My career in the Navy and worldwide travel inspired my writing.
These photos are just some of the places that inspired me.
The Cliffs of Dover, England
Ilse of Arran, Scotland This photo is untouched. That's exactly as it looked in real life.
Sometimes hurry up and wait isn't so bad. Campbelltown, Scotland
A tour of a fort in Trieste, Italy
The sea is sometimes so romantic. Sucks to be alone on these type of evenings. Sun setting over Sicily
Stopping in Souda Bay, Crete, Greece was always a highlight. Opa!
Refuelling a ship near Ireland. I have never set foot in Ireland, but oh, so close.
Mt Etna, Sicily from the sea. I think were about 50 nm away in this photo.
I think this was in the Pacific, but this how it looks almost anywhere at sea.
My favorite US city - San Diego / Coronado from the Cabrillo National Monument.
Following an US aircraft carrier through the Suez Canal.
A storm over Gaeta, Italy
The mountains of Formia in the background. The USS Mount Whitney in Gaeta, Italy
Mt. Fuji from the sea.
Dolphins playing in the wake, somewhere in the Pacific.
Vertical Replenishment (VertRep) somewhere in the Pacific
Me keeping an eye on operations onbaord the USNS Carl Brashear (T-AKE 7)
This spot has earned a lot of writing time in my books. West Island in the mouth of the lagoon of Diego Garcia
