On the last
day of 2012, I would like to congratulate you all on surviving another
tumultuous year of bizarre weather and rickety economies, another threatened
end of the world (from the Mayans this time), and another election (may have
seemed like the end of the world to some of you). I also want to thank you for
continuing to read my blog, even though I've been a bit incommunicado lately.
Many of you
have asked about the book project on which I've been working, so here is an
update:
After
completing my first novel three months ago, I sent it out to several agents and
publishers for review. I was excited to quickly receive a contract offer from a
publishing house. However, after much soul-searching, I have decided to
"do it myself." (Those of you who know me are probably not surprised
by this announcement).
And so,
without further ado, I announce the release of SILENT SKY an
action mystery set in Seattle. Reina, the protagonist, is a defense attorney and a pilot whose mother owns a flight
school somewhere "north of Seattle." Hmmm . . . of course, any
resemblance to people or places you may think you know are entirely
coincidental! It is a lively, fun read, for pilots and non-pilots. I am certain
you will all enjoy it.
I will have
the first printing available at the end of February, to coincide with the one-year
anniversary of the closure of Out of the Blue Aviation. Devoting my time to
writing was one of the primary reasons for moving away from the time-consuming
job of owning a flight school. As much as I loved my years at Out of the Blue,
I knew it was the right time to sell, so I could begin work on becoming a famous writer! I have already begun on the sequel to SILENT SKY which will be set in Australia, using some of the experiences from
my recent stay there.
In order to
know how many books to print, I am asking anyone who is interested in a copy to
let me know now. If you pre-buy a book or books, I will mail (or maybe even
hand-deliver) a signed copy to you! I
will be setting up a new website for taking orders as well, but this is your chance
to get the first edition signed book at a special price.
