Mary Nida Smith Press Release.


My book "Heroes Beneath the Waves: Submarine Stories of the Twentieth Century" is an easy read for preteens and up, to learn more about the U.S. Navy Submarine Service and the men who served. Hopefully, family members and friends will understand why their love one, who served, will not talk about it. The submariners were taught "Loose lips Sink Ships." I tried to gather stories and information that would help young kids, wives, and others to have a better understand what happens below the sea and of the ones, who never returned, as sea became their final grave.

My poem Cowboy Jo was selected to be published in 2017 publication of "SILO." The College of Southern Idaho's literary journal: http://www.csi.edu/silo.
I am honored to be selected in a town I spent nine years. Where I was involved with Idaho Writers League (President Twin Falls Chapter) and where my freelance writing and doing illustrations took off. I always try to make the best out of all the places I have been - each was a learning adventure. God is always at work. I feel so blessed.

Heroes Beneath the Waves: Submarine Stories of the Twentieth Century.

I am a lifetime member of .the World War II Veterans Wives and USSVI Wives and I am the author of this book. A book for preteens and up. Heroes Beneath the Waves is about teenage boys who left farms, small towns, and inner cities to defend the United States and democracy worldwide. Signing up for United States Navy submarine duty was an adventure of a lifetime during the early 1940s. Dreams of torpedoing Japanese and German ships and subs consumed their thoughts. Those who returned home as young men were older and wiser. Heroes Beneath the Waves was written to honor these men—gallant heroes—who served and are serving today on submarines. The unbelievable stories of the heroic men who sailed under the sea.
