There is no such thing as safe.
For Commander Cassidy Hart, staying alive is only one of her day-to-day problems. As a newly minted Senator of the State of California, she must travel to Monterey Bay with the hope of bringing an agreement between the militia forces and the Pacific Northwest Alliance as the United States desperately battles against the shadow invasion forces of Omega.
But Monterey is not what it seems. The threat of another Omega attack looms on the horizon, and Commander Chris Young – the love of Cassidy’s life – is not the only important person in Cassidy’s life who is keeping secrets. Assassinations, betrayal and startling revelations lie ahead.
The war is now. Fight or die.
Choose your side.
The fifth installment in the international bestselling Collapse Series, a YA/NA post-apocalyptic romantic adventure.
The
Writing Process of The Collapse Series
By
Summer Lane
I’m
frequently asked what it’s like to write a series. The truth is,
it’s hard to sum up the experience in just a couple of sentences,
because creating a series is very hard work! I released the first
installment in The Collapse Series, State of Emergency, in
January 2013. It’s been two years. I have since released six books,
and by the end of this year, I will have at least ten total published
works. Writing, editing, publishing and selling an average of 3-4
books per year is a massive undertaking, one that must be carefully
scheduled out. My year is divided into an average of three sections:
January-March, March-June and June-October. This is the most
challenging part of the year. November-December is spent purely
writing without editing or marketing, so in a way, those two months
are like a vacation to me – ALMOST!
With
my year sectioned out like this, the moths pass very quickly.
It usually takes me a full month to write a novel, and at least three
weeks to write a novella. The rest of the time is devoted to editing
and research. Before I know it, the entire year is already over! I do
not write by the seat of my pants. Everything I do is planned and
thought out long before the pen ever meets paper – or in my case,
before my fingers hit the keyboard. My series are all interconnected,
so planning and plotting is an absolute must. I love what I do. I
wouldn’t trade it for anything. I’m so excited to share State
of Alliance with the world!
