Natasha Bowen is the author of a fascinating book, Skin of the Sea, about a mermaid named Simi.  The story is set in the 1400s as the slave trade is beginning on the west coast of Africa.  There is a mermaid in the story the author does not name as a mermaid, but you get the idea as the story moves along.  Her book has been on the New York Times best-seller list and she has another book, Soul of the Deep, a sequel to Skin of the Sea.

Natasha Bowen is coming to Fishers as part of the Books Build Bridges program sponsored by the Hamilton East Library.  She will appear with two other authors Saturday, September 30, 2024, 2:30-4:30pm at the Forum Conference Center in Fishers.

I thank the Hamilton East Library for arranging a podcast interview with Natasha Bowen.  I think you will enjoy my first transatlantic podcast.
