The Tomales Writer's Group, based in Tomales, CA, is so very excited to submit six new original short pieces to Litcrawl on the theme of "Low Tide". We represent writers from Tomales area and Valley Ford area. We participated in LitCrawl last year. Of the six who would like to present this year, one writer is BIPOC. Here is the synopsis for Low Tide.: Tidal forces surround us, yet to most people remain largely invisible. Along the rugged Sonoma coast, up the winding Estero Americano, (which forms the Marin-Sonoma County line), and even along the northern coast of San Francisco Bay, (the largest tidal estuary in the western hemisphere), interested observers can witness the rise and fall of almost seven feet of ocean water twice every day. As these new, original short stories from the Tomales Writer’s Group highlight, through the powerful magnetic pull of the moon, each low tide reveals not only vast amounts of sand, mud, flora and fauna, but also a wide range of human emotions and occasional surprises.
