Inspirations, thoughts by Minnesota author and flight attendant
Newspaper reporter: How did you feel about your wife becoming a flight attendant at her age?
Max: Casey’s boundless vitality combined with a lifetime of experiences easily qualified her for the role.
Newspaper reporter: But her role turned out to be far from what you imagined, didn’t it?
Max: There have been some unusual circumstances, I’ll admit.
Newspaper reporter: Unusual? A fake bomb on board, placed there by a twin who tried to kill his own brother. And then as a follow-up, she helped a person fleeing from her country and her uncle, a maniacal killer.
Max only grunted in response.
Newspaper reporter: Were you alarmed after the first event?
Max: Of course, I was. In fact, I wanted Casey to step down from any future sleuthing, as the newspapers called it.
Newspaper reporter: And did she?
Max barked a laugh: She was caught in an unforeseeable set of circumstances that she could hardly ignore. Even I recognized that.
Newspaper reporter: From the beginning?
Max: Well, no, I admit, at first, I insisted that she leave the whole ordeal to the authorities.
Newspaper reporter: What changed your mind?
Max: Meeting Nisreen, an articulate, intelligent young woman, who only wished to save her sister, a fully trained doctor, from a life with no purpose other than to serve the will of a man in Pakistan. The same would have been true for Nisreen, an educated engineer. Casey convinced me and my heart softened.
Newspaper reporter: So what’s in store for Casey’s career as a flight attendant?
Max: I’m sure all the excitement is over and she will serve Cokes and attend to the safety of her passengers. Casey is the consummate flight attendant and, in her absence, I’ve become the gourmet cook.

Happy to share a review we received for Groundstopped:
Michele 5.0 out of 5 stars Casey, Bonnie, Bertie, and Kit are at it again…Reviewed in the United States Verified Purchase OMG – started Ground Stopped this morning and couldn’t put it down. Just finished – I love Casey (and Max), Bonnie, Bertie, and Kit. Agent Krahl is a wonderful example of what an FBI agent should be. Thank you for allowing me to be among the first to disappear into your books. I live the stories as I’m reading them. These books all should be movies on the Hallmark Channel.
As always, I can’t wait until the next book…

Perhaps Casey Click was more stressed by the intensive training required to become a flight attendant than she thought because when she reported for her first flight, she noticed her boyfriend from college, Jack Soul, seated in the first row of First Class. Jack Soul, a combat pilot in the Viet Nam War, had been shot down, held as a POW, and finally died in captivity. Yet here he sat, dressed as she had last seen him when he proposed marriage.
Does this part of the story in Souls On Board seem a bit far-fetched? Read on.

Happy to share a review for Souls on Board:
by bdp47 – Quite enjoyable. Following the interests and tastes of Casey, I could imagine my wife becoming a flight attendant – as in the themes, flowers, wines, and interests were completely familiar to me. I liked the plot and characters. I definitely recommend this one.
