It’s available for presale and will publish this month in time for MerMay. What is MerMay? You can click here for a great introduction.

She dreamed all her life about the man in the whitewashed tower beneath the prismed light and decides it’s time to risk a meeting.

He dreams of an impossible love with a mythical creature. What happens when one steps from the sea and offers him not just a dream, but an astonishing solution?

~ Beneath the Prismed Light

From sirens, mermaids, selkies, and more, these tales of the deep will tug at your heartstrings. Love can warm the iciest waters, but revenge is best served cold. Watery graves await for those who push boundaries or stray too far. ~ Song of the Siren
