We’re in the home stretch of our pre-order campaign for The Salt in the Sea by J. D. Rivers! We’ve hit our base goal (the absolute minimum we need to get this project off the ground) and we’re almost 2/3rds of the way to raising enough to cover all the associated publishing expenses! Pre-orders will close at midnight, April 14th, in the last time zone in the world – which is to say, 8 a.m. Eastern time on the morning of the 15th! We’d love your help spreading the word for this last push.

What’s The Salt in the Sea about? Well…

A downtrodden ex-soldier.

After leaving the military, werewolf Victor is shunned in his civilian life. Money is tight, so when an ex-comrade offers him an easy job—getting a package from an island—he jumps at the chance.

A lost inn-owner.

When Selkie Thoma opens the door to a knocking patron, he wants to close it again immediately. Standing before him is Victor, his one-night stand from three years ago. The last thing Thoma wants is to have to explain why he left that night.

As Victor and Thoma cross paths unexpectedly, emotions flare anew. But Victor is only on the island for a week, and Thoma can’t face his past, the consequences of his decisions, or the resulting condemnation from his sea-going selkie family.

A dead body in a post office.

When a corpse is discovered, fingers throughout the community point at Victor. With time running out before justice is served, it’s on Thoma to find out the truth. Because on the island justice is deadly.
