News and Events

June 25, 2024 - I am excited! Today I found my first book review published online while doing a Google search. That means that someone who doesn’t know me and is not affiliated with me in any way has read my book, likes it, and recommends it!

May 29, 2024 - I have just accepted an invitation to take part in a panel discussion at the Texas State Historical Association’s meeting early next year in Houston, TX. More about that later.

May 18, 2024 - This was my first book lecture, which took place at an assisted-living facility in Plano, TX. After I finished, my audience did not leave, but continued to ask questions and requested that I read another excerpt from my book. Since it was my first, I did not know how many books I would need, but the few I took were all sold. I will know to take more for my next event.

April 28, 2024 - Today my book was officially released!

April 26, 2024 - I received my final nine author’s copies of my book, The Spray and Pray Squadron: 3rd Bomb Squadron, 1st Bomb Group, Chinese-American Composite Wing in World War II!

April 18-19, 2024 - At the “Remembering Heroes: Flying Tigers and Doolittle Raiders Photo Exhibition” that took place at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, OH, I acted as MC at the introductory event and took part in a panel discussion later that afternoon. I spoke about the Chinese-American Composite Wing and, of course, my book.

Perhaps the most momentous event in which I have recently taken part was a trip to China in October/November 2023. Here I am (wearing the “skunk patch” on my flight jacket) with other members of the Sino-American Aviation Heritage Foundation (including my husband Tom and daughter Coleen) at the Great Wall at Badaling.
