Avow News

I am very excited to announce that the prequel to Adrift, Avow, will be free now and forever on Amazon. I'd love to see everyone jump in and enjoy this little piece of the Last Selkie series.

A Last Selkie Short Story.

A tragic life cut short.

What could be crueler than facing death alone?

Twenty years before Adrift, a young man named Ethan Tanner found out he had a inoperable malignant brain tumor and had less than a year to live.

Impossibly, help comes in a mythical form.

Also-- if you haven't checked them out, there have been some great New Releases this week. Check out Rose Pressey's How to Date a Demon and H P Mallory's Something Witchy This Way Comes . 

Adrift: Another Wonderful ***** Review

5.0 out of 5 stars Textured...., September 10, 2012 By  Peg Lewis "Grammy Peg" (Anacortes WA USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Adrift (The Last Selkie Book One) (Kindle Edition) This book is fun to read and engaging. But what really stood out to me was how textured it is. And how balanced. First, about the balance: you have setting, from landlocked Oklahoma and a certain two dimensional barrenness to three-dimensional Newfoundland, or maybe it's four-dimensional. You have dry and wet. You have flat and wavy, choppy and still, trees and caves, air and water, busy and unmoving. And then you have inside and out, comfort and danger. One of the main characters traverses the two worlds with and at ease, the other is never easy. You have alive and dead, the gardens and the inevitable sea, the bright and the dark. Second, about the texture: wet and dry, yes; but also the texture of hair, yarn, rocks, wood, seaweed, oilskin and sealskin. The texture of smells, of what the hands are doing, of sleep and wakefulness and back again. Of edgy loyalty and smooth enticement. And all of it with an undercurrent of danger, of no simple answers, of the easy way never being the chosen way, of conflict between need for comfort and accepting comfort. And of loss, always of loss. This book is fundamentally about loss and the toss-up between surviving loss and losing the will to survive. While you're having your good read, you will be walking dangerously close to another world. Is it real? I wonder when I'll find out.

What is Adrift?

Meg Tanner is afraid of water because her mother drowned in the ocean. Ever since then her father has warned her to stay away from the sea.

Upon her father's death Meg is set adrift in the world with no belongings and no place to go. Her only option is to hop into her beat-up old car and go wherever the road takes her.

All alone and blinded by grief she emerges in Trinity, Newfoundland, where she is approached by Devon Horan. Devon is fascinating man who immediately threatens everything she assumed about her life.

Soon Meg has nothing left but haunting questions:

What are selkies? What do they have to do with her dead mother?

And why does Devon despise Meg?
