Summary:

They saved the ship. Now everyone wants them dead.

Jacks Harrison and chief engineer Antony Watts avoided a catastrophic collision between their generation ship Peace and their three sister ships that would have killed every human in the fleet. But saving their people came with a cost, and now Jacks and Antony are wanted by the rebellious factions that overthrew Peace’s corrupt governor.

With Peace’s two cities in shambles and neighbor turning against neighbor, Jacks and Antony must fight their way to safety only to find that the people on Peace are still in terrible danger: the ship’s water system is bleeding out, and it’s up to them to figure out how stop it.

Along the way, Jacks must reckon with the violence she finds herself too comfortable with and Antony must confront his past complicity in the corrupt regime. Because Peace doesn’t hand out easy answers, and they both have to decide how far they’re willing to go to ensure they survive.

  • whoops; it's been a month

     I did not mean to let a month go by without posting.

    I've been busy lately with getting my book Surviving Peace ready to publish next week--and the subsequent crash after I got everything loaded to retailers, and my brains was like - Done! I'm sorry in advance that I'm going to be posting about it a bunch next week.

    In other fun news, I finally finished watching season 1 of The Pitt last week and I'm through episode 4 of season 2. I absolutely love the show and am obsessed. We're shipping Robby and Abbot, right? Because yes please.

    On the game front I am working through Hades II, which has been a lot fun. I like that they've put two pathways in. It's really helped with each run to have another option. They've done a really great job with the game and story. I <3 Nemesis and Dora on the companion side of things. 

    For other tv, Husband and I are watching The Apothecary Diaries. We were coming off of season 1 of Frieren (so much love), so at first we were a little meh, but now we're all in. The hard part is the complicated court politics reveals that happen very quickly so we sometimes have to pause and figure it out. Mao Mao is wonderful though, such a gremlin and I'm here for it. 

    Currently, I'm reading the third book in a romance series, Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez. It's good. The whole series has been good. She lets there be obstacles that come from real pain and baggage, which make the third act much more bearable. I think one of my issues with traditional romance beats is that I myself take people at their word in relationships, and I find it so frustrating when a character in their head goes "he says he loves me. but of course he loves his ex not me." And I get that this is a real thing, but it is so foreign to my own thought processes that it drives me nuts. Jimenez's writing makes me much more empathetic to her characters when they do that, because that is very much part of their journey in a genuine way, rather than it feeling forced. Anyway. They're good. I'm having fun. 



    A scattered weekly proof of life

    I have worked. Uh. A lot. Over the past three weeks. o_o But now it's the weekend, and I don't currently have a rewrite to work on, and March Break lies ahead; the spring crunch isn't finished, but it's on hiatus for the week, and a normal workweek is a breath of fresh air at this point. (Also I'm taking a couple of days off during it.)

    Yesterday work wrapped up early enough that I had an actual evening, so I was finally able to start Butterfly Effects, the fifteenth (!) InCryptid book. ("Finally" is a bit of a stretch, I guess, since it's still the release week, but this is a Sarah-narrated book. Mostly. SARAH.)

    So my hopes for the weekend are pretty much: avoid napping (I don't find naps restorative and feel groggier after than before I started); finish reading Butterfly Effects; watch this week's The Pitt and hopefully the temporarily-streaming production of The Importance of Being Earnest with [personal profile] scruloose; get [personal profile] scruloose to redo my undercut; and (also with [personal profile] scruloose) do a second round of advance-prepping ten or so bags of the dry ingredients for my breakfast banana bread while also baking up a new batch of loaves. I think that last will also require decanting cinnamons from bags into jars, so maybe we'll manage a bit of other spice decanting/sorting while we're at it.

    Second thing: Finished watching Heated Rivalry )

    Last week was once again mostly swallowed by work and I'm very tired, plus I have to final-read a rewrite this afternoon.

    Between Friday night and yesterday, I managed to read a couple manga volumes and [personal profile] scruloose and I saw the new ep. of The Pitt.

    That's all I've got right now.
