Surf's Up in the City of Angels

James Scott LaFon has both lived in and visited California in the past but now reservedly calls New Mexico home. He taught Special Education in the New Mexico Public Schools, worked construction for years, spent four years in the United States Coast Guard and a year as an Albuquerque Police Department dispatcher. He likes to travel (scotttreks.com) and posts travel videos on YouTube (On the Road in New Mexico). When he takes a writing break he plays good golf some days, wails jazz standards on his alto saxophone, and never touches a surfboard even though he constantly dreams about the ocean.

In writing this first novel, Scott fell in love with all the characters, their lives, and their entourage. He would love to see a mover and shaker find humor and drama in this literary effort and take it to places its author hasn’t yet imagined.
