Although my writing is action/adventure fiction, it is largely based on my personal experiences and adventures. I have spent approx. 18 years of my life overseas, and have traveled to 132 countries, not as a tourist but as a traveler, truly getting to know the people, places and culture of the country I am visiting. I loved talking about travel with anyone that would listen, and would tell the tales of my adventures, often told I should write a book. I had always enjoyed writing, and would keep detailed travel journals that read more like novels than diaries. Writing action/adventure was a natural fit for me....I didn't have to imagine it....I had lived it. The Map, A Logan Nash Adventure is my first novel in what will become a series of Logan Nash adventures. The Map is a fast paced novel that will take you on an adventure to exotic lands on a non-stop rollercoaster ride charged with danger, romance, and betrayal. I'm also an bit of a scuba junkie, and I have logged over 2,000 dives. Wrecks are my main passion under the waves and I've explored over 800 shipwrecks....exploring caves is also another of my passions. I have a love of history, especially ancient civilizations and love exploring ruins...anywhere and everywhere! I'm an avid photographer both above and below the water, with a photography book planned for the future. I have a blog in which I discuss the topics of writing, editing, publishing, and marketing a new book , as well as a blog that I have set up to help new writers such as myself market their book . After all...the more places we can get our names out there the better!
