John Jochimsen, now retired, was a photo-journalist who had assignments all over the world in the 60's and 70's. With the arrival of instant television reporting, the need for picture features diminished and so John turned to advertising and public relation photography. Working for most of the larger companies of the time, together with the Armed Services and other Government Departments, he finished working, just after his dear wife died. Later he carried on writing with this being his first novel.
' He was floating not only in body but in soul. How long he had been in the water, he couldn't remember, all he knew was that he was looking at the night sky and the rhythmic motion of the waves was gently rocking him further and further into a dull sleep that he was desperately trying to fight against. He knew somewhere deep down that if he gave in, the end would not be far away. He started to think of his past, keeping himself fit and slim with a smile that always seemed to be there, but now that didn't matter.'
