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.

I also love that it was about two women--but the love was the center of the story rather than the fact that it was two women.
While this is going to probably be a spoiler thing--when Oberon "leaves the sea" to Annie, does it indicate that she's actually in charge of the undersea in some sort of large-scale way? Or was that just a strongly suggested option for her from Oberon?
