Dash Away is complete!

News from the past:

The final chapters need revision, but Dash Away is a complete draft! Yay!

This means I have successfully written six novels, with my definition of success being the completion of the final chapter. 

Here's a recap:

Most of this blog has been dedicated to my journey writing my middle grade series, Super Power of the Day. Books and digital versions of the three volumes are still available, although changes in publishing are raising prices and making access (for readers) a little tricky. Someday I'd love to republish the series with a traditional publisher. The dream, of course, is to see Chase Cooper's month of superpowers as a three season televised series. I think that format would be a fantastic fit.

Imagine if when the Kents discovered baby Kal El in their cornfield, Jonathan wanted to turn the baby over to the government/scientists, so Martha took the baby and ran. But high fantasy. The first book in my created world series is a pursuit (first draft complete; needs editing now that I know what it wants to be). The second book is the developing powers/coming of age bit with the beginnings of a quest (unwritten). It's possible that section is two books. I won't know until I write it. The current "third" book is a murder mystery in a castle, where the quest is fulfilled (first draft complete; needs editing now that I know what it wants to be). 


DASH AWAY

When a blizzard interrupts Charlie's Christmas plans, she settles in for a cozy weekend in her nearly-perfect house. But the stranded remnants of a film crew crash into those plans, bringing shy Charlie face-to-face with her romance series crush. A weekend of fun and games slowly turns into something more serious, begging the question: Can a small town girl and a big city celebrity find their happily ever after?
