Beach Blanket Bonanza

Revisit the wild and carefree era of surfing and beach parties in Southern California as reflected in the unrealistic but wildly popular movies of the early sixties. In a humorous novel, the cast reunites at Comic-Con 35 years later and all is not sunshine and love as times and personalities have changed over time. It’s a wild romp that covers two eras, a dozen actors, and produces laughter with every turn of the page in a fast and hilarious flashback. 

It was the summer of 1963 and one movie crashed into the world of teen America. After that, nothing would ever be the same. With babes in bikinis and tanned, muscled guys slicing through Southern California waves, the “Beach Blanket” phenomena exploded onto the scene and instantly everyone in America—from Minneapolis to North Platte—became a bitchin’ beach boy or a bronzed beach bunny. 

That was the first of eleven memorable surf movies that rewrote the script for an entire generation. Then came along Comic-Con and the 35th Reunion of the cast of those cult classics and, well, no one could have predicted what would happen next. Take a wild ride back in time with Beach Blanket Bonanza—a novel that will have you howling “Cowabunga” and leave you with a warm and happy heart. It’s been called “The Perfect Summer Read!”

    “Don’t stop writing! We hope you have a few more stories up your sleeve! Keep ‘em coming!”

  2. Craig Y.

    “Having grown up in the sixties, I enjoyed every page of this book as I drifted back into remembering those silly Beach Party movies with Frankie and Annette and all of the great times they represented. What a wonderful slice of nostalgia woven into a novel.”

  3. Susan M.

    “If you like to laugh then this is a must-read. I found that I was embarrassing myself by laughing out loud. This is one feel-good story.”

  4. Luis N.

    “Memorable characters that come alive on the pages. It all felt so real that I found myself researching the movies. That’s when you know you’re in a great book! Give us more!”

  5. Cory S.

    “Like he showed us in ‘Catfish Grill,’ no one disguises fiction with fact quite like Jerry Jamison.”

  6. Diane W.

    “Three of SoCal’s iconic and wacky worlds—60s beach culture, Comic-Con, and Hollywood—expertly woven together in the pages of this fascinating Book!”
