Fly Me
Lieutenant Lynda Samantha Blake, a weapon systems officer in a U.S. Air Force F-15E supersonic jet fighter, finds herself in a dangerous wartime situation. She must draw on experiences from her youth, her Air Force Academy education, and her flight training to overcome the dangerous and always challenging roadblocks that confront her. Can she prove her mettle under trying circumstances and earn respect in a military dominated by testosterone-powered men? Robert McCartan served twenty-eight years in the U.S. Air Force. He amassed more than five thousand flying hours, including more than three thousand in the B-47 bomber with SAC. He flew 156 combat missions in Vietnam in the EB-66 aircraft, most of them over North Vietnam. He taught four years at the Air Force Academy, served four years as an operations staff officer in the Pentagon, and commanded an Air Force wing. He earned a master's degree from the University of Denver. In 2004, McCartan published a memoir, My Journey. He also published two successful novels: Noble Cause and European Intrigue. Colonel McCartan resides in Tucson, Arizona.
Sara Paretsky
Sara Paretsky's groundbreaking mystery series about Chicago private investigator V.I. Warshawski debuted in 1982 and is still going strong. She is a co-founder of Sisters in Crime (worldwide organization supporting women writers), a sought-after public speaker and the 2015 president of the Mystery Writers of America. This book is the first comprehensive reference work on Paretsky, providing an overview of the Warshawski novels and short stories, her other novels, a volume of collected essays, her anthologies and journalism. Special attention is paid to the character of Warshawski--the tough, street-smart detective who challenges stereotypical representations of women in crime fiction--and to the significance of the Chicago setting. A guide to the scholarly and critical debates is included, along with discussion of media adaptations and references to key websites.
First Friend
Dogs have shared our homes for as long as we can remember, and, in return, have guarded us, helped us hunt, and herded our livestock. They have generally been our friends as well; that is what most of them are today. Canine friends give us uncritical affection, free of the ambivalence that plagues human relationships. Dogs figure prominently in literature, starting with Homer's Argus, the hound who remembered Odyssues after twenty years. Victorian novels are full of vivid canine characters. "Ms. Rogers is impressively thorough...best of all, the author knows and respects dogs." Steve Goode, Washington Times
