Whiskey Wednesday--Darn Redneck!!!!



You know the age old question "How do you get your ideas?". We all want to get inside a writer's head and be apart of that creative process. Well, the Redneck got inside my head and now I'll need a bottle of whiskey to deal with it!!!!!

Many of you know that "Heart Of The Storm" has a sequel in the works. The premise for "Eye Of The Storm" is darker, filled with angst. I've been worried that the mood of the sequel was too dark for the series. The Redneck, who is very excited about my book release, started asking questions. Why is Pogie retired in "Eye of the Storm"? What happened to make him hang it up? What creates the dark mood for "Eye" in the first place? And then the fateful words. "It sounds like you have another book between the first one and "Eye of the Storm"."

I wanted to kill him.

And he's right. There are some unanswered questions in "Heart Of The Storm" that I'd like to answer. So, "Edge of the Storm" is created. Also set on The Bering Sea, this one features the Coast Guard and crab fishing, but there will be more scenes on land. Alaska is so much more than fishing and the oil pipeline. Pogie will be a recurring character in this one as well and will become a captain unexpectedly.

I have a lot of work to do. I've set a goal of 50K by the end of September. I'll let you know how it goes.

Darn Redneck.
