Ever since my childhood I wanted to write. Fascinated by the Edgar Allen Poe, Roald Dahl books and the Twilight Zone TV shows, in my teens I started writing short stories. Stories about the unexplainable. After a few years I gave up writing to pursue a career in photography. For decades writing kept me busy. But somehow it never happened till some 30 years later and a dozen or so other career paths when a friend of mine handed me a magazine. That magazine changed everything. In it was an article about 118 brave Russian marines that succumbed in a submarine tragedy. The story about Kursk intrigued me and I wanted to read more about it. I read every book and article about the subject I could find but still wasn’t fulfilled. There had to be more to what happened, to the story. So much was unknown or speculated. Political intrigues, secret weapons testing, personal interests, to me it had all the ingredients of a great Tom Clancy novel. But he didn’t write it. Nobody did. So I decide to dive in, research the subject for almost a year and sat down behind the laptop. The rest I guess is history.
