I liked her short story in this series from the ‘Shifter’ anthology, so I’ll be picking this up as soon as Penguin gets the other ebook formats (besides Mobi, Sony & Kindle) out and for sale. I wish they’d get them all out on release day like they’ve been saying they’re going to do.

Hi Jane,
I picked up Sea Witch on Tuesday and it is teed up for my 4th of July weekend read! I am so excited. With Virginia, it is all about the writing, especially with this new series, the word atmospheric comes to mind. Friends, you might also want to try her novella in Shifter which also features stories by Alyssa Day, etc.
Enjoy,
Stephanie

Well. Wow. Thanks! Thank you all so much.

Julie and Jules nailed the selkie thing–I love the Orkenyjar site–but if you want to read more, I blogged about the selkie legend on MySpace: Countdown to Sea Witch, days 13 and 14.

I’ve missed Kantra’s males. Can’t wait to pick this one up.

Scottish, Irish, and Northern England. Also spelt silkie and selchie, depending on dialect. There’s a good page about them at Orkneyjar:

A selkie is a seal shapeshifter. Their seal skin can be stolen from them and that makes them human. Once the skin is found, they’re supposed to return to the sea. It’s an Irish legend, I think?
