Look for the soon to be released show, "The Pilot's Daughter", hosted by Cheryl Webb Scott of "The Total Woman", on local cable programming. 

Thank-you to the American Association of University Women, who gave a warm welcome to autor Julia Doten as she spoke about her book at their March meeting.

A Long White Scarf is now coast to coast! Sales of A Long White Scarf have spread across the states from Maine to California, Canada to Florida. Congratulations! You can also borrow the book from public libraries in Maine, Massachusetts, and South Carolina.

Thank you to owners and staff of LeDucs Card and Gift in Wilmington, MA, for their warm reception/booksigning on a cold and frosty day in December!

Author Julia Doten read portions of A Long White Scarf to an enthusiastic group of women pilots - the New England Ninety-Nines - on November 11th during their Fall Meeting held in Newport, RI.
A special thank-you to Georgia Pappas, Chairman of the Eastern Chapter, for the opportunity to share this story!

Westford Museum welcomed Chip Collins for an afternoon of his unique perspective on flight, in honor of Veterans Day. (He is included in A Long White Scarf, pg. 51) Chip flew a B29 in WWII, and was test pilot for MIT following the war.
Museum co-director, Marilyn Day, invited author Julia Doten to the event, and introduced her to the full-capacity crowd. Thank-you, Marilyn, that was flattering!

Like a debutane at her coming out party, A Long White Scarf was received with praise at Wilmington's Memorial Library, June 23. The double event was well attended, and included goodies from the book such as Russian Teacakes and Apple Pie - thoughtfully prepared by the Friends of the Library. Thank you to all who helped make the show a success and to those who attended!

Thank you to Bookends in Winchester for a an awesome book signing party, June 21! We had wine and fruit and cheese...oh yes, and a flawless reading by author Julia with help from her sister Janice!
