Fly Toward Death

Machine gun fire and rifle bullets zing all around her as she maneuvers her plane to drop her bombs. Her fragile World War I biplane is low enough for her to hear the Germans screaming and yelling, as she presses forward to her drop zone.This was a typical flight during one night's sorties. The German soldiers feared and hated the women they called the Nachthexen: Night Witches. There were three all-female aviation regiments in the Soviet Union during World War II. This is the story of female heroes who flew under incredibly adverse conditions: From women who flew the little, unarmed biplanes and bombed the Germans at night, to the fierce fighter pilots who fought the seasoned German Luftwaffe, humbling them before their peers.This is a fictional account, based on true stories, of the amazing women who lived, loved, and died bravely during the dark days of World War II. After I became an empty nester, I went back and finished college. All through the years stories kept racing through my thoughts until finally, I decided to stop their nagging and began to write. Telling a story that holds the reader's attention and makes them want to read more is what I strive to do.I like all kinds of genres and write in many of them. There are four Science Fantasy books, one Historical Romance/Adventure (due to be released soon), and Fly Toward Death, a fictionalized account of the Soviet Union all-women pilots during World War II. I graduated with a History major and never heard of these incredible women. I wanted the world to know about these brave, loyal, dedicated women.Currently, I live in northern Ohio and live with my delightful sister, crazy dog and finicky cat.
