After recently publishing my book, “Does This Island Go To The Bottom?”  I wanted feed back from my peers, and maybe just a little exposure. So last week I sent a copy of my book to this guy in Florida who’s love of diving caused him to start up the first radio show dedicated to scuba diving called ScubaRadio.com. He goes by the name “Greg the Divemaster.” He started up the show about 15 years ago at the same time I was on my island hopping hiatus in the Caribbean and it has been going strong ever since.




I wasn’t expecting a response from Greg, at least not a quick response, but I got an email from him on Friday. He said he already read the first 50 pages of my book and loved it! He asked if I would come on the show Saturday, which was the next day, and talk about the book. Of course! Why would I say no?

It was a great experience and a little intimidating being interviewed on a radio show that’s broadcasted throughout the United States. ScubaRadio.com covers news and stories about all things evolved around diving and provides valuable information on ocean awareness and conservation while having fun doing it.

Here is the link to my interview with ScubaRadio.com promoting my book. Cut to minute mark 39:30 start of the interview. Or listen to the whole thing. And subscribe to ScubaRadio.com and listen to their podcasts for free on iTunes. It’s a great show!

It's a lot of work writing a book. You get to the point where you go over it and over it and say, "I'm done screwing with this labor of love, it's time to publish."

I knew the editor who worked on my book didn't do the greatest job. But I had to see my book in print to get the big picture. What I found is that you have to edit the editor. A learning experience to say the least. The book was published in rough condition but that's OK. I haven't gone wide distribution yet and my wife who is cleaning up the book and whipping it into shape is doing a great job.

My book will be finalized in a few weeks and the it will be available through all the major book retailers and in all formats, i.e. iPad, Kindle and others.

Until then this crazy adventure is still on the market though Fastpencil publishing. It's the 1st draft copy that will soon be no more.
