About Salt
What do you do with a drunken sailor when the world is underwater?
Seventeen-year-old trainwreck Bird Howsley is struggling to stay afloat.
A terrible sailor with a drinking habit to boot, Bird is not exactly thriving in a dystopian water world where most of humanity was wiped out by a pandemic. And now on top of everything, a message from her dead brother has her questioning everything she knew about her past.
Bird needs answers.
But when her search for those answers takes a reckless turn, she puts herself and her best friend Sargo in the crosshairs of a dangerous underground organization that wants them dead.
Forced to flee their hometown, they sail into the Salt—and quickly discover that the organization they’re running from runs deeper than they know…

Hi! I’m Liz. I’m a fully remote freelance writer, and indie author. I’m sailing around the world with my boyfriend and my dog, turning my real-life adventures into YA Sci-Fi and Fantasy books.
My debut fiction series, Thalassic, is based on my own experience sailing from California to Panama. It’s about two friends who are forced to sail across a dangerous ocean in a post-apocalyptic, high-tech dystopia. Along the way, they fight pirates, rescue a dog, run from a shadow government, and (of course) fall in love ❤️
I love incorporating the incredible experiences, beautiful places, and fascinating people I encounter on my travels into my work. Many parts of the world are underrepresented in fiction, particularly speculative fiction, and I feel grateful to be able to explore them, both physically and in writing. In addition to exploring the world, I like to explore themes surrounding mental health, addiction, technology, and climate change in my books.
When I’m not penning YA novels about the impending apocalypse, I work as a freelance content writer specializing in articles about code (I used to be a software engineer), music theory (I also used to be a musician), and off-grid living/digital nomading. On the rare occasion I’m not writing, you can find me swimming, hiking, telling my dog I love her for the bazillionth time today, or watching Taskmaster.
