"A writer is a world trapped in a person." - Victor Hugo
In March 2020, I was picked as an mentee in #AuthorMentorMatch Round 7 by Priscilla Mante
for my story THE FISHY SITUATION. Revising my story was something positive I could focus on
during lockdowns and the pandemic.
I changed the title to A GEOCACHER'S GUIDE TO MERMAIDS, and it is my second ever
completed MG manuscript. It's contemporary MG with fantasy elements.
Four adventurous kids
Two slick villains
Mermaids of the grumpy and friendly variety
A race to save the local ecosystem
Setting inspired by the real life Weeki Wachee Springs State Park in Florida,
where I lived near for 15 years. I loved the mermaid show there!
My first story ever written is MG fantasy/scifi, set on an alternate historical Earth,
called THE SECRETS OF STARDUST. I hope to revise that one again one day.
