Hi Martha, and I hope it is OK to assume we are on first name terms, being fellow aerodromers (if that is a word). Actually the firsttime I "met" you was on the "What are you reading now" thread, when you confessed to not reading much at all, so it is quite an undertaking to write a book. Graham Greene said all writers should read at least two books a week, so how are you doing on that??
I also have a book in my laptop waiting to come up for air, and I have written a lot of other stuff, from songs to screenplays, all of it - except some of the songs - only for my own amusement, or so it seems!! I haven't read through all your material yet, but I like the easy conversational style of the bits I have read, and if it is consistent, it is certainly a wonderful and original story, and you look great in the Earhart gear!! And as someone said on page 1, to have a dream and fulfill it is an achievement in itself!! Good luck with those stone-headed publishers out there, let's hope you find one with the vision not to think you have to be a sports personality to publish a memoir!! (Or have I missed the bit where you already have a publisher? In which case, oops, and I promise to read the whole thread soon)...
