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

My novel, Flying Wires, is mentioned in this week’s issue of the Howard County Times and Laurel Leader newspapers. In his column, John Hayes highlights the books published by four members of the Savage Writers’ Circle. The writers meet at the Savage, Maryland library on the second Monday of each month. John – also an accomplished writer – has had poems published and a couple of his plays performed. Read about these five writers’ accomplishments here.

Thanks to open source software, affiliate marketing, and paid advertising, document conversion is literally, free and easy. Open source software like Open Office allows you to open a Microsoft Word document, for example, edit it and then save it in a variety of document formats. Most useful is the option to save the document as a PDF [portable document format]. The Open Office Suite software [word processor, presentation, drawing, database and spreadsheet programs] is free. I use the word processor and spreadsheet functions almost exclusively; rarely venturing to the Windows side of the fence.
In the realm of paid advertising and affiliate marketing, there are a number of online document conversion software companies that will let you convert electronic files for free. The advertisers help to defray the cost of using the bandwidth and web servers. These web sites offer a broader spectrum of file conversion. For example, audio, video and archive file options are available. One such company is Media-Convert. The only caveat I’ll mention is, check the company’s limitations on file size. You’ll probably find the file conversion format you want, but – using the example of Media-Convert – you’re limited to a file no larger than 150 Mb.

I’ve received questions about the status of Flying Wires. Is it available and in what format is it available? Flying Wires was published as a PDF so that Chrysalis Publications, LLC could get it on the market before Christmas 2008. Since then we have been exploring other formats. The Kindle format is high on our list. We are also exploring a possible relationship with the Read How You Want company. We’ve had requests to see Flying Wires in other formats and our goal is to make that happen as quickly as possible.
Needless to say, with the work involved to start up the virtual assistant department of the business, we have a full agenda. We’ll keep you informed of our progress on both of these fronts. In the meantime, if you have any questions, suggestions or job requests, please contact us.
