Author Bio:
I was lucky enough to live my childhood dream by becoming a pilot for 30 years. I didn’t do it like most do, I never wanted to be tied down too any one company or type of flying, so I literally tramped around the world taking jobs as they came. I flew for some airlines under contract, the Saudi royal family twice, Hustler Magazine part time and even the US Air Force under contract. I wanted to fly to see the world, so that’s what I did! I’m retired now and living in North Carolina and writing books and still playing my Blues guitar!!!
