Thanks for checking out Girl Out of Water. I had a lot of fun writing it. I don't know that the world demanded a mashup of cryptozoology, physics, identity politics, moody weather, mythology, and angst, but that's the story I felt compelled to tell. Also? mermaids who chain smoke are fun.
I'm an independent author and I appreciate the time you take to read my work.

I ricocheted around the United States for years until I grudgingly came to love the lush mildew and moss of Seattle, Washington, the setting for the Cryptid Coterie universe. When the urge to wander returned, I realized I’d run out of new states to try, so now I live abroad, in Norway of all places.
