Interview with Kam Majd: On Navigating Suspense & Unique Perspective as a Pilot and Author
By Robert Milakovic / May 2, 2023
Kam Majd has been flying for over 40 years, most recently as a Boeing 777 Captain for American Airlines in Los Angeles, CA. Now, he has officially logged in his last flight and is focusing on writing full-time. But Kam is no stranger to the world of fiction. He is already an Edgar® Award-nominated author, having authored a mystery thriller a few years back that was shelved because of the events of September 11, 2001.
That book was High Wire, a suspense thriller based on the story of a young female pilot flying an aircraft contaminated with a lethal computer virus. You can see why, despite positive praise from various media sources, High Wire was destined for failure at the time of its first release, as it was quickly pulled off the shelves at bookstores nationwide.
