Newport Beach's newest residents are five self-described "Blond Bombshells." The sassy flight attendants converge in swanky Corona Del Mar seeking love, wealth & happinesss; not necessarily in that order. But it's their firefighter-landlords who must fasten teir own seatbelts as they watch the All West Coast Airlines girls and "Enjoy the Ride." Flying Embers is sure to make the reader laugh, cry, cringe and cheer! 267 pages, 101,000 words in 18 chapters provides an insider's look at these two "glamorous, exciting and intriguing" groups. Captivating, Astounding, Humorous, Sad and more… Based on real life events- Firefighters and Flight Attendants may be thought to have exciting, glamorous, fun and even mysterious occupations. What do you think? Here’s an insider’s look at the personal lives of people from both groups. Firefighters; we depend on them and trust that they’ll be there when we need them the most. You’ll meet some firefighters and get some insight about how they really are around each other and in the company of women. All West Coast Airlines' is a Canadian based company operating in Canada, Mexico and in the U.S. As in all work places, cliques exist among the employees and those small groups seem to take on their own identity and persona. AWCA is no exception. Take a peek into the private lives of a particular group of Orange County, CA flight attendants as they weave their way through their work, their twenties, their dating , marrying and yes, their social positioning. Follow them as they begin as “have-nots,” manipulate the “haves” and the “have lots,” while they strategically place themselves in just the right spot to make the most of their sinister efforts. The risks are present but the stakes are high. Shrewd and ruthless conduct has its place when a girl has her sights set on success…or that of someone else’s. Welcome Aboard! Book uses very minimal obscenities and only mild sexual references.


About The Author

Pasternak, a career Newport firefighter shifts gears from driving fire engines to writing about his 33 years in the wealthy, swanky Orange County community of Corona Del Mar, an exclusive section of the destination-resort city of Newport Beach, Ca. Jim Pasternak methodically takes you through the fires, the emergeny calls, the travels and the adventures of the characters as he verbally paints the picture of every scene in the book. You'll feel as if you're actually there and you may just see yourself in the place of one or more of the "players" in this game of real life!
