![]() ![]() ![]() A few months later, I started a total rewrite that took me until May 2010-just a few days before I graduated from college-to finish. How long did it take for you to write Tides and do you have a writing routine?ģ0 days, and four years! I wrote the first draft of Tides for National Novel Writing Month in 2008, but it was horribly discombobulated and rough (of course, being a first draft, a NaNo novel, and my first book ever). But when one of the selkie children is kidnapped, the tremulous bonds between them are tested, and they all must fight to keep the selkies’ secrets from being revealed. He and Lo soon learn of their grandmother’s decades-long romance with a selkie woman-and before long, Noah begins to fall for the selkie’s daughter. It’s the story of a boy named Noah who moves to his grandmother’s island cottage for a summer marine science internship, and brings his sister, Lo, along to help her get away from their parents. Tides is all about selkies and kidnappers, mysteries and science, and the fluid bonds of family and love. Check out my interview with her below and come back on Sunday to read my review! The book came out today you can buy it here. We even had a class together, so I can attest that she is seriously smart. I’ve been excited about this book for awhile, not just because it sounds awesome, but because Betsy lived in the house next door to me at Smith College. This Sunday, I will be reviewing Tides by Betsy Cornwell. ![]()
