"The Navy's Most Vital And Secretive Submarine Base Is  In... Idaho?"

HELLCATS- OPERATION BARNEY

 I am busy writing and doing research for my book, Submarine Stories of the 20th Century, A friend presented me a condensed - just the fact (about 100-125 words) of his career on one of the WWII boats.  After doing research it has grown to over 800 words. I found it very interesting that he had been a crew member of one of the submarine involved with Operation Barney.   I  have two I have started to research for the missing pieces. 

I have a friend, a wife of a submariner who is an editor  that will  be reading and editing for me.

If you want your story in this book being published by Skyhorse Publishing Inc., get in touch with me.

USS TINOSA AND THE USS BONE FISH (SS-223)

 I have been researching to fill -in the blanks, start the story and prepare questions for follow-up
on the USS Tinosa (SS-283). I hope I am able to bring to the story the danger and emotions the crew endured. I know most people have no idea how important the submarine force is or that it ever existed. What I have read and learned makes me feel honored the men have presented their stories to me and they believe I will  honor them. Just finished researching the lost of The USS Bone Fish (SS-223). It will be included in this story.
