About this Author.

Now retired, I have spent most of my life associated with the sea. After 27 years in the Navy I spent 15 years, ashore and afloat, in the Merchant service or associated industries. I have published three books through PublishMe. A KIWI ON OUR FUNNEL - the story of two minesweepers/gunboats defending Malaysia against Indonesian agression in 1965/66 WE WERE THERE - the story of NZ's involvement in the British nuclear bomb tests at Christmas Island in 1957/58 MURUROA PROTEST - the story of the Kirk governments use of the navy to successfully protest against the testing of nuclear weapons by France over Mururoa atoll in 1973. These books are available through PublishMe. I am happy to discuss issues with other amateur writers.
