About this author

A private pilot, Reya Kempley sought a way to learn about in-flight emergencies that better simulated the realities of decision making that all pilots face. She learned to fly with her brother after earning a bachelor's degree in Chemistry with a minor in Art from the University of Nevada, Reno, and discovered a new passion in aviation. She currently runs a business with her family and enjoys flying with her brother in the beautiful and challenging landscape of the American West.

In her spare time, in addition to flying and enjoying the outdoors, Reya pursues target shooting, a sport in which she has competed since the age of nine. Representing the USA in three World Shooting Championships, she was a member of a medal-winning team each time.

Reya Kempley is on page 157 of 248 of The Scarlet Pimpernel: Great suspenseful and romantic read! I already knew who the Scarlet Pimpernel was from the movie, but that hasn't diminished the suspense of the book for me. Or maybe it's enhanced it?
