Cindy Dees

Cindy Dees started flying airplanes while sitting in her dad’s lap at the age of three and got a pilot’s license before she got a driver’s license. At age fifteen, she dropped out of high school and left the horse farm in Michigan where she grew up to attend the University of Michigan.

After earning a degree in Russian and East European studies, she joined the U.S. Air Force and became the youngest female pilot in the history of the Air Force. She flew supersonic jets, VIP airlift and the “C-5” Galaxy, the world’s largest airplane. She also worked part-time gathering intelligence. During her military career, she traveled to forty countries on five continents, was detained by the KGB and East German secret police, she got shot at, flew in the first Gulf War, met her husband and amassed a lifetime’s worth of war stories.

Her hobbies include professional Middle Eastern dancing, Japanese gardening and medieval reenacting. She started writing on a one-dollar bet with her mother and was thrilled to win that bet with the publication of her first book in 2001.

Cindy Dees recommends

Gravewater Lake (2025)
Sonya Sargent and A M Strong
"A.M. Strong and Sonya Sargent have really found their stride in psychological thrillers with their latest novel. Gravewater Lake opens by plummeting off a roller-coaster precipice, then dives into breathless twists and turns that'll keep you flying through this story. With an entire cast of nuanced characters, any one or all of whom may not be who they seem, when people start dying, you'll have no idea who to trust and who to fear. The authors will keep you guessing until the very last page, and even then you'll be surprised at what these two diabolically brilliant writers have cooked up. This one will keep you up late and sleeping with a light on. If you like thrills, chills, and things that go bump in the night, this book is for you."

I Am Justice (2018)
(Black Ops Confidential, book 1)
Diana Muñoz Stewart
"Diana Muñoz Stewart explodes onto the scene with I Am Justice. It's witty, dangerous, fun, and smoking hot—the perfect can't-put-it-down read if you love badass women, honorable men, scary bad guys, non-stop action and steam heat."

Familiar Angel (2017)
(Familiar Love, book 1)
Amy Lane
"Fantastic...a transcendent love story that will sweep you off your feet."
