Author Bio
Born and raised in New Zealand. I am currently living in Australia. I have always had a passion for travel and new experiences and have travelled to many countries around the world. Little did I know I would end up in war torn East Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan. Wouldn`t trade the experience for anything. Met some very interesting people. Some very colorful characters. I believe it not only gives you an insight to what is truly happening in these countries but also an appreciation of the benefits we sometimes take for-granted in life.
My interest in writing my first two books "Fatal Decision" and "Hostile Intent" was born out of my fascination in global politics especially the Worlds Super Powers. Following military movements, and political cat and mouse between the UN Security Council members was intriguing and sometimes amusing.
I have travelled fairly extensively to some amazing places around the world and some not so amazing. But the experience is always worth the effort. Some places I`ve traveled: USA, Canada, Mongolia, Japan, Germany, Turkey, Dubai, Kuwait, Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong, China, Afghanistan, Iraq, Australia, Fiji, Indonesia, and many more..
Have a great passion for sport, especially Bodybuilding. Both participating and viewing. Living in a tropical paradise like Australia it's easy to be persuaded to venture outdoors and hit the beach.
I truly hope you will enjoy my first two books as much as I did writing them. The new sequel called "Hostile Intent" has just been released through my Publisher and is now available through all major book outlets..

"Livin La Vida Loca" Ricky Martin.
Based in Queensland, Australia. My sixth book and third nonfiction book, after initially writing two fiction novels.
I wrote "Wine, Travel & Romance" based on my personal experiences with some of the gorgeous, sensuous, romantic ladies I met whilst working internationally. This happened over a period of twelve years, post-divorce. Previously I had been married for 22 years until my amicable divorce in 2009. My intent was not to meet anyone. I certainly did not have preconceived ideas of meeting ladies throughout my travels. I wanted to travel and work internationally.
I intentionally left out dates so as not to timeline any of these events. The events are not in chronological order but do take place within the aforementioned period.
Some of the places I travelled to: Dubai, USA, Canada, Turkey, China, Mongolia, South Korea, Germany, Hong Kong, Fiji, Singapore, Indonesia, Japan, East Timor, Iraq, Afghanistan, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand along with many others.
I believe my inspiration for writing this book was when I was watching a YouTube vlog. It was a husband and wife discussing how they meet, first date, first kiss, marriage etc. The wife whose name was Katie reminded me a lot of a former lover of mine. The mannerisms were glaringly similar. Something triggered within me to sit down at the computer and start writing. So here is my story. I do not cover all of my acquaintances, but I have outlined a number of them in this book.
I have used pseudonyms so as not to embarrass anyone or reveal there true identities. I have purposely left out certain details which are private and shall remain etched in wonderful memories. I have added some anecdotal lines from past situations. At the end of each chapter, I insert a famous quote on love which I`ll add in italics.
I dedicate this book to all those wonderful ladies to whom I was so fortunate to meet and share a part of my life with. They were full of fun, joy, and kindness. They were gentle and always well meaning. We all remain dear friends.
From dining out, shopping, travelling, and those memorable romantic moments where no words were needed. Just a gaze and a smile spoke a thousand words.
Love is such a strange feeling to have. How does it really work? Love at first sight. Love after a week of knowing each other, love forever. It's a blessing that we can experience such a wonderful gift that manifests itself in so many ways.
I sincerely hope you enjoy this book as much as I did writing it. To all those people that are falling in love around the world I tip my hat to you and wish you God speed.
