DARK TIDE
"What would an ocean be without a monster lurking in the dark? It would be like sleep without dreams."
--Werner Herzog
Kela has heard tales of mermaids that supposedly inhabit the waters around her island, but she has never believed them. While diving with her father, she discovers a box, decrepit and forgotten. Hidden inside is a comb unlike any she has seen. On an impulse, she touches it and soon learns the power it holds to grant wishes, but at a price. When what was lost is not returned, fury from the depths threatens to rip away all she has.
My middle grade fantasy, Dark Tide, was written during NaNoWriMo 2013. I was inspired by my West Indian heritage to write a mermaid tale with a dark twist. Visit my Pinterest inspiration board for more images.
KINGDOM OF DUST
Kingdom of Dust is a middle grade fantasy inspired by the kingdoms of medieval West Africa. Written during NaNoWriMo 2015, I am currently working on revisions of the manuscript.
