Flying Wires has been added to LittleSamuari.com, a new web site for reading books online. Readers have free access to any of the books at the web site. Another unique aspect of LittleSamurai.com are the interactive features a publisher can add to their books. For example, Flying Wires contains hypertext that connects the reader with web sites, online documents and photographs. This media expands and enhances the story. The photos are a tangible example of something mentioned by one of the characters. The urls to organizations, events or places provide additional information about what is mentioned in the novel. LittleSamurai.com offers a reading environment that goes beyond just reading a digital book. It takes the reader into a corner of the real world behind the story.

From the Lulu.com web site:
Currently, the only novel written about ultralight flying, this romance with aviation and finding love the second time around, will carry the reader to new heights. Engaging dialog and descriptive narration reveal the world of ultralight pilots and instructors. The author accurately presents the joy and the drama of flight through the experiences of the men and the heroine, the only woman pilot at a rural turf-airstrip in North Carolina. By opening this book, the reader takes the pilot seat and straps in for an exciting flight!
Flying Wires has been available as a PDF since December 2008. The Kindle edition became available in March 2009. Here are some comments I’ve received from readers:

Arty Trost and her Maxair Drifter
Check out Arty’s latest posts! WOW! I skipped a few days and, as a result, I spent the better part of a half hour catching up on her journal of flight adventures, restaurant reviews and photo gallery. The squadron is in Florida now; getting closer every day to Lakeland and Sun ‘n Fun.
