Ripple is the story of how love inspired one dolphin to an intellectual achievement that changed the universe.

The Haunted Dolphin closing in on publication

Those of you who enjoyed my first novel Ripple, may be interested to know that my second, The Haunted Dolphin of Ipipiri is closing in on publication. I have finished writing the third draft and am now almost finished editing it. The first half of the manuscript has been sent away for a professional edit and once my own edit of the second half is done, it will be sent away too.
It's been a long and much-interrupted journey, But I'm starting to feel the time's coming when the story will fly out into the big wide world.
The story tells how love inspired one haunted dolphin to overcome the handicap of hatred in her quest to communicate with humankind.

Dolphin Melody Published!

Dolphin Melody by Tui Allen I have finally just published Melody, my second novel.

In the vast depths of the oceans, Hinemoana, Māori Goddess of the sea, watches over all marine life, narrating the poignant tale of Melody, a dolphin born in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand. Melody's life, marked by tragedy and music, turns dark after the loss of her mother and her baby to human hands.
Haunted by a freezing spectre of hatred, she struggles to find peace and a voice to communicate with mankind.
Onshore, the artist Manaia faces her own battles, mirroring Melody’s pain and loss. As Melody seeks solace through astral journeys and divine promises, her path intertwines with Manaia’s, leading to an extraordinary alliance with Manaia’s husband, Rōreka.
Through acts of sacrifice, love, and interspecies communication, Melody finds hope and healing. A journey of sorrow, redemption, and the powerful bond between humans and dolphins unfolds, revealing the potential for unity and understanding between worlds.
