Finally getting there!
A Seller's Market will be available for preorder in the next couple of weeks and will be released the same day as Weigh Anchor, the 26th book in the original Jesse McDermitt Caribbean Adventure Series.
Both will be available for preorder by the end of the month and will be released on November 1. In the meantime, here's the new cover.
This will be the first book in the Young Jesse McDermitt Tropical Adventure Series, where we get to know Jesse in his formative years. In this book, he's 17 and fresh out of boot camp with his new friend Jim Thurman, who has just picked up the nickname Rusty. We'll meet Frank and Norma McDermitt, Jesse's grandparents who raised him, and learn more about Bo and Helen McDermitt, Jesse's parents, and the circumstances of their deaths. We'll meet a younger Billy Rainwater and learn more about Jesse's connection to him and his father, and why Billy builds 4x4s. There's even a passing meeting with Tank Tankersley, though his name isn't mentioned. That's an Easter egg. I'm sure fans of the original series will have no trouble finding him.
In fact, this book is full of Easter eggs, as Jesse is learning many of the skills and sayings he uses in later life. I'm having such a blast writing this book--it practially writes itself--that it's almost half written already.
The idea for this new series came to me when I was talking to a youngish friend, an active duty Marine, who'd just returned from leave where he got married down in Florida. They honeymooned in Key West and he might or might not have gotten into a bit of trouble. Warning to all: Any conversation with me is fodder for fiction.
Anyway, I realized that during his twenty years in the Corps, Jesse would have had twenty 30-day leaves, and since I haven't written any flashbacks to those events in the current series, I had twenty possible books where Jesse would go on leave to some tropical location or another.
The series will be alphabetical, starting with A Seller's Market. The next one will be Blue Heaven in 2024, then Cocaine Cowboy later that year, and Deadly Gambit in 2025.
This isn't replacing the current series, but I think these books will give the current series more depth.
This sounds phenomenal!!!! Can’t wait to read them.
Sounds like a great idea. Can’t wait to read about young Jesse and his adventures or misadventures😂.

Yes you always tell us how they all met. Now this will clarify it more. Now we should be able to get the whole picture.
I like where your going here. There seems to be a plethora of events we pondered while reading the first series. Now we can actual know how it all comes together.

Julie Pattin Mashburn
Fall!!?? We have to patiently wait all summer?
I just subscribed again Wayne and it went thru this time...was wondering why I haven't had any emails from ya lately. Can't wait for new book
Would love to read this series. CLC Editing. Cheryl Lynne Walker, former editor to Mike Pettit.
Look forward to every new book. I've read all of them so far.
Wow! It's been more than two years since I posted this.
Tropical Authors now has more than 40 author members, each one vetted before becoming a member.
This means at least two or three new releases are featured in each newsletter, now sent on the 1st and 15th of every month. Also, you can count on several of our member authors running promotions for discounted or even free books.
While the newsletter isn't yet weekly, it has grown. And we want to grow it some more. But organically.
I write exactly the type of books that I prefer to read. So, if you like what I write, odds are you'll like what I read.
My reading list is now comprised solely of Tropical Author Members. Well, until Randy Wayne White releases a new Doc Ford or Hannah Smith book.
This content isn't available right now
When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.
So, how do you work on multiple projects at the same time? I get asked that a lot, because I do it a lot. Currently, I have two books with editors, actually, one still is, and the other is ready for rewrite starting tomorrow. While I was still writing in both of those, I started writing a third book, and developing the idea for a fourth. I use a very simple method to stay on track.
I set a goal. In this case, to release two books at once on July 1, four months after my last release, and then two more on November 1, two months after those two.
Then I created a managable and conservative plan, involving the many moving parts of writing four books at once.
According to most business professionals the next step is simple. Implement like hell.
Set a goal.
Create a plan to achieve that goal.
Stick to the plan.
I'm happy to report that now that Liable Charity and No Collar to Tank Top are out of my hands and I can work on just two books, I'm not only on schedule, but my word count goal for BOTH books for all of NEXT week has already been met.
Wow
And you get to go fishing, too!!!
Plan your work and work your plan… That was one of the themes they pushed when I was on recruiting duty for our beloved Corps. It has worked well for me along the way.
I like it. How many hrs a day do you work?
Ha. I no longer can walk and chew gum at the same time.
Sounds a lot like a weight training schedule too.
This vintage postcard sits where I can see it from my computer.
And the back.
Thank you for sharing! I was thinking that yesterday. I have a fiction book almost ready to publish but need e-book and print book, am working on a TV script (must speed that up due to strike), a non-fic book about fake gems, my next fiction novel, argh!
One the best tips I learned being a71R (broadcast journalist) for AFRTS in the Army was when it comes to a live news broadcast, you need to start with the end (sign off time) and work backwards. That concept taught me how to breakdown a project back to front and served me well my entire career. Many a time my supervisors marveled at the fact that I never came close to missing a deadline, no matter how challenging the project. And I always said to myself just back time it!
The more you right , the more I read.
Serious self discipline there! And you have that spare unaccounted for month in the middle Can't wait👩💻
How you don't confuse your story lines is beyond me!😳
Amazing
We got a puppy!
Milly is a nine-week-old dachshund mix. Maybe chihuahua, which would mean she's a chiweenie. She came from a litter of eight girls and one boy, at a no-kill shelter in Ridgeland, SC.
Wonderful!
whats the name?
Love those beautiful big puppy eyes 🥰. What did you call him/her?
Awwwww
Precious!
❤️🥰❤️ Congratulations!
Cutie
Congratulations
Adorable
So adorable!❤️
Adorable!!!!!!!!!!!

Now you’re in trouble! 🤣
Melt your heart ❤️
FINN
I hope he dives for clams!
What a cute one! Have fun!
Adorable!
Congratulations!!!❤️🐾❤️
That face!
So sweet
Ohhhh🩵🩵🩵🩵Chiweenies are amazing. Bella is one 🩵🩵🩵
So, I'm writing some scenes set on Parris Island when Jesse is in boot camp and found something kinda funny. If you're a Marine, you've heard this over and over. "Get on line! Three! Two! One!"
Well, MS Word wants me to change on line to online.
Ah... the seventies. Such a simpler time.
Thank You for your service.
Sometimes auto correct drives me crazy
Get online.now!!
I hate when computers try to do my writing for me! It interrupts my creative flow and makes me wonder why I spent those years following my ETS earning a B.A. if l was going to be overruled by a computer program. Yes, the seventies were a simpler time and easier in many ways. 😎
Semper Fi Marine!
Footprints on the parade grounds...thousands of them. Not a lick of shade.
for sure- all the crazy stuff going on
Type slower. Oh wait, don't. 🤣
Absolutely no shade on the parade ground. And may God help you if you killed a sand flea. Lol. Military honors and standing guard over the grave after your D.I. made you bury it. Sempre Fi and thanks for your service. I was at P.I. in July and it was so freaking hot.
My auto correct is wrong so much it's pathetic, as is spell correct. Makes me wonder who's the programmer.
Word does have its' quirks 😳
I long for the Editor that I used back with CPM, before there was a Microsoft
Already preordered for 1st July in UK 😀
Can't wait already preordered
