Saturday Spotlight | "Les Stone Cold Killers" Book Release by A. Ware

In addition to the usual blog posts every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday about our travel adventures and day-to-day life living aboard a sailboat, I also occasionally post on Saturdays, focusing on things related to writing such as cover reveals, book launches, reviews, interviews with authors etc. So if you're a bit of a book nerd like I am, check in on Saturdays - you never know what might pop up.

Today, I'm featuring >>Les Stone Cold Killers<< written by Autumn Ware, a bloggy pal and fellow sailor. I had so much fun reading this book. Autumn has created captivating characters - including two amazingly fierce, fearless, and stylish secret agents - she writes spectacular action scenes, and her descriptions of France will make you want to travel there tout de suite. James Bond, watch out - the girls are in town.


About the Book

>>Les Stone Cold Killers<< is the first book in the new campy cloak-and-dagger series, >>Perilous and Sparks<<, which pits two savvy teen agents against secret societies, rogue politicians, and doomsday devices.

The Hell’s Kitchen PR firm that hired Perilous Faretheewell and Madero ‘Sparks’ Spartakonova was after more than talented propagandists. The Eris Agency needed shrewd recruits for its covert campaigns against The Omega Foundation, a shadowy invisible government of elite industrialists. Trained in martial arts and intelligence operations, the two agents stay cool under pressure in a dangerous cloak and dagger game with perpetually shifting alliance.

In Les Stone Cold Killers, Perilous and Sparks re-trace a rogue CIA agent’s final days in Paris to locate a terrifying weapon that could turn the Cold War into the next Ice Age.


While the recent trend in YA has been to look towards a bleak dystopian future for teens to save, Perilous and Sparks re-imagines the sort of teen revolutionaries who might have already existed in the not-too-distant past. >>Les Stone Cold Killers<< is a light-hearted, fun romp around the world in the company of clever, adventurous heroines, and it’s the perfect book to read beside the pool, at the beach, or on a plane to Paris.

Pick up a copy of >>Les Stone Cold Killers<< on Amazon today.

More adventures are coming. Be on the lookout for the next installment in the series, >>The Kowloon Jukebox<<, which will be released in 2019.

About the Author


















Autumn Ware began writing campy adventure novels when she was a single mother living on a public teacher’s salary. It was the only vacation she could afford. As her characters grew bolder and more daring, they became her imaginary role models, encouraging her to take more calculated risks in her own life.

Today, she’s the owner of Aware Copywriting, a New Orleans-based agency that produces magnetic propaganda for clients around the world, and the novelist behind the Perilous and Sparks series. She lives on a vintage sailboat with her husband, son, two cats, and a dog. Perilous and Sparks empowered her when she was feeling overwhelmed by her own powerlessness. She hopes they’ll do the same for you.  

You can find out more about Autumn and >>Perilous and Sparks<< on her website and Facebook page.

Five Decidedly Unfrugal Things | August 2018

From time to time, I post about five frugal things we're doing to save money and keep our cruising kitty happy. {By the way, that's not the furry kind of cat, but rather what sailors call their savings. So cute.} Those posts are inspired by Katy at The Non-Consumer Advocate who regularly posts about five frugal things she's done. Some things are big, some things are small, but they all help keep her spending down and her savings up. Today, I thought I'd shake things up and share five decidedly unfrugal things I've done lately. Embracing a frugal lifestyle is about making conscious choices regarding where you spend your money. Sometimes those choices involve "splurging" on something. As you read my unfrugal things, keep in mind that what might be a splurge for one person is a normal expenditure for someone else and vice versa. 1 - Coloring Books & Markers Someone gave me an Amazon gift card and rather than spend it on something practical for the boa...

Saturday Spotlight | Sailing Book Reviews

In addition to the usual blog posts every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday about our eccentric travel adventures and day-to-day life living aboard a sailboat, I also occasionally post on Saturdays, focusing on things related to writing such as cover reveals, book launches, reviews, interviews with authors etc. So if you're a bit of a book nerd like I am, check in on Saturdays - you never know what might pop up. * * * Today, I'm featuring three sailing-related books focusing on quitting the rat race for a simpler existence living aboard a boat. Even if a sailing and cruising lifestyle isn't for you, you may find inspiration in these books to make changes in your own life and lead a life less "normal" and more fulfilling. LEAP OF FAITH: QUIT YOUR JOB AND LIVE ON A BOAT by Ed Robinson The author describes himself and his wife as carefree boat bums and beachcombers and in this book he tells you how they went about achieving a simpler life.

Month In Numbers

Clockwise from upper left: (1) The coolest gift ever - a Lt Uhura finger puppet!; (2) Courtesy flags; (3) Paperback proof copies from KDP and Ingram Spark; (4) A gloomy day at the marina; (5) Hurricane season starts early with TS Alberto; and (6) Our friend Ted with some of the cute boat kids at the marina. It's time for the monthly recap in numbers, a collection of odd tidbits that popped into my head as I reflected on the month past. As usual, the month just zipped by. It's hard to believe that 31 days can evaporate so quickly. If I had to pick one word to characterize May, it would be >>rain<< . Lots and lots of rain. And that can only mean one thing. . .lots and lots of leaks. I had towels and bowls placed strategically around our boat. The bilge pump seemed to run constantly. {One of life's unsolved mysteries continues to be the source of the water draining into the bilge.} There were a couple of boating milestones during the month - one set of friends spla...
