About This Author

Just another Exciting Day is my life story this is the synopsis. Based on my Manuscript which is my Autobiography not yet published. The story of my many life threatening incidents in numerous countries while working as a Rig Mechanic and Inspector. I have called my book 9 lives of a Rig Mechanic (Just Another Exciting Day) As a young man who has just been made redundant I see my future as bleak so I dive in the deep end of the rough early days of the oil rigs in the north sea in those times safety was just lip service, I was or most killed in a chopper crash and a narrowly missed a further crash in the Shetland’s. After some years I end up traveling to Nigeria where I get taken Hostage and talk my way out of it 4 years later on my second trip to Nigeria I get involved in a fire fight at Kidney Island, My work in Brazil had me falling from a drill ship into the middle of migrating killer whales later on I get entangled with pirates also my friend ends up in a Brazilian jail after an explosion onboard a drill ship. Sometime later I cross paths with the Chinese Mafia in Shenzhen province which involved a local shipyard crane driver and his daughter who we manage to save from Prostitution. Another of my true life incidents happens in the Saudi Desert five hours drive from the nearest road I am checking a rig I need to see the water well some distance from the rig as I stumble through the deep sand I come upon a couple of Arabs (who turn out to be Terrorists) as I am suffering heat exhaustion it never dawned on me who they were at first I take shelter by their tanker truck parked by a wellhead they were taking oil from a wellhead to finance their operations I later became the news of Abu Dhabi after I report to the Shake .
