More About the Author

I have been writing since my teen years, when I covered high school sports for my hometown newspaper, The Herald, in Bridgeport, Conn.
I continued working at the paper while I was in college. In the mid-1950s I began working for The New York Daily News, writing feature stories. In 1963, I left The News, going to Chilton Books in Philadelphia, and then to the National Geographic Book Division. I began freelancing in 1981, but I continued contributing to Geographic publications.

Wow-- this was such a great book for a guy. Treasure buried at sea, a brilliant (or is he crazy?) treasure hunter, high-tech gambles to find a ship lost a hundred years ago and bring it in, a story about someone betting it all, spending millions of dollars of other people's money on a dream and-- get this-- it worked. Then they had to deal with the court system. Who's gold is it? Check out the book-- a beautiful read for a week at the beach.
