Promoting authors is nothing new to Cincinnati native and local PR professional Julie Whitney, but she never dreamt the day would come when she would be publishing her own book. “Publishing a book was never on my bucket list,” says Whitney. “Although I have helped dozens of authors with book launches, publicity and signings throughout my career, I never actually intended to become one myself. But when my husband unexpectedly lost his job as a Chief Corporate Pilot on May 5, 2020 due to the COVID pandemic, I felt compelled to turn lemons into lemonade and write a book about it. And that book has now turned into a series!” Astra The Lonely Airplane, a rhyming picture book, was released on March 2, 2022. The book is appropriate for children ages 3-10, and includes a 3-minute video with an up close and personal tour of Astra with the real Captain Dan, (Whitney’s husband), along with a two-page-glossary. There are also free coloring and activity sheets that may be downloaded on Whitney’s website at astrathelonelyairplane.com. The second book in the series, Astra In Hollywood, will be released on March 4, 2024 during “Read Across America Week.” In this sequel, Astra finds herself in her new hangar in Hollywood, surrounded by three new friends: Lana, a sleek beautiful Learjet; a giant cargo plane named Hank; and Helen the crime-fighting helicopter! When Lana, Hank and Helen are each faced with unexpected problems, Astra discovers that you don’t need to be the fastest, strongest or bravest to be important. It’s being a good friend that makes you a star! You can meet Whitney in person at her upcoming Storytimes at: -Joseph-Beth Booksellers in Rookwood Pavilion on Saturday March 9th at 11:00am -The Bookmatters in Milford on Saturday, March 23rd at 10:30am -The Bookery in Columbia Tusculum on Saturday, April 13th at 10:30am The book is now available for pre-orders for hardback ($26.95) and softback ($15.95) on Amazon.com, BN.com, Bookshop.org, and at bookstores throughout Greater Cincinnati and coast-to-coast.
