When a corpse with webbed feet and other aquatic adaptations washes ashore during a hurricane, the county medical examiner calls in marine biologist Will Myers for assistance. The deceased’s mysterious sister, Andreia, claims the body and asks Will to help figure out how her brother died. Will and Andreia bond over shared tragedies and a yearning to heal a dying ocean as they seek to learn how her brother spent his final days.

Andreia brings Will to her undersea home, part of a hidden civilization inhabited by smugglers, hackers, treasure hunters, and traders—all members of a different species, driven to the edge of extinction by human diseases and climate change. As feelings between the two grow, the investigation into her brother’s death leads to a sinister plot by a fanatical cabal. Together, Will and Andreia must find a way to save both humanity and the ocean without imperiling the existence of her species.

Interview

What is the hardest part of writing your books?

Writing as a profession, even if part-time, requires commitment. I sit down nearly every morning to write or edit. Getting started is the hardest part; after that, things begin to flow.

What are your most played songs?

I create a playlist for each book and each point-of-view character, which helps me get into their head. The songs vary a lot, depending on the character and scene.

Do you have critique partners or beta readers?

I am in two writing groups. We critique each other’s submissions every two weeks. I also solicit feedback for the whole book once the second draft is done (I self-edit the first draft).

What book are you reading now?

Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson.

How did you start your writing career?

I’ve been writing since childhood and learned filmmaking in college (along with writing screenplays). I started writing novels when trapped in the house during the “Snowmageddon” of 2010.

Tell us about your next release.

I am revising two previously unreleased books and have a sequel to The Others planned, but am not sure which one will be completed first. Stay tuned at https://www.tcweber.com/ !
