Synopsis

Sea of Glass is a pearl of a tale - as timeless as it is refined. At once innocent and unblinking. Tender as a prayer, a bruise. Tricia D. Wagner's storytelling ebbs with the warmth of candlelight, the easing of wounds.
Mark Nieson, author of Schoolhouse: Lessons on Love and Landscape

This is exactly the kind of story the world needs right now! A story that digs deep into the universal truths of humanity: fear, grief, despair, but also faith, love, and hope. This story dances with lyric language and echoes of myth and fairytale, yet always feels powerfully personal and relevant. Wagner certainly understands how to capture the beauty that can be salvaged from the wreckage of pain.
Heather Luby, Fiction Editor of Midwest Review

Sea of Glass draws you in purely by virtue of its wonderfully evocative setting, but it lingers because of its child protagonist, Teo, an enchanting mixture of defiant and innocent.
Tim Storm, award-winning writer, teacher, and editor, with work in a number of journals including Copper Nickel, Black Warrior Review, and Lit Hub.

Twelve-year-old Teo spends his days helping his troubled papá hang windows on shanties along Baja’s wild coast. When an old angler presses Teo to seek a goddess—the Sea Angel—for rescue, Teo sets out to test whether help can be found at the hands of the gods. To learn the truth, he must look beyond legends and summon the courage to challenge his papá. And to reach freedom, he must tap his own strength, hidden beneath wounds laid by glass.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

As a young reader, writers were like gods and goddesses to now author Tricia D. Wagner. She never could have imagined weaving tales like her favorite storytellers, until a fateful April dinner conversation with her husband about a lecture he attended got her mind whirling. By the end of that summer, she'd written 400,000 words: a speculative fiction trilogy. Wagner felt as if she'd emerged from a chrysalis as some new sort of creature. She was hooked.It was important to Tricia to sharpen her skills, and she immersed herself in workshops, guides, and writing communities, learning from editors how to hone her craft. She did this for years, and the result is her a growing collection of published novels, novelettes, and poetry collections. She found writing to be a method for becoming the person she felt she was born to be. In writing her stories, Wagner was surprised and delighted to discover how real the characters become to an author; that for many writers, their characters end up as their most treasured friends. She loves to delve into them to mine their natures, secrets, and desires-to tell their stories with the legitimacy they deserve. In studying her characters, she finds she has the opportunity to shape herself, inching closer to the person she wants to become.Wagner hopes her readers feel enchanted when they read her stories. This is exactly how she feels when she finishes writing a story. She hopes that her writing might expand their minds, spirits, and worlds, and she hopes they fall in love with her characters and are moved by her artistry of language. When she isn't writing poignant works of literary fiction, Wagner works as a Director in Higher Education. In her spare time she enjoys refining her writing craft to discover new angles and landscapes that might enrich her writing palette. One such example is a recent course she took in learning to read ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, something that's sure to end up in a story at some point. Wagner lives in Rockford, Illinois, with her husband and darling cats.
