John SandroliniFeatured Author

John Sandrolini (b. 1965), a native Chicagoan, is a captain for a major U.S. airline, with more than 14,000 hours of domestic and international flying in his logbook. A graduate of Northern Illinois University and a veteran of eight years in the Air National Guard, he lives aboard his sloop “La Sirena” in Southern California waters, encountering new characters at every port of call. 

One For Our Baby (2013), Sandrolini's first novel, is about former ace fighter pilot Joe Buonomo, who agrees to fly Frank Sinatra's girlfriend to a screen test. But when Sinatra's new squeeze turns out to be Joe's former fiancée Helen, things go south—especially after Joe drops her off, and Helen doesn't make it to the screen test.
