Water is the most yielding of all elements, changing to fit its container, whether that be a thimble or a lake bed. At the same time, anyone who has ever watched the unrelenting progression of a tsunami understands its raw power. It is the tranquil azure of a tropical sea, the tumultuous waves and whitecaps of an ocean embroiled, or the insidious progression of overflowing from a riverbed and encroaching on people\u2019s homes. As many faces as water may wear, the creatures within and associated with it have even more.<\/p>\n
For this, the fourth and final anthology in this series, I\u2019m looking for stories about shapeshifting selkies, deceptively beautiful sirens, all the monsters of the deep and any other magical water creature you can imagine\u2014water dragons, naiads, kappa, kelpies\u2026 If it\u2019s a magical being associated with water, I want to read about it.<\/p>\n
