Gj Maher

GJ Maher (Geof) has been writing since his teens. First published in 1973 as a teenager, his story on a unique SCUBA Diving school which he visited in Houston Texas told of a dive tank similar to a giant silo where students immersed themselves in elative safety. A few months later Geof set an underwater world record in Sydney Harbour on the day that the Sydney Opera House was opened by Queen Elizabeth II. It was his final day of high school. The stunt was twofold...to upstage the Queen and to raise money for charity. He didn't upstage the queen, but he raised a considerable amount of money for charity. The next three decades saw him travel on all continents except Antarctica and write for a large number of magazines as a freelance journalist in the fields of environment, sport and travel.

A book on Auschwitz survivor Regina Sprada titled 'Laugh to Survive' and a book on the 'Toilets of the World' soon followed. A series of children's books and a story on disability titled 'Christmas with the Dolphins' were next.

His other works including several short stories are featured on his abovementioned website.
