Let’s face it.

About seventy-five percent of the world is covered in water - and of that water nearly ninety-seven percent of it can be found in the sea. Maritimers will tell you that there is a story for every wave that has ever washed upon the shoreline.

Here are seven of them.

In the Dark and the Deep offers a very haunting yarn of World War 2 convoy duty and a sailor who made and kept a terrible bargain.

Harry’s Mermaid introduces you to a group of homeless men who catch something that MIGHT be a mermaid. If that doesn’t tell you enough about this story just try and imagine what Steinbeck’s CANNERY ROW would read like if it had been written by HP Lovecraft.

I Know Why The Waters of the Sea Taste of Salt is a tale of an Okinawa-based Japanese Air Force suicide pilot and his encounter with a sea monster - of sorts.

Finbar’s Story is a dark fantasy tale of the deeper currents that eddy and flow within the deep quiet currents of a man’s cold heart.

The Woman Who Lost Her Tooth From Laughing Too Loudly At The Sea is a quiet little fable of salt water, tears and regret.

Between You-Know-Who and the Deep Dark Blue is a story of the very last bargain on earth.
