Beach-Reading Season Is One Week Away!
Selkie stories were the original beach tales, told around campfires as the moon-rise cast a silver path across the waves to guide selkies to shore. According to legend, selkie-folk were humans punished for a grave sin by being transformed into seal and forced to live for eternity at sea. The mournful call of seals from their perches on mist-shrouded rocks send shivers up your spine. The lure of a selkie magic might tempt you to drop a few tears in the ocean and see what magic you can summon.
My selkie story was born from the longing for the ocean that hits me in late spring every year. One spring I went to Chincoteague Island and camped for a week. There between walks on the beach, watching the wild ponies, and kayaking through the wetlands, stories for the Shadowling Therians series took shape.
Book One from the Shadowling Therian series.
Seven tears cast upon the water summon the selkie, summon seal across
the ocean, summon man from beast—liquid keys to break the curse. Freed
one night every seven years, Ronin is doomed to repeat that cycle into
eternity. Unless he can find a woman powerful enough to resist a
selkie’s irresistible pheromones and sex magick.
Maille believes she lost reality between Maine and New Mexico. Between
where she is now and where she should be. She believes in facts, not
magick. But facts can’t explain how she wound up naked on a beach with
the sexiest man she’s ever laid eyes on. Or how she knows in her bones
that losing herself in the passion Ronin offers is a path to disaster.
It’s going to be a long, hot, wet night. Caught between sex magick and a
sexy selkie, disaster is inevitable for Maille. To break the
enchantment she has to rely on the oldest magick of all—the power of
love-drenched hearts.
