The Year of the Series is in full swing. I’ve been so lost in my novel’s world having fun that I nearly forgot to come up for air and check in with the blog. And now that I’m here, I’m pleased as punch to report that the first part of the first book is done. Woo-hoo! So far so good on the schedule.

In other, useful news, I started using the fun and helpful 2015 Word Count Tracker by Christie Yant to track my progress. It’s less about hitting a number every day for me, but more about watching the numbers steadily climb. What I really like about it is the colors change based on your word count. It forced me one day to stretch for an extra few hundred words to see it turn gold! So anything that results in me writing more words, is a good thing in my book. If you’re a writer and interested in tracking your progress, I suggest you check it out.

I’m also pleased to report The Watchers is being well received (here too). I love that story. Go little story, go! Check it out if you haven’t yet already.

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.
