Vicki Hansen Releases New Scuba Diving Novel

Broken Arrow, Okla.

When Vicki Hansen earned her certification as an open water scuba diver she fell in love with the beauty both above and below the ocean's surface. Her diving experiences inspired her new novel, "Diving Azul: The Blue Coast" (published by iUniverse), a moving story of love and healing after loss.

For the first time since the loss of her beloved husband, Loni Colbe feels alive. The deep blue waters of La Costa Azul in Mexico send shockwaves through her body every time she dives in on her scuba trip.

Though she doesn't want to admit it, Loni feels those same shock waves whenever she's around Nick, an old friend from high school. While on the same trip together, passion ignites, but Loni is hesitant. Can she move on and learn to love again?

An excerpt from "Diving Azul":

"Nick was quiet on the other end of the phone. He was thinking. 'She's already got the tickets, everything's already been paid for,' he thought out loud. 'Why don't I pay you for half the trip, and let's go together?'
'What?' Loni questioned surprisingly. 'You're not serious, are you?'
'Why not?' Nick questioned.'"
