I'm playing with pirates and tropical islands in the novel I am writing, but the cold got me thinking of great dialogue for my lovable side character if he were put in a frozen situation. Might have to flex that muscle later. #wip #dystopian #pirates #authorbrain

Eva is drowning in the chaos and blood, lost to shock and the grief of the past. The only thing that can pull her back is the secret The Major has been holding since they met... and the danger it set in motion.

An Abundance of Caution

Four pictures. One of an eerie abandoned bike, one of something creepy and backlit, one of a rusted power plant tank that reads ‘safety before productivity….always!’ And one of smoke stacks with creepy blue haze. The title “An Abundance of Caution” is in the middle in white font.

The Catalyst: Helm of the Awakening

Pirates of the Caribbean X Hunger Games

⛵️Enemies to lovers
🌶️Neurospicy representation
🏴‍☠️High-stakes pirate crew
🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQ+ positive representation
🏋️‍♀️Revolution and a powerful woman

(And my first ever boat art 😉)
A red sailed brigantine ship drawn by Raven Youngblood Seiren Westfall, Captain of the Catalyst, is in the business of pirating people for the resistance. Science has reached a new evolutionary milestone and people that were once labeled neurodivergent are beginning to shape their instinctual advantage. A man with ADHD can develop his brain to have super-human perspective. A charismatic woman can train her skills to own a room. A person with autism can grow to solve impossible equations. And the World Council can’t let that happen. As more people begin to show new and powerful skills and threaten the ironclad control of the government, they are quietly tucked away and labeled “Maladaptive”. With each new law they are being systemically wiped from the face of history. Going undercover and infiltrating Council facilities, the crew of The Catalyst is on a mission to rescue as many Maladaptives as they can and bring them into the resistance. The Captain yearns for a peaceful life at sea but her sails are filled with the winds of revolution. She must answer its call– risking her ship, her crew and her humanity– or watch the world sink to the depths around her.

I just spent three hours setting up my dystopian pirate adventure book series in Scrivener! I love a good parallel but my goal is to be done with the zero draft by October 1 when I leave for my cruise.

I have 8700 words in and aiming for 78000.

Let’s do this!

Character Interview with Elle McIntyre.
If the world were ending, Elle McIntyre would not run. She would stand on the edge of ruin, poring strength into the people she loved until her last breath. Even death would not stop her will. Her priority would be the care of Jack, the seven-year-old orphan who has become her shadow and her spark. He’s her favorite co-conspirator, her miniature partner in crime, and the force that would set her resolve. Together with her husband Sayre, Elle would meet the end with fire in her eyes and an unstoppable love in her soul.
