The Sea Lady
‘The Sea Lady’ is ‘The Little Mermaid’ for grownups. Set in Folkestone, the story focuses on a mermaid who comes ashore, with the intent of seducing Harry Chatteris. Living under the name of Doris Thalassia Waters, the mermaid makes it her mission to disrupt his engagement and take Chatteris for herself. Can he withstand her charms, or will he abandon his betrothed? An exploration of the human condition and the desire to fetter our wilder natures, ‘The Sea Lady’ perfectly captures the conventions and attitudes of the time. Herbert George Wells (1866 – 1946) was an English writer, historian, sociologist, and journalist. His interests in technology and time travel (a term he is thought to have coined), have seen him hailed as one of the pioneers of the science-fiction genre. During his career, Wells wrote over 50 novels, alongside more than 60 short stories and numerous historical and scientific papers. Many of his most famous works have been adapted for film and television, such as ‘War of the Worlds,’ starring Tom Cruise, ‘The Island of Dr Moreau,’ starring Val Kilmer, and ‘The Invisible Man,’ starring ‘Elizabeth Moss.’
Palaeofauna
A body is found underneath the Severn Bridge. Is this another suicide or is there something else going on here? What connections, if any, are there with this death and an unusual rescue mission in Bristol in November 1940? Detective Chief Inspector Mark Morgan is called in to explain things, but it’s proving complicated with evidence found suggesting that the body on the towpath beneath the Severn Bridge has been moved. In such a geologically remarkable place, could the location of the body have anything to do with this death? Was it accidental or not? The more Mark Morgan delves into this mystery, the more unanswered questions he is left with and that’s just on the work front. At home, Selina is causing problems for the Morgan family, but isn’t that to be expected with someone nearly thirteen, or should people be worried? Her father, Joe, is still in Russia and doesn’t seem in any hurry to return until events at home force a change of plan.
