I’m so excited to share the news I’ve been holding close — my debut novel, The Sea Glass Journal: Book 1 of The Sea Glass Trilogy, is coming soon!
Set along the sunlit shores of Southwest Florida, this is a story of love, loss, hidden histories, and second chances. It’s a novel woven with the same sensory details and heart you’ve come to expect from my designs and creative projects — but this time, the stitches are in words.
Why This Story Matters to Me
For years, I’ve dreamed of blending my love for storytelling with my passion for creativity, and The Sea Glass Journal: Book 1 of The Sea Glass Trilogy is the realization of that dream. Inspired by the sun-washed shores of Southwest Florida, this novel is more than just a book — it’s the first step in an immersive creative experience, complete with a companion crochet collection drawn from the story itself. Writing it has been a journey of both artistic expression and personal growth, allowing me to weave together coastal beauty, handmade artistry, and the timeless themes of love, loss, and second chances. My hope is that when you turn its pages, you’ll feel the salt air on your skin, hear the gentle crash of the waves, and perhaps even see a reflection of your own dreams in its story.
About the Story
The Sea Glass Journal: Book 1 of The Sea Glass Trilogy by Kristin Omdahl invites readers to the sun-washed Gulf Coast, where the tide carries more than shells to the shore — it uncovers long-buried truths. As the protagonist navigates love, loss, and the courage to start over, readers will be swept into a world of coastal charm, hidden histories, and the timeless beauty of second chances.
