 'The Knot.' As soon as the contest is over I will publish part two. I think you will like it.
All the best.
