Meet Paul Bomba, author of No Lifeguard on Duty and hear the "story behind the story".

His book takes place in the summer of 1970 when racial unrest in Asbury Park sends three teenage friends into turmoil.

It was awarded Best First Book - Fiction by the Independent Book Publishers Association Benjamin Franklin Award and Best New Fiction Nation Indie Excellence Award.

Copies of No Lifeguard on Duty are available at Asbury Book Co-op, Booktowne, Comfort Zone, Thunder Road Books or from online booksellers. An ebook is also available.

Paul C. Bomba embarks on a third career with his debut novel, No Lifeguard on Duty. The idea for the story traveled with him from his youth in Asbury Park through his first act as a psychology professor, and then through thirty years in business. His academic research of behavior and the senses helped him create the book’s compelling characters, intricate plot lines, and vivid descriptions. He resided in Asbury during the No Lifeguard era and brings personal insights to the storytelling.
