Setting the Hook author's blog

[settingthehookPete]

For those of you who enjoyed Setting the Hook or my first book Angles of Attack (not dive related; a personal account of flying A-6 Intruders from the USS Ranger during Operation Desert Storm), I have started a blog that might be of interest.

My goal is to provide thought provoking topics written in various styles. Some, but not all, postings are dive related. The sixth posting, a free verse poem which tackles the anomie experienced by all of us as we age, uses wreck diving as a metaphor. Ghosts of the corridor went live this afternoon.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback. I cannot express my appreciation strongly enough to all who have shared their experiences and friendships with me as a result of reading Setting the Hook; thank you!

Thanks,

Pete I just finished reading your book (Setting the Hook) and loved it. It's the only book I've ever written an actual review of after finishing it. REALLY good read. Thanks for writing down your experiences for the rest of us to enjoy.
