Noshing With Sally Ann Hunter, Author, "Transfigured Sea"

This week, Ira spoke with marine biologist Sally Ann Hunter, author of "Transfigured Sea." In this oceanic episode of “Ira’s Everything Bagel,” Sally talks about becoming a marine biologist; why she decided to write a novel; her style of writing, which is “nature writing”; her writing regime; moving from her short story to writing a book; her story of two women who explore the sea and their personal growth; how she balanced writing between the crea-tures and the two characters in the book; how her writing came out of her subconscious; why most of the people in her novel are based on people she knows; how she combined her scientific education with her emotional connection with the sea; why the edge of the sea is the most fascinating place of all; how whale sharks are not dangerous to humans; where magic happens in estuaries; why the ocean seems to be alive; how humans can help protect the ocean; and learning about self-development and growth.
