To Kiss the Sea Update!

The final section of TKTS has been sent to my amazing editor @bookconcierge ! I almost can't believe we're at this point already!

This poem was part of the inspiration material I put together during the outlining phase for this book.

Have you ever used poems or song lyrics to set the mood for your story?

...

As if the Sea should part
And show a further Sea—
And that—a further—and the Three
But a presumption be—

Of Periods of Seas—
Unvisited of Shores—
Themselves the Verge of Seas to be—
Eternity—is Those—
 ~ As if the Sea should part by Emily Dickinson

[Image: An underwater shot, looking upwards where sunlight shines on the surface. A mermaid swims by with long, flowing fins that start at her shoulders like a cape and fan out along her tail. Her scales are dark blue, tiger stripes in red and green go all the way up to her back. The skin of her human torso is a rich, dark brown and her head is smooth. The words of the Emily Dickinson poem above are written in the space beneath her.]
