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 creatures 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.
