My just released book

[headmount]

For some reason I'm picturing something more like this....

That's wild and might work well.  Covers are difficult but so important.  What makes the eye focus on a particular cover?  Color, font, image?  I thought writing a book was a challenge but the stuff afterwards is just as complex.

I'll post a separate thread when I print and send some signed copies out.  Thanks for the read.  I personally love my Kindle.  I the midst of moving and have tons of books that I've saved and never look at.  It's crazy how they are just so bulky.  Not a new gadget guy but Kindles I love.

I just finished reading Boyum's book again. It's a lot more powerful than when I read the early versions. Very well done and wow, what a challenging set of adventures and mishaps.

I like both covers but yeah the new idea adds some "edge"

And I will be in for a hard copy as soon as you get some done, I have recommend your book to several non surfing friends and they loved it.

Hey, hey, hey, no butting in line, I'm going for two signed copies. 
One for me, and one for a buddy that I grew up with that knew HM back in the day '69-'71, but is not part of this little society, even though he should be, he lives on the big island.
I'll PM you HM when your hard copy is ready.

I think if this book takes off like it should, that Mr. Headmount would have no problem writing a few more that fill in all the gaps. The shell-shock story is fine for this book, but my god, the whole founding of the surf camps in Indonesia and all the stuff that went on there is just a few pages. There are one or two books there. And then all the stuff that went on in those smuggling trips, and the time in Bali, and then the years in Maui, and all the folks that make up the fabric of surfing in the 60 to the nineties--all those guys know Bill and he knows them. Surfed with them, lived with them, got fucked up with them. I'm thinking there's five to ten books there--before you start writing novels.

Heh, no it's a Bill, another Bill, another Navy brat (in a good way, a bro), his dad was in the silent service.  We grew up together in San Diego, he moved over to Maui after graduating from high school in the summer of '68, with a couple of his buddies from the same school, I think they were Tim McCoy and Mike Burns, that's testing my memory though, I was in a different high school.  They all enrolled into Maui Community College, a fine institution of higher learning, all they wanted to do was surf, I couldn't blame them, but I stayed In SD.  He is Bill Leisk (Hawi, Big Is.), very blond hair, a total waterman/builder in all respects.
He says that he remembers you from the water/beach/around but isn't sure if you remembers him, but he is very interested in your book, so I'm going to make sure he gets a copy.  He was in Maui for a number of years after MCC, met his wife there, then moved to Boston where she was from.  What is it with the Boston area / Maui connection, I don't get it?  Anyway that's frozen water under the bridge and he's back on the big island now, has been for awhile, couldn't handle the frozen water, besides he was born in Hawaii originally, it never left his blood.

Headmount: I just wanted to drop a note to express my sincere thanks and appreciation in having finished your book.

I honestly have never been so moved...several times to tears.  I started the read this past on Sunday and finished last night....two days, which is defintely the quickest I've ever read any book.  Your story has resonated deeply....

I'd be honored to have a signed copy of your book in my collection.  Please let me know if/when a hardcopy will be available for purchase.

Warm Regards,

Absolutely.  I'll begin another thread titled Hardcopy.  Formatting is almost complete.  Thanks for the read and great review.  If I have created any understanding then I'm stoked.  PTSD is a real issue.

Headcount,

Just finished your book. Enjoyed it.

Many aspects of the story resonated and caused me to reflect on my childhood and the impact my military career has had on my family.

Congrats on a fine effort.

Paul
