| What Are Friends For? is the sequel to Bogie's Rules. The story follows Zachariah T. Bogan, an itinerant surf lifeguard, who wanders from beach job to beach job in the late 1940s and '50s.
Although a fictional character, "Bogie" represents the real men who worked East Coast beaches in the summer and Southern beaches in the winter in the "good old days."
Bogie finds himself in Florida working for the Ft. Lauderdale Beach Patrol during the winter season. His personal philosophy of life involves him in an adventure he would never have believed possible. Bogie meets and falls for a beautiful, smart, and wealthy businesswoman from Washington, D.C. When she disappears, Bogie enlists his brother and his friends, who all have military experience and are trained in subversive combat tactics.
The clues lead the group to beaches that span South Florida to a remote island in the South Atlantic, and surprisingly into the world of Russian human trafficking. The group faces continual danger, only to find that all the loyalty and training in the world couldn't prepare them for the book's stunning conclusion.
J.T. "Lucky" Jordan spent his formative years in West Virginia and Washington, D.C. Following a hitch in the Navy and a few years in construction, the former competitive swimmer and water polo player returned to his love of water and became a swim instructor, coach, and aquatic administrator. He settled in Ft. Lauderdale in the early fifties, where he held numerous city positions, starting as a lifeguard before retiring as the city's assistant utilities director. After retirement, the author moved his family to Titusville, Florida. He passed away in June 2015.
