Rebecca McLendon - Author

I was born and grew up mostly in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas and some time in Ft. Worth, Texas. After attending University of Texas at Austin and surviving the turbulent Sixties, I graduated, married, and had three children. We now have 4 grandchildren. I am a retired Secondary School Teacher of English, Spanish and Art, living with my husband of 56 years in the beautiful piney woods of East Texas.

I wrote my "first" book when I could hold a piece of chalk to my giant chalkboard that my grandparents gave me. I would "draw" and "talk" and spin many tales. I lived a book life in my child's play, diaries and subsequently blogging. As I began flying lessons, I began to document my experiences with each lesson, coupling them with spiritual applications. My readers began telling me, "Becky, you have a book." A fellow author and long time friend, John L. Moore, said, "Beck you will write a book in 2014, and it will be about flying." I met another aviator, and author who sealed the inspiration to bring the book into reality. Sure enough I wrote my first book in 2014: THE DAY I GREW WINGS.

While I am a Private Pilot, I am also into music, piano being my principal instrument followed by guitar and synthesizer. Composing music, like writing and flying, are my passions.
