An Unconditional Friendship: Messages from a Colorful Granny and an Off-Color Gay Guy

By James Pauley, Charlene Potterbaum

Enjoy the antics of two very "freed-up sentient beings" who have taken hilarity to a precarious level as they wing their way into your heart. (Jim is a flight attendant and Charlene is. . . well, she's just flighty). Share their joy, laughter, and even a few tears as they warm hearts and open minds in this straightforward account of true friendship. With honest conversations, humor, probing, accepting, sharing, and understanding, they quite possibly could knock down even more barriers involving discrimination, ignorance, bigotry, and inequality.

James Pauley, Jr. was a flight attendant from 1978 to 2023, a career he loved. It gave him the opportunity to see the world, meet thousands of interesting people, witness things not for the faint of heart, and get lots of material for future writing endeavors. He lives in Indiana with Rich, his spouse of forty-two years. He is the author of Bumpy Rides and Soft Landings.

Charlene Potterbaum is the mother of six, who is still scratching her head, wondering how she and her husband, Gene, raised them. She has loved writing from an early age. Through it, she could create characters or be whoever she wanted to be. Now in her ninth decade, she lives in Indiana and is the author of Joy of Six and the best-selling Thanks Lord, I Needed That.
