Lt. Commander Mollie Sanders - Softcover
Praise for LT. COMMANDER MOLLIE SANDERS -- for military technothriller readers who enjoy a fictional female character in a traditionally male role:
"This book is certainly full of action, a page turner, most entertaining and a quick read."--Joan A. Adamak
"While much of the story line about the lead character, Lt. Cdr. Sanders, stretches reality a little, it's fun reading. One of my favorite authors, James Patterson, stretches reality as well. As an X-Air Craft Carrier based veteran, I found the story fast moving and entertaining."--Brad Nelson
"Lt. Commander Mollie Sanders is a great read. She embodies the traits of Ziva of NCIS fame. A strong woman operating in a man's world. I can't wait for another book extolling the exploits of Mollie Sanders."--William G. Knapp
For those who love sea adventures (including submarines) and technothrillers:
Lt. Commander Mollie Sanders is a U.S. Navy officer who has striven to be the best even if it earns her enemies. A graduate of the Naval Academy, she is an electronic weapons officer tasked with coming up with new weapon designs.
When she gets assigned to an aircraft carrier as a Navy fighter pilot's backseater, a missile attack on her plane leads to a mission to try to save the port of Los Angeles from a suspected terrorist attack.
She must channel her overwhelming competitive drive in order to work as a team with other Navy personnel and the Coast Guards to find a needle in a haystack. From there a twist in the mission takes her to Alaska, where the anti-missile defense site may have been compromised.
Next she bulldozes her way into being the first female assigned to a sub smaller than a boomer. She wants to be the one to test the new defensive weapons system she designed as the sub undertakes a reconnaissance mission to the hotly contested South China Sea.
She is unaware that her past is about to catch up to her present in a bizarre situation she could never have foreseen.
This U.S. Navy submarine sea adventure is a fast-paced thriller.

From the Author:
Women in the Military (Including Serving on Subs):
The novel LT. COMMANDER MOLLIE SANDERS that I wrote with my husband features the first woman serving on a sub.
When Mitch and I originally wrote the story, women were not yet serving on subs in the U.S. Navy. So we came up with a story reason for LCDR Mollie Sanders to be the first woman. (Note that a lieutenant commander in the U.S. Navy is the same as a major in the U.S. Army.)
On May 29, 2012, the White House's Council on Women and Girls posted Brad Cooper's article "Women Chart a New Course Onboard U.S. Navy Submarines":
Now I understand that not everyone knows that women are now serving on U.S. subs. So when LT. COMMANDER MOLLIE SANDERS was free for one day on Amazon thanks to the KDP Select program, I did not get overly upset when I got this message on Facebook from a man about the novel:
I sent back this Facebook message:
And the man actually thanked me for "correcting" him.
He did go on to wonder how billeting would be arranged on the sub, which Mitch and I deal with in our fiction story.
On the same day I read the Military Times news story "Female military members sue to serve in combat" by Paul Elias of the Associated Press
To summarize the article, women are suing because, without access to certain combat positions, their chances for promotion are hindered.
The article goes on to say that the lawsuit "alleges that women are already serving unofficially in combat units. Air National Guard Major Mary Jennings Hegar sustained shrapnel wounds in 2009 when she exchanged fire on the ground in Afghanistan after her Medevac helicopter was shot down." (She received a Purple Heart medal for her injuries.)
In conclusion, it is a brave new world for women serving in the U.S. military.

In 2009, U.S. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus announced that for the first time in Navy history, women would be assigned to serve aboard Navy submarines.
Yesterday, the first contingent of 24 women who completed the Navy's nuclear submarine program met with President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama at the White House. They were joined by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus and the Vice Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Mark Ferguson.
Now I understand that not everyone knows that women are now serving on U.S. subs. So when LT. COMMANDER MOLLIE SANDERS was free for one day on Amazon thanks to the KDP Select program, I did not get overly upset when I got this message on Facebook from a man about the novel:
This really stretches reality. Women have made great advances in the military, but submarine duty isn't among them.
I sent back this Facebook message:
When Mitch and I wrote the story women weren't yet on U.S. subs and that is part of the point of the novel. BUT ... women are now on U.S. subs.
And the man actually thanked me for "correcting" him.
He did go on to wonder how billeting would be arranged on the sub, which Mitch and I deal with in our fiction story.
On the same day I read the Military Times news story "Female military members sue to serve in combat" by Paul Elias of the Associated Press
To summarize the article, women are suing because, without access to certain combat positions, their chances for promotion are hindered.
[M]ore than 144 female troops have been killed and more than 860 have been wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan since the wars began, according to Pentagon statistics. Roughly 20,000 of the 205,000 service members currently serving in Afghanistan are women.
The article goes on to say that the lawsuit "alleges that women are already serving unofficially in combat units. Air National Guard Major Mary Jennings Hegar sustained shrapnel wounds in 2009 when she exchanged fire on the ground in Afghanistan after her Medevac helicopter was shot down." (She received a Purple Heart medal for her injuries.)
In conclusion, it is a brave new world for women serving in the U.S. military.
