Praise for So Others May Live
“[…]In telling the story, you know this author knows not just about the Florida Keys, but the history and way the Coast Guard works, and their purpose. I don’t know why more people don’t write about them, but in this story, the reader is treated to action, adventure, twists you don’t see coming, and a theme of, you guessed it, treasure.

“[…] I give this 5 plus stars, not just because I am a big fan of B. William Hoolihan and want to read whatever this author writes, but because the various generations and back story bring reminisces of life, and a path, that sometimes we don’t choose, but it chooses us.

The narrator, Bill, tells the story of George and how he made an impact on his life, and sometimes, Bill was the one who knew when to say no. George was set in his life, smoking, drinking, and story telling. George and Bill embark on a quest to find Black Caesar, a legendary Pirate, and this sets the course for Bill’s passion with pirates and treasure hunting[…]” –Amy’s Bookshelf Reviews
