What are people saying about SON OF THE DEEP?
“There’s a profound alchemy lurking in Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid—one that Hoyle’s Son of the Deep goes a long way toward recovering—and a quiet yearning here that will stay with you long after you’ve put the book down.” —Luke T. Harrington, Author of Ophelia, Alive (A Ghost Story)
“A brave young girl suddenly thrust into leadership, a cynical and jealous best friend, a compassionate merman with an angel's voice ... you've never encountered a ‘Little Mermaid’ like this before. K.B. Hoyle has given us a heartfelt fairy-tale retelling whose characters will charm and delight you.” —Gina Dalfonzo, Author of Dorothy and Jack: The Transforming Friendship of Dorothy L. Sayers and C.S. Lewis
"If you want adventure, stunning characters, romance, magic, beauty, then this is a perfect book!" —@getlostinthepages (Instagram Review)
"My weekend was utterly consumed with either reading this or wondering when I would be able to keep reading it when life got in the way. I really don't have the words to express what a beautiful book this is!" —@nocomplimentstoyourmother (Instagram Review)
"I am in love with this retelling of the classic fairytale! K.B. Hoyle doesn't disappoint." —@megsbookquery (Instagram Review)

Signed Books Are Once Again Available!
(September 2021) After a long hiatus due to a cross-country move, I am happy to once again offer signed books as an ordering option. A few notes: COVID shipping delays are a real problem, and they seem to be here to stay, so keep that in mind when placing an order (especially around the holidays). Also, for signed orders, I had to raise the price of my books a small amount to cover new fees and some increased costs on my end. The prices on Amazon remain the same!
