Based in Adelaide, Natasha is a mother of two and a first time children’s book author. Having spent 15 years in the aviation industry, she experienced firsthand the fascination that people of all ages and backgrounds have with flying. From the aircraft themselves, the staff that crew them, and the hustle of tarmac activity, children particularly are delighted from the moment they step inside an airport. Inspiration to turn a concept conceived over 10 years ago into a reality came from Natasha’s very own family of mini plane spotting enthusiasts. She saw an opportunity to engage children in an industry that is loved yet underrepresented in the children’s book market. With Captain McCool series, Natasha hopes to showcase the amazing aviation industry in an engaging and light-hearted manner with characters who are strong, reliable and conscientious, and in a spirit of good comradery.
