I am pleased to announce the publication of the second book in the JJ Wyatt series. “The Next Waypoint” is now available in Paperback and eBook formats and can be purchased from this site or from Amazon.
The Story
When seasoned pilot JJ Wyatt begins to sense that his career is drifting toward something bigger, he has no idea how quickly that “something” will arrive. In the second novel of the JJ Wyatt trilogy, JJ is approached by senior leadership from a powerful Charlotte-based aviation department—drawn by his rare ability to see problems clearly and solve them without drama. What begins as a conversation soon becomes an offer he can’t ignore: Director of Operations for a global fleet of seven business jets, overseeing 28 pilots and 14 Cabin Attendants, with the world itself—Europe, the Far East, and everywhere in between—now within reach.
But JJ has long been viewed as something of an airline management antagonist. Will that reputation be enough to derail his chances, or will he rise to the challenge and try to make a real difference? Spoiler alert: JJ takes the job—and quickly discovers why the company has been plagued by turmoil and high turnover.
Along the way, JJ faces a level of conflict he never imagined, both professionally and personally. As his story unfolds, he struggles with internal doubts, health concerns, personal relationships that refuse to stay simple, and the relentless demands of leadership.
Thankfully, there is always Waypoint Ranch to return to. About once a month, JJ retreats to his home base in Eagleville, Tennessee—his own version of nirvana, a place to restore his mind, body, and soul.
If you enjoy aviation novels filled with conflict, resolution, and fast-moving, easy-to-read chapters, you’ll want to join the many readers already discovering The Next Waypoint.
