An Intruder Author's Website

Born in Alabama and raised in Maryland, Maurice—Maury—is a graduate of the University of the South (Sewanee).  He served in the US Navy as a Naval Flight Officer with tours of duty that included flight operations in the Antarctica and flying the A-6E Intruder from the decks of numerous aircraft carriers.  Upon retiring from the Navy, he worked in the fields of aviation logistics support and information technology management.  He is a member of the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA), the Association of Naval Aviation (ANA), The Intruder Association, the Old Antarctic Explorers (OAE) Association and the Military Writers Society of America (MWSA).  Maury and his wife, Eleanor, reside in Virginia Beach, Virginia.  They have two grown sons and two grandchildren.

When Destinies Collide is Maury’s first novel.  Having been a resident of Virginia Beach for over 30 years, he has had ample opportunity to witness the vulnerability of the Tidewater Virginia area to hurricanes and nor'easters.  During August 1995, when it appeared that Hurricane Felix was about to hammer Virginia Beach, his creative mind was triggered to write this action/suspense novel with the hurricane as a precipitous motivator for various human interactions.  His storytelling reveals all the elements of the human psychic: greed, terror, courage, love, heartbreak, kindness, perseverance and revenge.  Although the basis for his novel is pure fiction, these dynamics of human interaction could occur to any one of us to a greater or lesser degree.

Maury is currently working on his second novel, Terrorism's Shifting Winds, which he hopes to have published in the near future.
