Blog Lucky #13:
Writing on my birthday this day, no not 39, 40!... about Seattle's No.1 rated TV station - King 5 TV - and fictional home to Jia-li Han, the intrepid anchor/reporter who is saved from certain death by the colossal 100-ton killer whales in "Rogues" and breaks the story. My request for a tour and permission to use the call letters went right to the top, but was eventually approved (thanks to Betsy Robertson and Denise Guerrero). Roving reporter Gary Chittim also agreed to provide expert "whale" advice, he's reported extensively on orcas and has done a documentary on these remarkable creatures. Nice to be able to add the authentic touch to the novel since a few different scenes take place within the King 5 walls. The book is coming along nicely with one more month left on my stay here in Port Townsend (time does indeed fly!). Once a solid first draft is done it goes to my agent's editor... then changes... and, fingers crossed, a publishing deal. But lots of work yet ahead to reach that point...
