ABOUT THE AUTHOR –

Bobby Ferguson

“Paradise is not a place, it’s just a state of mind, Where love can offer up much more than life expects to find.”

One  of  the greatest treasure stories of our time is that of the discovery of The Nuestra Senora de Atocha, by Mel Fisher with over $400,000,000 in precious artifacts, gold and emeralds onboard.  Wouln’t the modern day pirate and dreamer in all of us like to have been involved in that adventure of finding and salvaging the Spanish galleon which sank off the Florida Keys during a mighty and violent hurricane in 1622?  Bobby Ferguson, the author was. . .  You can now experience that great adventure vicariously from the comfort of your armchair by enjoying this novel – Fool’s Paradise.

Bobby Ferguson (Bobby McAllister), a native of the City of Dreams, Savannah, Georgia, and former United States Marine, attended Pepperdine University in California, where he studied Spanish history, Post Secondary Education, Admiralty and salvage law and Aviation.  He was instrumental in the salvaging of the Atocha with Mel Fisher in 1985, as well as his subsequent quests.  Along with his friend, (The beach bum lawyer) they raised several million dollars from happy investors to keep the successful salvage process in operation.

Although Fool’s Paradise  is a novel, and the characters are fictional, they are based on actual participants and events.

Are you prepared to toss the dice, and pay the price to . . .Take a trip to Fool’s Paradise?

Robert Ferguson, Author

As I begin this introduction, I ask “what is the greatest adventure you have ever experienced or imagined”; was it reading a book, or actual experience? if so, or if not, I assure you one is about to begin. Meet Bobby McAllister and his cast of characters… and you will only begin to understand my first question.

I take special moments and great pleasure in introducing to you the writings about “him”, by him. Bobby McAllister is Bobby Ferguson. I understand that publishing requests occur on a daily rate that potentially deters knowing the true soul of the writer, but for the adventure that lies ahead we leap. The possibility of failure is not an option.

These books touch all zones; the creativity is splendid by the nature of the author. Bobby Ferguson has written a series of four books over a period of eleven years. They consist of a blend of truth and fiction compared to no other author we have ever read, or loved more.

The first book, Fool’s Paradise, is based on a series of real treasure hunting excursions that begin off the coast of the Florida Keys, and the finding of 17th century sunken treasure in 1985. It culminates in the paradise of Venezuela where he locates his real Prize, the treasure every woman is to the right man.

Imagine the true story of locating a sunken Spanish galleon, The Nuestra Senora de Atocha, with the legendary Mel Fisher, and walking the ocean floor amid treasure over 350 years old, a bounty of gold, silver, emeralds and priceless artifacts. To be there would touch you where?

The novel is explosive in adventure that rocks the imagination, real fate that tears at your heart, and a sense of humor that could only come from a sweet Georgia boy; a gentleman pirate.

History cannot be rewritten, only better read. The mission is simple: Publish the books, make the films, and receive the rewards… and, the Awards. We bring to you the potential to go that far.
