Songs of the Deep: Poseidon's Voice

 

Catherine Stovall

Poseidon's Voice

 

A mermaid who is still healing from her tragic human death, a prince running from responsibility, a ship's captain who has gone mad, and a monster in the deep. When the war between mermaids and men spills from sea to land, no one is safe. But if they die, they die together.

While Nadia and Dante are the main characters of the book, it is truly Captain Manford (Dead Eye) Roberts who captures my own imagination. I feel as if his story would be interesting to tell.

 

What drew you to be part of this anthology?

 

I was excited to write about mermaids for the first time and the opportunity to work with some really amazing authors. Some for the first time and others who I have written with before.

 

Are mermaids/sirens real? What do you think about those things we know to be true but don't  necessarily see?

 

I believe nothing is impossible. Mermaids might just exist. We can't possible guess what is hidden beneath the waters.

 

Anything else you would like to add?

 

I always like to thank the readers. Without the people who buy and read the books, I am nothing. It is their minds and hearts that breathe life into the characters again and again to truly give them immortality.

This is a dark tale about a merman, who is trying to come to terms with letting go of his humanity, and the human woman who unwittingly helps him let go.

 

What drew you to be part of this anthology?

 

I liked that it wasn't your typical happily ever after, that these were *potentially* dark characters who were revenge driven.

 

Are mermaids/sirens real? What do you think about those things we know to be true but don't  necessarily see?

 

The logical part of me says no, but there's definitely that part of me that WANTS them to be real--along with all the other things that go bump in the night. I suppose they could be, the depths of the oceans are still vastly undiscovered and if they're highly intelligent then it would be easy for them to hide.

Songs of the Deep: Ivory Cove

Jori Elizabeth

Ivory Cove

 

Hawker's frustrated with where life has taken him. He decides a stay at the family's summer camp on Ivory Cove is the perfect getaway. Ivory Cove was once terrorized by a mermaid, and now Hawker's discovering there is more to the story - and she's back for revenge. 

 

Share something special about the characters in your story:

 

Hawker's ancestors were well aware of the mermaid who terrorized Ivory Cove in the past. What other secrets does his family hide?

 

What drew you to be part of this anthology?

 

Mermaid lore fascinates me. Everyone thinks mermaids are so sweet. The lore tells another story.

 

Are mermaids/sirens real? What do you think about those things we know to be true but don't necessarily see?

 

Yes! I don't think they look exactly as depicted in stories and art, but there is something hiding in the deep.

Murder awaits when you dive in.

A Confession: Daisy Jones & The Six

I have a confession: I did not read the book. 

 

Crazy to think about, right? My 16-year-old and I are both avid readers in romance, but we tend to snap up different genres. She’s more of a NA reader, and I like paranormal, contemporary and historical. In fact, there’s even a fear of – gasp – actually, reading the SAME novel. (Really, that’s more on her part than mine.)

 

Anyway, maybe that’s a reason why while she gushed over Daisy Jones & The Six, I stayed away. It was a countdown to watch the Amazon Prime series, and when it popped up a day early (late Thursday night), she binged it all. Then she did something she normally wouldn’t, she came into the living room and played the first episode for me.

 

Then on Friday night, after getting home from her friend’s house, we watched the next two.  Hooked. What can I say? It’s a riveting ensemble cast that blends music, #womenpower and a 70s historical background. 

 

Pop culture enthusiast Joe posted this compilation on Twitter:

All these women push to be noticed in different ways. For Daisy, I love the kick-ass attitude of not wanting to be the muse for anyone else (more specifically a man).

 

"I had absolutely no interest in being somebody else's muse. I am not a muse. I am the somebody. End of fucking story."

 

Camilla possesses a more subdued strength. When she asked Billy. “Do you think I moved here for you? I moved here with you.”

 

Snap.

 

Maybe now I’ll read the book – but not until after we finish the series. I’m still a little bit worried about having my heart ripped out. 

 

Honestly, confession #2: I've never been a fan of '70s clothes. Yesterday after watching Daisy Jones & The Six, I perused eBay for an inspired outfit for our upcoming Taylor Swift concert in Phoenix. Stay tuned for how the shopping goes!

 

The first three episodes of the miniseries Daisy Jones & The Six have dropped on Amazon Prime, with new shows being released on Fridays.
