Paul Bomba came of age in Asbury Park in the 1960s and ‘70s. He played Little League baseball, attended Bond Street School, and spent summers pinballing and bodysurfing. By the time he graduated from Asbury High in 1974, he had an idea for a novel.
He envisioned a lighthearted tale about teenagers enjoying “Beach Life”, but writing had to wait until after careers as a college professor and business executive. When he finally wrote No Lifeguard on Duty, Paul was in his sixties and the idea had matured into a story about race, social class and the riots that rocked his hometown.
