| Judy Ann Newton is a
native Californian who lives mostly in a suitcase seemingly filled with
dive gear, a computer and her underwater camera through which she captures
our dreams.
For the last ten years,her adventures have taken
her to places that most of us only read about in the travel magazines
including Tanzania, Zanzibar, Ireland, Scotland, Fiji, Vanuatu, Namibia,
Botswana, Zimbabwe, Thailand, Borneo, Honduras, Guatemala, Belize, Mexico,
the Caribbean and of course the subject of this website, Truk Lagoon.
She currently spreads her land-based time between homes in northern
Germany, Nassau, Bahamas and southern California.
Her background has provided her with a wealth of
experience to draw on for her profession and she currently has several
books in progress -- "Travel and Other Forms of Torture" a sadistic look
at her life of travel and adventure -- as well as three other fiction
books in the outlining stage.
Judy Ann has a BA in English literature, a BA in
Anthropology and is certified in the UK and the US as a Hyperbaric Chamber
Operator and Advanced Diver Medic. She was an editor for a major
international publishing company for eight years before she discovered the
satisfaction of writing her own books rather than reading someone else's.
Her view of life is summed up in this statement:
"Living life is the adventure and when we cease to
take risks or dare to live the dream, we cease to really live. As William
Wallace said at the time of his execution - according to Mel Gibson - 'All
Men die, only some men live'".
