What is the aim or goal of your writing: 2nd ed. says, " Having always been something of a sports nut, my first books (as you can see) were on sports. Have branched out a bit with the last three books, which are on ship disasters, fire disasters, and natural disasters--which might mark me as something of a disaster as a writer (no best sellers yet!). Love to write and wouldn't want to do anything else."
