You know what you saw, just before drowning in the shallows of the sea. A boy that was once a seal dragged you from the frigid waters and onto land, where your family found you shivering, babbling of magic. Maybe you are crazy, you muse, standing in the exact spot where it happened. All in your head. A hallucination from a near-death experience.

SHORT STORY / 5800 Words Lea knew what the land folk were good for - very little. They stumbled around awkwardly on spindly legs and smelled of sweat and dung. She preferred the open freedom of the ocean. To be able to plunge hundreds of feet into its shadowy depths or to ride in exhilaration along a cascading wave. But today's waves were different. A torrential storm pounded the coastline as she desperately pushed north to reach her sisters. On her hip was an urgent message. And nothing could stop her from reaching her destination. Until she realized a young boy clung desperately to his currach, and a towering wave was about to shatter him into tiny pieces ... * * * Half of all proceeds of the Selkie Tales short stories benefit battered women's shelters. While this first book is non-explicit, due to the strong sexual content and adult situations in future books, this romantic suspense series is recommended for readers aged 17+. The series is structured for readers to read along as I write them to offer feedback and suggestions on the complex storyline. If you're the style of reader who would prefer to wait until the entire series is finished before you tackle it, that is fine! Simply wait until the series is complete and I'll offer the boxed set. I do that with all of my books. The reason I publish as I write is that I don't write full time and it can sometimes take months for me to finish up a storyline. There are readers who don't want to wait - who would rather read along as I go and stay engaged in the process. That way they can provide feedback and suggestions on the storyline. Whichever way works well for you, I provide an option. I'd love to hear from you at my website at OpheliaSikes.com.

Selkies are the seal people of Scottish legend.They can shed their seal skin and become human, or keep it on and remain a seal. Ronan, a selkie himself, is in love with a girl on land, Maggie. But he can't stay with her; he will die. Maggie cannot go into the ocean with him; she will drown. And when Maggie's drunk and destructive "boyfriend" comes into the mix, life becomes about keeping Ronan alive, and keeping Maggie away from the dangers that now plague her. This isn't PG-13 yet! Yay! But I'm warning you, there's some unsavoury language in there.
