sweet okay!

my beautiful fiancee is a writer, bravely wading into the world of self-publishing (if anyone is curious about the thought process behind this or the business of self-publishing, hmu and i'll see if she'll talk to u). earlier this year, she published two short stories on amazon. in the bedroom is a sci-fi short about body-snatching, featuring a married gay male couple and their sweet daughter. stay is a fantasy short. an elderly herb witch is visited by her girlhood friend/old flame who is kind of not a good person, and then bad things happen. it has a bittersweet ending and yes the old flame does die.

and YESTERDAY she did a soft release of her novel, eelgrass. it's ya/na fantasy novel with selkies and mermaids and LESBIANS. but mainly it's a feminist examination of the selkie myth, plus a comparison to mermaid myths. here is the official description, which is more markety:

In Irish folklore, a selkie is a seal who can take off her sealskin like a coat and become a woman, seducing fishermen anywhere she goes. If he steals her sealskin, she is bound to his home, marrying him and mothering his children - unless she can find it and escape, leaving her family on shore forever.

In Eelgrass, a lesbian reimagining of tales about women and the sea, Efa is having too much fun to worry about stories. Too young to have earned respect in her village, she spends her days roving with her beautiful and vivacious best friend, Bettan -- until the night Bettan disappears into a rainstorm, and Efa can't shake the certainty that she's been taken.

Desperate to rescue her friend, Efa seeks out the fishwives, half-human fish who dwell under the tides and kill sailors with their sharp teeth and alluring songs. She doesn't expect to find Ninka, an outrageous young woman who makes her feel giddy and who might be the key to unlocking her own courage.

you can buy it a bunch of different places, but here are the amazon links (which have yet to pair up, as it's been less than 24 hours). kindle ebook. paperback. a hardcover will be coming out later this year.   if you want to find it somewhere else and you can't, message me.

she also has a writerly website/blog here, although it's a little out of date, because she's been very busy with her day job! you can sign up for her newsletter there, though.
