Hi,Thanks for stopping by. In a nutshell, I'm a retired librarian who majored in English and loves diving and photography. Combine those four and how can you not get fish books? How many fish books have I written? Perhaps too many, but it's rewarding and fun, so why not? My latest project has been an iPad app called Fish ID Hawaii. It covers 324 fish species browsable by shape, color, family, scientific name and Hawaiian name. It includes video for each fish, plus 980+ still photos. Find it in the App Store.For many years my wife Marcia and I lived in Honolulu. In 2007 we both retired to the village of Volcano, on the Island of Hawaii, where we live just 3 miles from one of the world's most active volcanoes. I still do a lot of diving and underwater photography. Oh, and hiking too.
