Exploring Underwater Worlds: Inspiration Behind Swim
The genesis of Swim: Shark of a Different Fin lies in a deeply personal experience: a family member’s catastrophic car accident that led to severe paralysis. Watching their resilience in overcoming immense obstacles inspired the heart of this story—a reflection of what it means to survive, adapt, and rise.
Though Swim centers on the journey of a great white shark, the broader inspiration came from a lifetime of marveling at the mysteries of the ocean. As a child, I was captivated by documentaries, coral ecosystems, and tales of sea creatures. These fueled the creation of Sea Town—a vibrant undersea world where difference is power, not a weakness.
Marty’s world blends real-world marine wonder with metaphoric storytelling. From glowing reefs to kelp forests and the bustling Sea Town Academy, the setting invites readers to explore the depths of both ocean and spirit. The story suggests that just as marine creatures adapt and thrive, so too can we.
And behind the pulse of this tale is a soundtrack rooted in emotional truth. To discover the music that helped shape Marty’s story, visit Poodlehead.com.
