Greg Brown is a widely published author, designer, photographer, and artist. Author of five commercially published books with more in progress, Mr. Brown was named November 2003 Barnes & Noble Arizona Author of the Month. Some reviewers have compared his book, "Flying Carpet," to sixties road-trip classics like "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance," and Jack Kerouac’s "On the Road." Mr. Brown is also in his tenth year as aviation adventure columnist for "AOPA Flight Training," a national newsstand magazine published by the world’s largest pilot association.
For those bewildered by Greg’s schizophrenia between the arts and aviation, some understanding may be derived from one of his favorite quotes, taken from "The War in the Air," 1922, by Sir Walter Raleigh: “The engine is the heart of an aeroplane, but the pilot is its soul.” |
