CLEAR TO LIFT book signing at Warwick's

Okay, so this was an AMAZING evening at Warwick's Bookstore in La Jolla, CA.

Naval Academy classmates, HC-11 squadron mates, a Greek family horde from Arizona, and friends and family made the trek to La Jolla to support the release of CLEAR TO LIFT.

So great to see everyone. I was just blown away by the support.

Thank you all!

Hometown Greek support!

My boys were there, too, of course! Taller than Mom in
heels. Yikes!
