Now that I've had 24 hours for the news to sink in, I must say what a complete honor it is to have my book stocked at the legendary literary institute that has roots as deep as Fitzgerald and Hemingway, and has housed the warm bodies of Anais Nin, Henry Miller and Allan Ginsberg.

“I brought you here to tell you this: sometimes what we are searching for does not exist. We may sacrifice for it, even bleed for it, but it was never meant to be ours.”
Esther Dalseno, Drown

“However, she was not a rational woman, and she did not reconsider.”
Esther Dalseno, Drown: A Twisted Take on the Classic Fairy Tale

“Everybody made faces around here. Human beings, she discovered, could not maintain the stony, frozen expressions of the merfolk, not for an instant. There was not a moment where their faces remained blank. There was always a light in their eye, and the light, like red wind, would flare into a raging fire without notice.”
Esther Dalseno, Drown

“It seemed only right that beauty was the key to the industry, and the sacrificing of beauty to buy possessions seemed only fair to her evolving mind.”
