Wine & Words: Cindy Dees - Former Airforce Pilot & Bestselling Author

Chandor Gardens Foundation invites you to the next Wine & Words event on Saturday, November 16, 2024 at Chandor Gardens with New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Cindy Dees sharing stories about her time in the Air Force, how she became an author, and about her newest series of spy thriller books. Doors open at 6:30 PM and the talk starts at 7:30 PM.

As a former Air Force pilot – the youngest female pilot in its history – Texan Cindy Dees flew supersonic jets, VIP airlift, and the C-5 Galaxy, one of the world’s largest cargo airplanes. She also worked in intelligence, traveling to forty-two countries on five continents. She was detained by the KGB and East German secret police, got shot at, flew in the first Gulf War, and amassed a lifetime’s worth of life experience to fuel her stories of life on the edge of danger.

As a military veteran who worked in intelligence, Cindy’s real-life experiences supercharge her novels with authenticity while offering readers an intimate insider's look at government intelligence.

From former spy-turned-New York Times bestselling author Cindy Dees, comes SECOND SHOT (Book 1 released May 2023) and DOUBLE TAP (Book 2, released May 2024) the exhilaratingly sharp, action-packed thriller series featuring the unforgettable Helen Warwick, a highly skilled CIA assassin of a certain age who’s trying to navigate retirement, settle into a normal life, and reconnect with her family meets with resistance from enemies old and new. A government assassin. A sociopathic killer. Hunters and the hunted in the ultimate game of deception, double-cross, and death.
