About the Author

Throughout my life I have always tried to seek out adventure, whether real or imaginary. Much of this has taken place in, on, or under the water. My love of diving has allowed me to explore the oceans of the world and work extensively in the film and TV industry. This spirit has filtered through to my creative writing, which includes the John McCready thrillers - a smart, fast-paced action series, following the exploits of professional diver, John McCready as he embarks on gripping and dangerous adventures across the globe, with twists and turns right up to the end.

In the real world, LIGHTS! CAMERA! SUB ACTION! takes you behind the scenes of underwater projects in the film and TV industry. But the one thing the books have in common, is a sense of excitement and the unknown; whether journeying with a hero battling the odds on thrilling and dangerous adventures, or diving sunken shipwrecks and coral reefs in the company of sharks, manta rays and other creatures of the deep. The aim, above all, is to entertain, inform and surprise...
