Leaving Oz

Not a real tourist friendly place, but then I'm not a real tourist.

A few scenes from my travels:

An abandoned village

 The minarets

The Citadel

Shepherds

Today I was....

Sitting in the desert watching the wind blow…. 

An epiphany….  The green solution to all of our transportation needs

Introduction

I have always loved to read.  In my youth I voraciously read every tale of adventure I could find from the biographies of war heroes, frontiersmen and adventurers to the fictional works of Alistair MacLean, Jack Higgins and the like.  The stories of daring exploits spurred my imagination distracting me at school and invading my dreams.  I just always assumed that life would be full of adventure.  I would live it and then write about it.  Though my life has been interesting it probably wouldn't sell very many books.  Fortunately I still have my imagination.  Day dreams still interrupt my work but now I write them down.

My first novel, Last Chance, is now for sale at Amazon.com in the Kindle Store.

Dive into intrigue and romance.  Be transported to exotic Southeast Asia and join Ian McEdwards, a down-on-his-luck American businessman living in Malaysia, as he weathers storms, outwits terrorist, and falls in love, all while looking for clues to the location of a sunken shipload of gold.

Ian works as a freelance international business consultant. That is how he earns a living. But his passion is SCUBA diving and the search for the wreck of the legendary treasure ship Sunchaser. Desperate for business, Ian unknowingly takes a client that is in actuality a money-laundering front for Abu Sayyaf, one of the most virulent terrorist organizations in Southeast Asia. Soon the CIA moves in to investigate and Ian finds himself falling in love with a young, beautiful, covert agent. Caught between terrorists and the Agency, while searching for a fortune in lost gold, Ian is grasping for one LAST CHANCE.
