So What’s Next For Anchor Point?
Anchor Point is a series, so obviously there will be… more books. When? Soon! I know. Vague.
Book #2, Afraid to Fly, is already available for pre-order, and releases in January. This is the story of Travis, Paul’s friend from Just Drive. A former fighter pilot, he’s focused on making it through each day—and however many years before the Navy forces him to retire—with relentless back pain thanks to the crash that grounded him. He meets Clint, a traumatized ex-RAP (drone pilot) who’s trying to put his life back and career together.
Book #3 is currently in the works. I’m not 100% sure when it’ll be released, but hopefully in 2017. After that, I have at least three or four more books planned, and hope to continue past that.
The series will operate a lot like its civilian predecessor, Bluewater Bay—sometimes characters from previous books will show up and play big roles, sometimes they’ll have cameos, and sometimes it’ll be a completely different story with a completely different cast. Anchor Point isn’t a huge town, and Naval Air Station Adams (the actual base) isn’t an enormous base, but there are still thousands of people, so they won’t all cross paths.
The first two books focus on senior officers. Paul is a captain trying to make admiral. Travis is a commander trying to make captain. Clint is a lieutenant commander who’s just trying not to get kicked out. Book #3 will shift gears and look at an enlisted character.
In future books, there will be officers and enlisted. Some will be stationed on the base itself, others will be aboard one of the ships home-ported there. There might even be the odd cameo from some of the characters in my other military books! As with Bluewater Bay, you never know who’s going to show up or what’s going to happen.
So, stay tuned – there is definitely more Anchor Point on the way!
