Thank you for inviting me to your blog today, Debbie. I’m
delighted to be here to share my current release, SOLSTICE ISLAND, a romantic
adventure novella that centers around the quest for an aquatic creature.
Sea beasts seem to come in two popular varieties: serpents
and leviathans. There are exceptions, of course, (colossal squids, gargantuan octopi,
and carnivorous mutant fish), but traditionally sea monsters tend to be
classified as serpents or leviathans. When it came time to create a mythical
oceanic creature for my latest release, SOLSTICE ISLAND, I tried to avoid using
the word serpent as much as possible. I didn’t want the image of a snake-like
creature.
