"Sweetlings": My New Novelette up at Tor.com
"The night before my mother walked into the New Sea carrying my six-week-old brother, I heard her and Papi arguing. Even with the wind screaming past our tiny squatter's house on the cliff, the rage in her voice slashed through the thin wall."
So begins "Sweetlings", my new science fiction/horror novelette now available to read for free on Tor.com.
Imagine a time when rivers and oceans rise so fast, they wipe out entire cities and towns. Mir wasn't yet born then, but Papi lived through the catastrophic flooding that wiped out much of the east coast of the United States. Now Papi, a former science teacher, studies the new forms of sea life and concludes that "...the Great Inundation was just the beginning."
Mir's friend Jersey wants to go inland, but she wants to stay with her father, even if it means dealing with terrible diseases like Blister Rot and Permian-era arthropods that have suddenly come back to life.
To find out what fate awaits Mir, Jersey, and Papi and what surprises this New Sea has in store for them, go to: goo.gl/XHXD8o
