Julie Tizard has been a professional pilot for over thirty-five years. She is one of the earliest women pilots to graduate from U.S. Air Force pilot training. She was an Instructor Pilot flying the T-37 jet trainer and an Aircraft Commander flying the KC-10 air refueling tanker. She served in several leadership positions including Flight Commander, Chief of Pilot Upgrade, Chief of Flight Safety, and Squadron Commander. She retired as a Colonel from the Air Force Reserve after twenty-five years of service.
Julie is a captain at a major airline and currently flies the Airbus 320. She has flown the Boeing 737, 757, 767, and the DC-10. She was an instructor pilot and line check airman on the Boeing 737. She also flies her own aircraft, a T-67 Firefly, a military trainer. When not flying, reading about flying, talking about flying, or attending air shows, she can be found renovating houses, playing a baritone horn in the local LGBT band, and traveling like a normal person. She is the first woman military pilot to be writing lesbian fiction. She lives in Arizona, and The Road to Wings is her first novel.
