5 Little Known Facts About Rite Men for Maya

#1 – The entire merman society featured in Rite Men for Maya is based off of the observed behaviors of dolphins. Despite how cute they look in movies and on TV, dolphins are known for being bullies out in the wild. They tend to tease and torment other weaker animals (and other dolphins) for the fun of it. For that reason, I made bullying/teasing a “national pastime”/spectator sport in the merman society I created.

#2 – I wrote Rite Men for Maya back in July 2008 as part of a challenge issued to me by Stephanie Burke (known to most as Flash). She showed me “this” picture and told me to write a story based off of it. While I had every intention of ignoring the challenge, my muse had other plans. I pushed aside (reluctantly) my other writing obligations and finished this novella a little over a month after the challenge was issued.

#3 – As stated in #2, I finished Rite Men for Maya back in 2008. It wasn’t published until 2011. That would be because I sat on it. Once I finished the novella, I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to do with it — by “do with it” I mean to which publisher I should send it. I let it sit on my computer until July 2010 when I submitted it to Changeling Press, its current home.

#4 – Maya originally had a sister, an identical twin sister, that got chopped in the pre-submission editing process. The original draft set up the groundwork for a sequel featuring Maya’s sister. I changed my mind. I decided the story worked better without the sister and removed her completely. I left Maya’s little brother, however.

#5 – Speaking of sequels, Rite Men for Maya has a sequel. I had thought it would be out by now, but other novellas decided they wanted to be written first (I’ll talk about those in later posts). The sequel will shed more light on the merman society and how they view a marriage such as the one Maya has. As it turns out, it’s not at all how she thought it would be.
