Hummingbird And Kraken – Reese Morrison

“You are mine.” That was the important part to him. But he knew that Declan had other worries. “You don’t need to go anywhere else. You don’t need a job.” Declan’s eyes sparkled with mischief. “What if it was a job that I could do from here? If we could put a satellite dish on the roof and I could work over the internet? I can pay for the car.

It doesn’t have to be full time. And maybe there’s something you’d like to do, too? Because, um, I like to look pretty and that doesn’t come cheap.” Geir took a minute to let that all sink in. “All of those jobs that you said before, you can do them over the internet? From… the house?” Declan nodded. Now everything made sense. There was one more thing he needed to say, though. “You are pretty all of the time.”

He lifted one tentacle and brushed it over Declan’s eyelid. The blue and silver paint tasted chemically to his skin, but he liked it anyway. He wondered how it stayed on even in the water. “I like it. I will buy you more.” Declan beamed. “I can help contribute financially, though.

I know you don’t have a lot of money. I mean, I don’t have any money right now, and I’m not complaining about the food situation, but I can help with that.” “I have money. We can buy food.” Declan looked skeptical. “How much money are we talking about?” “I don’t know. My sister is a… financial planner? She says I should buy a mansion on the coast. She doesn’t like my lake.” Vigdis was annoying that way. Declan squirmed in his lap, but Geir knew it was just from excitement.

He wasn’t trying to go anywhere. “Oh, you do have money! I can still contribute, but I was worried. And you have a sister! Is she a kraken, too? I like your lake. Let’s not move. But maybe a vacation home by the ocean? Someday?

And can I meet your sister? How often do you see her?” Geir felt laughter shaking through his chest. This was better. This was fine. “She’s a kraken. And I see her when she appears. Maybe every thirty years?” “Wow! How old are you? Can you die? Or are you immortal?

Can you get hurt? I guess I’m going to die before you. That must suck. Unless you can make me immortal, too? That would be amazing. And then you wouldn’t have to be lonely.” Geir blinked.

OceanofPDF.com Author’s Note This book started as a short story called My Kraken for a giveaway. It was fun and cute and light… and I had no idea where it would take me when I expanded it into a novel. My main characters had a lot more to tell me, and I discovered that I like writing action scenes, so there might be more coming! I also got to explore a lot of Native American cultures from Iroquois (Haudenosaunee) and Algonquin nations.

I tried my best to balance history and modernity and consider both tradition and change in writing indigenous characters in current times—with some magic mixed in. I am eternally grateful to my two sensitivity readers for helping me find this balance and adding details from their own experiences, perspectives, and tribal rituals. The two legends that appear in this book are retellings of Seneca legends, originally related in the early 1900s by the Cornplanter (Gaiänt’wakê), chief of the Turtle Clan, with assistance from relatives and elders in his tribe.

(I’m a huge folklore buff.) If you’re curious to read more about Tier, Rohahen, and their tribe after reading this book, look for The Hummingbird’s Gift on Amazon. Happy reading! -Reese OceanofPDF.com Chapter 1 Declan Declan kicked the tire, then stumbled back, clutching his toe through his sequined canvas shoe.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!” This was the last thing he needed right now, the cherry on top of the pile of shit that was his life.
