Best selling author, Larry Jeram-Croft spent thirty years in the Royal Navy as a helicopter pilot and engineer. He then worked in industry for seven years before retiring. When he retired, he and his wife bought a yacht and went to live in the Caribbean. It was this experience that led to the idea for his 'Jacaranda trilogy'. The novels are based on true events in the West indies of Nelson's time and provide thrilling and exciting stories for all who love the sea and sailing. Brought up on the books of C S Forester and Patrick O'Brian he was surprised that no one was writing similar stories about the modern Royal Navy, especially with so much going on in previous decades. As he was himself a Lynx helicopter pilot during the Falklands War, he decided to start there, using his own extensive knowledge of the conflict. 'Sea Skimmer' was the result; a book based on many true stories, the main one being why the Argentinian Exocet missiles failed to explode. Directly involved in anti Exocet countermeasures and also with a grandstand seat of the final Exocet raid of the war, the book, although a novel, has an authenticity that cannot be bettered. Nine more books have followed in that series. Other novels include the first in a series of thrillers about his home town of Winchester. An historical fiction about the British occupation of Diamond rock off the coast of Martinique during the Napoleonic Wars and a Science Fiction novel which was actually the first idea he ever ad for a book.when he was at school. In addition to his fiction, he has published two not fiction books about the Lynx and Wasp helicopters that he flew during his naval career. His latest book is an autobiography telling the story of his flying career in the Royal Navy during the Cold War and subsequent Falklands War. His most recent publications are a trilogy of novels about naval aviation in WW2 based on his father's career who was a fighter pilot and one of the few naval Aces of the war. Larry now lives in Martock, Somerset and spends most of his time writing, playing golf extraordinarily badly and competing in his forty three year classic Triumph sports car (or money pit as its often called).
