What if mermaids were kept at SeaWorld? SPEAK THE OCEAN is new novel by Rebecca Enzor, billed as Blackfish meets The Little Mermaid, in which a trainer at the world's first mermaid theme park has to risk his life to let the world know that the park's ill-treated mermaids are just as human as we are. Laura von Holt interviews Rebecca Enzor on where science meets fiction, what makes a mermaid like a human, and what might happen if we discovered mermaids in this modern era.

Rebecca Enzor is a  nuclear chemist who lives in Charleston, South Carolina. SPEAK THE OCEAN is her debut novel.
