Flounder Boy

Giving up his voice out of love for the mermaid Princess (which goes wildly unwell), Kyran reluctantly journeys with the Princess to KILL the Prince who had wronged her. An orphan of shipwreck, Kyran was granted the gift to live between the land and sea. Years of knowing the mermaid princess since the day she found him lost and afraid, lead him to love her (quite unbeknownst to her).

The Prologue is in a very rhythmic FAIRYTALE format. From there, the Chapters will be in a more MODERNIZED format (not quite omniscient, not quite one perspective. But certainly not all perspectives... I hope I chose the porridge bowl, chair, and bed that's juussst riiiiiiight.)

After reading “The Little Mermaid” by Hans Christian Anderson, I was intrigued and disturbed. So a year or so ago, I wrote my own rendition of the wonder tale. Originally, it was a short story critiquing that period's dominant cultural values that depicted virtue in falling in love with the superficial (predominantly regarding wealth, power, elegance and beauty). However, I decided to turn the short into a longer novel, and who knows... perhaps a series.

Also, don't get "the Flounder Boy" confused with "Flounder" from Disney ;) I know. I shouldn't have done that, but... i really like the title. So bear with me!
