WITH THE PASSING OF MEN LIKE RUSS PULLANO, WE'RE SEEING OUR REMAINING PT VETERANS SLIPPING AWAY ONE BY ONE. THE "ALL HANDS" NEWSLETTER IS INCREASINGLY 'LAST PATROL' REPORTS AND 90th BIRTHDAY PHOTOS. HOW DO WE KEEP THE PT BOAT LEGEND FROM FADING AWAY WITH THE PASSAGE OF TIME?
SOME OF YOU GUYS HAVE READ MY FIRST NOVEL "JUST LUCKY ENOUGH" AND THE SEQUEL ''BLACK MARBLE" AND HAVE GIVEN IT PRETTY GOOD REVIEWS. THE FIRST BOOK IS NOW AVAILABLE ON KINDLE FOR $1.99 AND THE SECOND WILL BE SOON.
I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, IS THERE A MARKET FOR GOOD PT BOAT FICTION? I'M TALKING ABOUT BELIEVABLE TRUE-LIFE STORIES WITH A NICKEL'S WORTH OF 'WHAT IF' ALTERNATE HISTORY.
I FIGURE YOU GUYS WOULD BE THE PEOPLE TO ASK.

As a publisher of two PT BOAT BOOKS, I feel you can never get enough history. With the passing of our veterans, it is very important to tell their stories, and what better way to do so, then with more books. I hope to be working on a third book at some point, so if your publisher is willing, do it................

I agree with Frank. My specialty is actually culinary writing. Ten books on that topic, two books for kids and one military culinary history book in the hands of the publisher. That military book will most likely be the smallest "money" maker for me but it will be the one I hold close to my heart! If you feel the need to write another PT book, do so. There have been alternative history genre books on larger ships and situations, why not a PT?
