Astra the lonely airplane never has to be lonely again! 

Astra the lonely airplane never has to be lonely again! Her new hangar in sunny LA is home to three amazing new friends: Lana, a sleek, beautiful Learjet; a giant cargo plane named Hank; and Helen the crime-fighting helicopter.

In fact, they're all so cool that Astra soon starts to wonder if she's cut out for life in Hollywood! But when Lana, Hank, and Helen are each faced with unexpected problems, Astra discovers that you don't need to be the fastest, the strongest, or the bravest to be important. It's being a good friend that makes you a star!

Her company, Phillippi-Whitney Communications, LLC, founded in 2000, represents both large and small clients in a wide variety of industries. She has promoted dozens of authors throughout her career, often supplementing the efforts of the internal PR teams of their publishers.

Julie lives in Cincinnati with her husband Dan—a corporate pilot, on whom Captain Dan in the book was based—and who, as a naval aviator and USNA grad, flew the P-3 Orion, and then later, a Gulfstream G100 (Astra) for thirteen years. With four grown children, they are now empty-nesters and love spending time with their black lab, Brody, and also enjoy traveling, boating, golfing, and all types of physical fitness.
