JET PILOT TAKING FLIGHT AS ROMANCE WRITER

JET PILOT TAKING FLIGHT AS ROMANCE WRITER

ROCKLIN, Ca. (Wireless Flash) -- A 747 pilot has another career taking flight -- as a romance author. She's 40-year-old Susan Grant Gunning and when she isn't flying to Australia or Asia for United Airlines, she's writing sky-high romance novels. The airline author says her books are inspired by the people and places she encounters during her flights -- but there aren't any steamy "Mile High Club" scenes. Other sections are simply inspired by her imagination -- such as plane crashes which occur in a few of her novels. Although Gunning's husband tells his pals he's the model for the hunky guys on her book covers, she claims most of the love scenes are inspired by her "overactive imagination."
