RED SEAS collects four tales of folklore at sea--three salty and one sweet. All four stories (plus one poem) can be found in other collections or in magazines. "Awakened": A selchie is trapped in an abusive relationship. How far is too far to go for freedom? "Knee Deep in the Sea": A murderess, a selchie, and men who meet their doom as a result of bad choices. "The Devil's Due": Never cross a devoted sister, especially one fond of sword fights and sea-faring. "Love Struck": A sweeter tale of destiny, a selchie boy, and the possibility of love. "Lessons for Seal-Sisters" (a poem): A selchie mother pondering what she risks by being a mother.
