Wilson’s second book is described as “full of action and adventure, dangerous and heart-stopping rescues, blizzards and floods, family secrets and second chances. Clear to Lift is a thrilling woman’s journey as she finds confidence, truth, love and herself against the majestic backdrop of the Sierra Nevada.

Wilson, a former Navy helicopter pilot, writes about what she knows. The new book is about Navy helicopter pilot Lt. Alison Malone.

Her first book, Hover, was about another Navy pilot, Sara Denning, who faces challenges as a female in a male-dominated world.

Wilson is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy. She is a Phoenix native. She and her husband, who own a triathlon coaching company, Camelback Coaching, live in Fountain Hills with their two sons.
