Leapfrog Press, 2021

• Who should buy this book: Anyone who: is enthralled with the sea (and with the Maine coast in particular), Is interested in the bizarre and unsettling work life of ex-patriots abroad, has felt rootless and longs for home, has a kinship with amphibians, has felt out-of-sorts in her evolving female form. • "Unofficial" author bio: Lara Tupper, from Maine, is a strong swimmer. She has worked as a clambake waitress, a cruise ship singer and dancer, an academic, a yogi, a back-up singer, an editor and a music booker. She has had the good fortune to live in New York City, London, Abu Dhabi, Shanghai, Dubai, Otaru, Hua Hin, the Berkshires and Boothbay. She feels most at home near the sea. These experiences infuse the stories in Amphibians. The perspective of a lounge singer on ships and in hotels overseas may not be new to readers. • As evidence of xenophobia dominates our daily headlines, these stories point to the very base and universal human needs we share for communion and home. • "I love that we have Japan, the UAE, Rome! All of these stories ask us to think about the idea of home. Home as a cruise ship, home as a place distant enough to be reinvented, home as a gym, home as a body, home as a faraway story.” - Ramona Ausubel •2020 novel OFF ISLAND: book trailer named "Book Trailer of the Day" on Jan. 3, 2020, by Shelf Awareness, https://shelf-awareness.com/issue.html?issue=3647#m46985 • Stories from Amphibians have been published or awarded by: Epiphany Magazine, Nowhere Magazine, Dogwood Journal, The Ghost Story, Zone 3, Schaffner Press, Sonora Review, Hidden River Arts • Other work has been published or awarded by: The Believer Magazine, Crazyhorse Journal, Encircle Publications, Untreed Reads • Author was just interviewed in Nowhere Magazine https://nowheremag.com/miscellany/ • Author's debut novel reviewed by Elle. com • Author's 2020 novel, Off Island, was blurbed by Antonya Nelson, Jeremy Gavron, and Peter Turchi Table of Contents Amphibians 4 Dishdash 42 The Mission Bell 70 Glass 81 Belly Dancing 96 Ting 115 Spoils 124 Freizeit 134 Fishing 154 Before and After Florence 166 Good Neighbors 172
