For more information about me, read this page and the posts in this blog. I founded Chrysalis Publications, LLC in March 2008 for the publication of my first novel, Flying Wires In 2010, I closed the company. I closed the company so that could spend more time helping members of my community. In 2008, I drove over 1600 miles for the American Cancer Society’s Road to Recovery program. In 2009, I drove 2250 miles combined for Road to Recovery, Fish of Laurel and the National Alliance on Mental Illness. I am a Trustee on the Board of Fish of Laurel and I support many of the humanitarian efforts coordinated by my church Holy Trinity Lutheran.
Flying Wires, is a love story set in the world of ultralight flying. I became interested in ultralights in the summer of 2000, at AirVenture in Oshkosh, WI. After returning home, my husband, Mike, and I located an ultralight flight school in Shrewsbury, PA, and began taking lessons. With the guidance of the USUA flight instructors at Shoestring Airport and with a lot of hard work and practice, Mike and I learned to fly. Mike soloed in November 2001. On June 22, 2002, I soloed in the Quicksilver Sport trainer that I trained in. In September of the same year, I took my first solo flight in my own plane – a Quicksilver Sprint. I will never forget those first solo flights. Learning to fly is an experience like nothing else I’ve ever done before or since. It builds confidence and…it’s a heck of a lot of fun!
