New Book, DIVER.

[Groupie59]

Dear All

My Name is [GOOGLE]Tony Groom[/GOOGLE]. I have recently finished writing a book that is rapidly becoming a best seller over here in the UK.

DIVER is a book about a life underwater. I have been paid to dive since I was 17, (I am now 49, just!) An enviable position to many I’m sure. I have been diving all over the world, well almost! From the South Pacific, to the war torn Falkland Islands during the conflict in 1982. Searching for mines down there or quickly evolving our EOD (Explosive Ordinance Disposal) skills, repairing bomb damaged ships during air raids, all set me up for a career that never had a dull moment.

When I left the Navy I went on to become a Saturation Diver in the oil fields of the North Sea and around the world diving at depths to well over 700 feet for a month at a time.

Please have a look at the reviews on Amazon.co.uk: Diver: Tony Groom: Books ([GOOGLE]Tony Groom[/GOOGLE], Diver).
It is on Amazon.com and also available in the States from : Sheridan house.com Diver

Have a look at my site. DIVER DIVER. A diving book. Diving, scuba, saturation, a life under water.

You won't have ever read anything like it.

Cheers Tony

Thanks for that. I've sold around 14,000 in 4 months! For an unknown author, I don't think that's to shabby do you?
It's a myth that you can make any money at it though. Saying that, it took about a year, and I loved it. So.....

No I don't think thats to shabby. Welcome Diver.

Love your quote by the way.

"For those who have fought for it, freedom has a flavor the protected will never know."

Another one I've always loved, which I 'think' is one of Churchill's is:

"It is better to remain silent and appear dumb, than to speak and remove all doubt."

Roger that. Churchill could put it to the point and zero in on it. He is among my heroes in history. I admire the heck out of him.
