It wasn’t until kindergarten that she realized not every family owned an airplane! Today she is a wife, mother, grandmother, writer, and private pilot living in Northeast Ohio, with her husband Stephen and of course their faithful canine companions, Mia Sophia and Cooper Sebastian. Beyond flying for the pure joy, Charlene is excited to share her passions for writing and flying with the next generation. Through tales of adventure and friendship designed to capture the imagination, she hopes to inspire her young audience to explore the opportunities of aviation – to the clouds and beyond.view less
