The best part for me has been having readers complain me that they missed an entire night's sleep because they could put the book down. I will admit that walking by airport bookstores in strange cities and seeing a stack of our books featured was a real kick, too.

To tell a good story, and we are really story tellers, you need to know what you are talking about. That means that you need to do your research. Nothing will turn a reader off faster than obvious errors, particularly when you are writing techno-thrillers like we do.

This is a question that I am often asked and one that is complicated to answer. On one level, I'm telling sea stories ad any sailor worth his salt tells sea stories. On a more a deeper level, I'm trying to explain what a submariner's life is like and why we do what we do to a public that knows very little about those men who go down to the sea in those black sewer pipes.

Well, Operation Golden Dawn has an involved plot. Many of the plot ideas originated from events that happened when I served in submarines. For instance, the scene where SAN FRANCISCO shoots it out with the Indonesia KILO harkens back to a tactical problem that that my instructors sprang on me in the attack trainer during Prospective Commanding Officers School. In my mind, leveraging events like this bring reality t the story.
