SaltWater is a collection of more than a dozen short stories, set
in a sweep of coastal areas around the world, from Sherkin Island
in County Cork to the faraway shores of New Zealand. Taking place
against a backdrop of foam and brine, of shipwrecks and storms, the
stories are often inspired by real events, both contemporary and
historical. Veering between family tragedy, the excitement of teen
love and short, sharp observations of daily life, SaltWater brings
to life the rich tapestry of the human experience. Included in this
collection are several stories that have been shortlisted for or
have won fiction prizes. 'Catching the Tap-Tap to Cayes de Jacmel'
won the Global Short Story Prize, UK. 'Dancing on Canvey' won the
Fish Short Histories Prize, Ireland. 'SaltWater' was shortlisted
for the HG Wells Prize, UK. This collection, SaltWater, was
longlisted for the 2014 Frank O'Connor Short Story prize.
