Blue Mermaid Memories
2022
A forbidden art. An extinct cure. A forgotten treasure. Selia Fontaine has cataloged Ancient Egyptian artifacts at the Louvre for as long as she can remember. Working with objects from the past only highlights the fact that she can’t remember her own. Blue memory blindness has plagued her sea nymph memory along with any hope for a cure. She has spent the past decade of her life working in introverted silence—except for the mysterious artifact that has started whispering to her. When a sea sorceress invites Selia to learn about the forgotten art of salt trance, she travels to the Celtic Sea to concoct a cure for her illness. She soon discovers the primary ingredient she needs to create a salt extract has gone extinct. To learn the art of salt trance, Selia must help the sorceress restore a memory forgotten to the Celtic Sea long ago—a time when pirates sailed the high seas in search of mythical treasure. Will Selia discover the truth behind the art that could lead to her cure? What dark secrets will blue memories reveal to her? Will the spirits from her past restore her memory, or will she forget more than the past ten years of her life?

Blue Reflections
2023
A sea nymph blind to her past. A watercolor artist who paints in one color. Should they trust the mysterious blue reflections appearing to each other? Practicing the forbidden art of salt trance is the most excitement Selia has experienced in the past decade of her forgetful, introverted life. Her curiosity about the art’s salty secrets has landed the sea nymph in an ocean of trouble. Crimes against the fae are not easily forgiven by the Order—especially when Amphitrite's Ocean Apothecary is involved. Selia is not the only one curious about the arts. She’s caught the eye of handsome watercolor artist Damien Malloch, whose moonlit paintings capture more than her heart. When the Order steals a magical artifact from the Louvre, Selia begins experimenting with the unpredictable ingredients from Amphitrite's Ocean Apothecary. She quickly discovers that breath, memory, and salt are tied to a fae treasure the Order is trying to destroy. A dark secret from Damien’s past might be Selia's only hope for remembering what blue memory blindness has stolen from her. While navigating through Scotland’s faerie gardens, sleepy seaside pubs, and her growing feelings for Damien, Selia must choose—restore balance to the dying art, or save Damien’s life? Or will the blue reflections reveal a truth that could tear Selia and Damien apart?

With the arrival of the winter solstice, Amphitrite’s window of opportunity opens to work her magic on Damien’s ancestors.
