Trivia / The Girl from the Sea

• Shrug of God: The Girl From The Sea has no explicit or implicit connections to The Witch Boy, but Molly has said it could possibly or might not take place in the same universe.
• What Could Have Been:
  • Originally, Molly's editor suggested she write an autobiographical story, but she ended up writing a fictional one inspired by her childhood instead.
  • One scene that was cut had Morgan showing Keltie music for the first time.
  • In the mini-comic that formed into the graphic novel, the human girl was a chubby strawberry blonde while the selkie was thin with black hair, almost swapping their appearances in the final book.
  • In a prior draft, Earl used a wheelchair while his wife Val pushed; their positions were swapped in the published story.
• Write What You Know: The story takes place on Wilneff Island in Nova Scotia, where Ostertag grew up as a kid.
