I wrote last time that the next time I checked in I would likely report that the first draft of my current novel WIP is done. I am much relieved (and somewhat surprised at how fast this Saturday loomed up on me) to write that I, in fact, did finish the first draft of the novel on May 28th! I’m stoked, it came in at 108k.

I have some editing to do, and then let it sit for awhile while I map out book two which I’ll start to write in the fall of 2015. For now, I’ve already started to write the Underwater Restorations novel–man are those characters fun. I need to be careful with them. I’m targeting a 60k novel to help put me back on track for three novels this year, but those characters have too much fun and if I’m not careful that word count will soon blow up as I simply enjoy spending too much time with them.

In fact, I think I’ll go visit with Isa, Puo, and Winn right now. Until next time!

The Solid-State Shuffle: Sunken City Capers Book 1

Almost a hundred years ago, a major terrestrial event reshaped the earth’s coastlines. Goodbye entire cities. Goodbye entire states. Goodbye entire countries. And when the authorities outlawed salvaging from these sunken sites, why say hello to a new breed of criminal: underwater reclamation specialists. Even a hundred years later, there’s still a whole lot of loot for the reclaiming. Get it here.

But it’s not theft if you put it back. Right?

After cracking an underwater vault in their first major job in the Seattle Isles, Isa and her crew think they’re on easy street again—that is, if they can figure out what it is exactly they stole. A question, they soon learn, where their very lives hang in the balance.

Thrust into a high-stakes game of subterfuge and deception by the local mob Boss, Isa and her crew must scramble to unravel the mystery of what is they stole while unseen forces move against them.

Harried. Threatened at every turn. Isa and her crew must stay one step ahead to stay alive.

Sunken City Capers is a fun post-apocalyptic series with no zombies, just criminals and mischievous ne’er-do-wells. Fans of heist novels/movies and strong female protagonists will likely enjoy this series.
