Advertising soon led Hood to Lloyd's Register of Shipping where she became Information Officer during the 1980s. Her job at Lloyd's Register of Shipping inspired a love for maritime history. She became an authoritative figure and consultant in this field. Her subsequent research on the 18c East Indiaman, ‘Winterton’, spanning two decades, became the subject of her first non-fiction book, Marked For Misfortune. In 2006, Hood released Come Hell and High Water, an examination of several infamous or less well-known shipwrecks, to critical acclaim. Warship International Fleet Review wrote that it ‘reads like the best fiction, yet they are all true stories’. In an interview with The Sentinel in August 2010, Hood explained the intention of her latest work, Carrier: A Century of First-hand Accounts of Naval Operations in War and Peace: ‘my book tells the human, rather than the technical, story of aircraft carriers and naval aviation, using eye-witness stories from those who served.’ Navy News described it as ‘probably the definitive book on life in the capital ship of the past seventy or so years… pretty much everything involving carrier operations, full stop, is covered.’.
