Poseidia (The Poseidia Series)

In the darkest depths of the ocean, the ancient city of Poseidia has secretly thrived, protected by a sentient dome. Its inhabitants, genetically engineered shape-shifters and protectors of the ocean, teeter on the brink of extinction as the reach of humanity grows. When a pregnant Anna Ryan is murdered at sea, her life doesn’t end—it begins. She awakens in this unknown world in a new body, enhanced with iridescent skin, fins, and the ability to breath underwater. Grieving the loss of her baby and her humanity, Anna vows to make her murderer pay, but it's no easy task to brave the wide ocean alone. Anna finds an ally in Roman, a giant, scarred mystery of a man, and together they forge a bond sharing former human pasts. The easy part is convincing Roman to help her retrieve a cherished locket—an item she believes essential to endure the challenges of a new life—but she carelessly endangers Poseidia. Can Anna set aside everything she’s known and embrace all she’s ever wanted? What is the cost of happiness?

Jennifer (JL Imhoff) is one of those people who, rather than dwelling on the disappointments life inevitably brings, elects to be positive. Born of grit, self-sacrifice, determination, and a bit of the mystical, she chooses to look on the bright side and leave the negative for someone else to fret about. Her writing reflects this conscious positivity and abnormally strong sense of intuition. Life isn't always perfect, but you make the best decision you can in the moment, and then make the best of those choices. She presents the reality of the human (or... not so human) condition in a way readers can completely identify with (hopefully): Confusion about our broader purpose, humor, and underneath it all, a glimmer of hope. Living in the Cincinnati area with her family, Jennifer has a BA in psychology. Outside of professional endeavors, Jennifer loves organic gardening, photography, and caring for their three dogs-one twice-rescued. Landlord and accomplished renovator, Jennifer knows how to wield the business end of a putty knife. (Take that as a promise, or a warning, depending on your preferences.) And finally, in her rare moments of downtime, her and her son enjoy playing Minecraft together.
