Finishing up with Cooper marks the completion of PATHOGENS. Or the first draft, anyway. It’s by far my longest book, both in terms of word count and choices. Six whole characters to choose from! Cooper eventually becomes the leader of the merry band of survivors in the city, which is how you meet her in INFECTED. But it didn’t start off that way. You get to step in her shoes and go from ordinary grease monkey to the draconian leader of a group of survivors in PATHOGENS.
Up next? Editing! However, I’m thinking of reaching out for the first time to beta testers for the various characters. If you’re interested, make sure you sign up for my mailing list.
Thanks for reading! Excited? Confused? Bemused?

How I have waited to hear of the segue from writing to editing of this book… I am so excited.
Also, I laughed at the image you described of Cooper rolling her eyes. I can see her nostrils flaring at the site those image search results.
If that has you excited, just wait until you read today’s post!
And yeah, definitely nostrils flaring. See? This is why I need beta-readers 🙂
