The Kopri don’t speak with voices the way humans do. Instead, they communicate through rapid shifts in skin color and texture—a living language written across their bodies. You don’t need to understand it to follow the story in Tide Song, but since so many readers have asked, I’ve put together this quick guide to help you explore the Kopri’s unique way of speaking.

 A companion to Melody of the Deep, this free poetry chapbook invites readers into the heart of the world beyond the tide.

From the battle drums of enslaved rowers to lullabies sung by sea-bound mothers, these poems echo the voices of the Kopri, the cries of the hunted, and the courage of a girl who finds freedom in her voice.

Lyrical, haunting, and full of ocean-borne myth, this collection is a gift for those who believe that even the quietest song can stir the deep.

Writers often speak of a muse that inspires their work. For me, that muse is music—it sets the mood, drives the rhythm, and gives each story its heartbeat. At Heart Tide Press, I find that music shapes the pace, emotion, and timing of the words as they move from imagination to page. I hope you enjoy my Spotify playlists, including the Melody of the Deep, and feel the story stirring in every note.
