I left a successful corporate career to follow my passion, exploring our undersea world. Trading in my corporate suit for a wetsuit, I now devote my time to writing, scuba diving around the world, underwater photography, and speaking to various groups about ocean conservation. I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to photograph and dive with Caribbean reef sharks in the Bahamas, humpback whales in the Dominican Republic and the South Pacific Tonga Islands, gray whales in the Mexican Baja, diverse sea life in the Cayman Islands, Cozumel, Bonaire, Hawaii, Antigua, and in my home waters off Long Island, NY. FINALLY, in 2019 another "bucket-list" item was checked off: cage-diving with great white sharks at Guadalupe Island, Mexico.My underwater pictures and videos have been featured on National Geographic TV, magazines, and on web sites related to scuba diving. I've written and published six sea-going adventure novels (DANGEROUS WATERS, WHALES' ANGELS, FIREWORKS, NEAR MISS, KILLER IN PARADISE, an recently, FUGITIVE IN PARADISE). All books are available on my website, MilaBooks.com , Amazon, both in print and on all e-readers. I also published BASIC UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHY, my first nonfiction venture. Currently working on BUBBLES UP!, a nonfiction peek at humorous and interesting interaction between people and sea creatures.Diving in the same waters as the characters in my books enables me to describe for non-diving readers the beauty and wonder of exploring our undersea world. Best Publishing Company, a 'traditional" publisher picked up and published my three children's sea turtle books:Harry Hawksbill Helps His Friends, Gracie Green Turtle Finds Her Beach, and Larry Loggerhead Travels to the Sea Turtle Hospital.I reside in Carle Place, New York, a small town on Long Island.
