About the Author:
A trailblazer in aviation, Sharon shattered the glass ceiling as US Airways' first female pilot in 1980, a time when women pilots constituted less than 0.5% of the global total. Her peers dubbed her "Bombshell," a testament to her standout presence in a male-dominated field. Sharon skillfully piloted an array of aircraft, including Boeing 727s and 737s, DC-9s, and BAC 1-11s, ascending to the rank of captain in just seven years.
Her journey into aviation was preceded by a glamorous stint as a water-sports and boating model, followed by globetrotting adventures as a flight attendant for Pan American World Airways. Sharon's passion for flying extends to piloting antique and experimental aircraft, as well as engaging with fighter airplanes in diverse international settings.
Now residing on a picturesque South Florida island, Sharon continues to inspire readers through her rich legacy in aviation.
S.L. Menear is a retired airline pilot. US Airways hired Sharon in 1980 as their first female pilot, bypassing the flight engineer position. The men in her new-hire class gave her the nickname Bombshell. She flew Boeing 727s and 737s, DC-9s, and BAC 1-11 jet airliners and was promoted to captain in her seventh year.
Before her pilot career, Sharon worked as a water-sports model and then traveled the world as a flight attendant with Pan American World Airways.
Sharon has enjoyed flying antique airplanes, experimental aircraft, and Third-World fighter airplanes. Her leisure activities included scuba diving, powered paragliding, snow skiing, surfing, horseback riding, aerobatic flying, sailing, and driving fast cars and motorcycles.
Her beloved timber-shepherds, Pratt & Whitney, were her faithful companions for almost fourteen years, and she enjoyed riding her beautiful black and white paint stallion, Chief, who kept the mares happy, fathering several adorable foals on her mother’s horse ranch in Texas.
Sharon has flown many of the airplanes in her debut novel, Flight to Redemption, Flight to Destiny, Triple Threat, and Vanished, Books One through Four in her Samantha Starr Thriller Series featuring a woman airline pilot.
