Posted April 30, 2019 in Events / šŸ—Ø0 Comments

I’m excited to announce that the IWSG anthology Masquerade: Oddly Suited has been released today and you can order it here!

This Insecure Writerā€™s Support Group anthology features ten young adult romance stories, one of which is my story ā€œSea of Sorrowsā€! You will find historical, contemporary, paranormal, sci-fi and steampunk in this book…a little bit of everything!

Iā€™m thrilled to be working with Dancing Lemur Press and the nine other authors involved. Everyone has been so friendly and supportive and I canā€™t thank them enough. Itā€™s wonderful to have some new writing friends to chat to and learn from.

About my Story “Sea of Sorrows”

Aesthetic for Sea of Sorrows by Anstice Brown made using pictures from Pixabay and Unsplash, featuring the Scottish coastline and mermaids

What could a shapeshifting siren know about love?


When ocean-dwelling shapeshifter Mairg is mistaken for Erikā€™s missing fiancĆ©e, she reluctantly agrees to help him find his love in order to protect her sisters. Erik gives her hope of a life free from killing, and she soon finds herself falling for him. 
But her search for Aisla dredges up memories that Mairgā€™s guardian, the sea hag, would rather forget. Will Mairg fight against her own kin to save the girl Erik loves? Or will she embrace her monstrous nature and keep him for herself?
