I'm impressed that you've improved with each book, instead of writing the same story over again, something that some successful novelists tend to do. I wish you success and look forward to your next novels.

How great is it that I have readers in Portugal and the Philippines! Thanks!

Yes, I admit to taking a few creative liberties in my stories, but they are mostly of the improbable kind, rarely the impossible kind, although I'll leave it up to Mythbusters to confirm or bust the crazier ones (I'm a certified scuba diver myself, so I tried to make the underwater scenes this side of plausible). Think about when a friend tells you a story about something that actually happened to them. If your reaction is "Oh, really," the story was probably mildly interesting about something rather mundane. But if your reaction was "No way!", then it was probably an awesome story about something really improbable. Those are the ones I want to tell.

Thanks! That's an interesting idea.
