It wasn't until I finished reading Madeline Miller's "The Song of Achilles" that the idea for "The Shadows the Ocean Keeps" entered my mind. I was in awe of how Madeline brought to life a story that I'd long known, but yet it felt new. The details she added, the story of Patroclus - it was fresh, imaginative, yet felt accurate to the mythology I'd always enjoyed.

Hello, and thank you for joining me on this journey! My name is Caleb H. Edwards and I’m an author working on the manuscript for my debut novel “The Shadows the Ocean Keeps”, a queer historical fiction work. A United States Navy submarine veteran, I’m excited to bring some incredible stories from history to readers in the present. More content will be posted soon on this blog, my Instagram (@calebwritesdotcom), and my TikTok (@calebwritesdotcom).
