Felix “The Cat” Seidler was an Olympic swimmer and lifeguard, who learned the art of wave riding from Duke Kahanamoku, the father of modern surfing. The family beach house was the epicenter of the 60’s surf phenomenon on the Northern California coast. This novel is a fictional tribute to that lost place and time.
The author and her husband live on the Marin inter-coastal with a menagerie of pets.
