For Immediate Release: Local Author Publishes Debut Novel
Homosassa resident Katherine Eddinger Smits announces the release of her novel, Water Dreams, published by Foundations, LLC June 6, 2016.
Water Dreams features Tarpon Springs, Florida, the author’s home town. Set in this Greek-American community, the book introduces Nik, a young woman of Greek heritage who has a water phobia. She meets handsome but arrogant Bas, who claims he belongs to a race of shape-shifting mermen and mermaids who call themselves Nerei. Worse, he claims Nik shares DNA with the Nerei, who need her help.
Nik battles tricky mermaids, her water phobia, recurrent nightmares, kidnappers and drug runners in this tale that reimagines the mermaid myth as a contemporary, paranormal romance with elements of suspense.
The book is available through the Foundations website, Amazon and other on-line retail outlets in digital, paperback and hardcover formats.
