Love Bytes says hello and welcome to author L.A Witt who is joining us today to talk about her new release “Sink of Swim” the final book in the succesfull Anchor Point series!

Welcome L.A 🙂

It goes without saying that I love all my characters, but I will totally cop to having some favorites. With the series coming to an end, here are my favorite dudes and pairs:

My top 3 favorite Anchor Point characters…

1. Diego from Once Burned – He wasn’t actually supposed to be a main character, but the instant he showed up to pick up Dalton in Going Overboard, I was in love with him. As soon as he gave the base a dirty look in the rearview, I had to write his story. It was shortly after he appeared (and while I was still writing Going Overboard) that I first read an article about veterans being deported, and the pieces fell together. I won’t say his story was fun to write—I like being mean to my characters to a point— but it did make me fall hard for Diego. You better believe he shows up in book 8, and if you love him as much as I do… well, you’ll see.
2. Alhazar from Sink or Swim – I’m sitting here trying to put into words why I love this guy the way I do, and I really can’t. Maybe his devotion? Not only to his faith, but to his kids, to maintaining a close friendship with his ex-wife, to his job, to protecting a coworker who’s being harassed, and—as the book goes on—to Dylan.
3. Clint from Afraid to Fly – No explanation. I just love him.

My top 3 favorite Anchor Point couples…

1. Alhazar & Dylan from Sink or Swim –I miiight have a bit of a soft spot for two single dads in their forties who finally get to fall in love for the first time.
2. Sean & Paul from Just Drive – What can I say? I’m a sucker for May/December too. They’re two guys who are tired of giving things up for the Navy, and finding each other is like finally getting a break from toeing Navy lines. So maybe that’s why I loved them so much—because of the palpable relief whenever they were together.
3. Brent & Will from Rank & File – Told you I was a sucker for May/December. I really loved these two because they were so smitten for each other even when they knew they could kill their careers if they were caught together. They’re both so dedicated to doing the right thing and keeping their careers on the rails, but they can’t resist each other.

Who were your favorite Anchor Point characters and couples?

About Sink or Swim

When need meets fear, can two very different men find common ground?

Alhazar Bukhari spent his Navy career in the closet. Now he’s retired, divorced, and hungry for the love he’s never had a chance to experience. He tries to put his faith in Allah to bring the right man into his life, but it’s hard to be patient after all this time.

Chaplain Dylan Pedersen spends his days counseling Sailors, and his nights with men he doesn’t know. Months after finally escaping an abusive relationship, he’s terrified of anything more than a physical connection. Maybe it’s a sin, but he’s too lonely to not let men into his bed, and too scared to let them into his heart.

When Alhazar’s civilian job brings him aboard the USS Fort Stevens, and his daily prayers bring him into Dylan’s chapel, the chemistry is instantaneous.  Sex and friendship quickly evolve into more, but Dylan’s too haunted by his recent past to be the man Alhazar wants. Alhazar needs love, Dylan needs time, and if they can’t find some sort of balance, they’ll sink before they ever have a chance to swim.

About Anchor Point

Welcome to Anchor Point!

Nestled on the northern coast of Oregon, this small town is home to Naval Air Station Adams. On base, you’ll find freshly minted Sailors who’ve just graduated boot camp, salty officers counting down till retirement, grounded pilots who’ve landed behind desks, and everyone in between—and they’re all looking for love. Well, not all of them, but that won’t stop love from finding them.

So pull up a barstool, grab a beer, and get ready for some sea stories as these men in uniform—or not—navigate the waters of love and life in the military.

Anchor Point stories can be enjoyed in any order. Hop in wherever you’d like!
