A mother's legacy, a daughter's destiny.
I am a creature of the deep, a mermaid, trapped on land because my daughter has yet to have her salt-birth and claim her siren heritage. The only mermaid to have known all five stages of grief. I am a single mother, without a job, who needs to support my human child. And ignore the ever-increasing call of the ocean's Salt.
Surfacing is novel length and tells the story of the final phase of Mira's return to Saltford, as she strives to navigate human society, and finds a career for which she is uniquely qualified. But, not only is she a woman in a man's world, she is a siren who creates reactions in human males just by being who—what—she is. Can she overcome prejudice, other supernaturals, and the Salt to finance her daughter's upbringing?
If you have read Born of Water, you know the answer; here is how it happened. If you are reading in chronological order, be sure to continue the story in Born of Water, the start of Mira's daughter, Targa's, story—and a fresh take on mermaid mythology.
