geekyA brand-new story about the Luidaeg, "In Sea-Salt Tears," has been posted on the equally brand-new Toby Daye short fiction page. It is available in ePub, MOBI, and PDF formats, and is free for download. (So far, this is the only free Toby-universe short story. We'll be adding listings for the published-in-books shorts in a little while, but it's not hyper-high priority.)
This story is best read after One Salt Sea, and it further details the relationship between the Luidaeg and Elizabeth Ryan, the Selkie clan leader we met at the very end of the book. Please download rather than trying to read locally; my server will thank you.
Cover graphics are by Tara O'Shea. All short story electronic conversion thus far has been done by
scifantasy. As both of them are awesome, we applaud them now.Go forth, read, and please feel free to use this as a discussion post, which means there may be spoilers in the comments. Tread carefully.
Enjoy.

The story. Wow. The story. It was, as others have said, heartbreaking and beautiful. I tend to associate stories with music, and the first thing that came to mind was Darren Hayes' 'Taken By the Sea' (video is a bit iffy but audio is pretty good for a live performance). (The second was Talis Kimberley's 'One Big Sea'.)
I want an e-reader now so I can put this on it and take it places with me and make people read it.
