To celebrate the release of my new book, Coral Were His Bones, I’m going to be posting a month’s worth of things about selkies. Coral is a m/m paranormal erotica novel about Finn, a selkie who’s in love with his childhood sweetheart Devon, but bound in a magical contract to a cruel master. It’s a story of modern magic, snark, sex, and how to heal when everything hurts. 

Click on through to bandcamp to listen to a sample and see the lyrics for First Rising Tide by Alexander James Adams for a different tact, this time the point of view of the selkie in love yearning to leave the ocean. Alternatively, last.fm or the musician’s own site.

When I came across the song, it seemed there was some sort of connection with filk artist Heather Alexander–and Wikipedia solved the mystery for me! His official bio is a bit more whimsical.
