I like things that are a little off the beaten path. And I like a lot of things ON the beaten path, for that matter. I usually establish a playlist that speaks to what I'm (or, let's be honest here, what the *characters* are) trying to say, and I'll put that playlist into rotation when I sit down to write. Non-noveling interests: Reading, music, art, drawing maps, fanfiction |

Synopsis: What the Tide Told Me
[The fallout and buildup of two classic fairy tales, a mashup of The Selkie Bride and The Little Mermaid in a modern American town.]
River Morgan lives alone with her eccentric mother and their two dogs in the coastal town of Astoria, Oregon. Her mother Amanda can't (or won't) tell her about her father, and River's tired of waiting for something change.
Lorelei Rusalka wants to do what no one in her family has done for generations: abandon their sheltered life for a bigger, brighter, dangerous love among the humans. Persuading her grandmother to let her leave their ocean home is only the first challenge.
When Lorelei discovers the existence of a selkie child on land, she's torn between her budding relationship with River and her duty to the sea folk; when River learns the truth her mother could never tell her, she's caught between the pull of the land and the water. All rivers eventually run to the sea; what will the tide carry with it when it goes?
