I am proud to announce that Flying Wires is now for sale as a paperback! Printed at Lulu.com, the 326-page book is now available for purchase online. Lulu.com has excellent turnaround from order placement to delivery, so you won’t have to wait long to enjoy the flight! Click here to order your copy today.
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:
This is a real page turner! – Arty Trost, Ultralight Adventurer
Just wanted you to know that I finished reading your book and enjoyed it a lot! – Jim Mason, Pilot
I loved it…. Congrats. When is the next one due? – Ricardo Trujillo, Pilot

I was recently interviewed for a profile article about me and my novel, Flying Wires. Click here for a JPEG of Timmy Gelles’ article in the 11 June 2009 issue of The Gazette or here for a link to the online version. Only recently, have I had the time to do some marketing of Flying Wires and I’m quite pleased that this opportunity came along.
In the meantime, my Examiner.com articles and my work for NAMI Howard County are keeping me quite busy. Now that the first phase of the NAMI contract is complete, I will soon be working about 10 hours per week for the next twelve months on the second phase.

If you haven’t done so already, visit Arty’s blog. The entries she posted on May 10 and 12 are peppered with pictures. The adventurers are close to home, but rain is forecast in the Sandy, OR area through Thursday. Rain is an obstacle to a Drifter pilot!

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.

I can hardly wait to hear from Arty and Randy about their flight on to Dauphin Island and Gulf Shores today! Pictures? Can hardly wait until tomorrow morning… Their flight is certainly a trip of a lifetime.

Read Arty’s latest posts and check out her latest Spot. As big as Texas is, I suspect it seems a lot bigger when you’re flying into a turbulent headwind.
