I love writing underwater scenes. Way back when I did a lot of spearfishing in the Bahamas, which involved free diving and not scuba. Scuba came up yesterday in the comments. It’s not a factor in Mrs. Plansky Goes Rogue (coming July 15, pre-orderable) but free diving most certainly is.

Mrs. Plansky had been something of risk taker in her younger days—knew how to ride a motorcycle, for example, had done some free-diving spearfishing on a spring vacation in the Grenadines with a college sort-of boyfriend where it turned out she was the superior free diver, dooming the relationship, as she’d figured out later, her misery over the break-up ending at the very moment—but these were not her younger days. Sometimes she had to remind herself of that fact!
