In case you missed this announcement in my newsletter, The Banister Buzz, earlier this month, I am doing a fun, little giveaway in honor of MerMay, which is "a month-long celebration of creativity, community, and above all . . . MERMAIDS."
I recently received a birthday gift from a dear
friend that I thought was one of the most darling, mermaid-themed items
I've ever seen--a Voodoo Watchover Mermaid. She promises, "I will
watchover your confidence as you swim
with passion through the sea of life." I named her Waverly, and she now
sits in a place of honor on my desk.
I want to share the mermaid love and gift a Voodoo Watchover Mermaid to
TWO of my lovely readers. This giveaway* will be open through the end
of MerMay (Sunday, the 31st), and here's what you have to do to enter:
1) E-mail me with the first names of the
four mermaids who are part of the pod that works at the Cape Cod
Aquarium in my book In the Swim of Things. I'll get you started by
telling you that the heroine is one of them.
2) If you want to earn a bonus entry, also tell me the two names of the merwranglers who work at the aquarium.
***PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE YOUR ANSWER ON THIS POST! E-MAIL YOUR ENTRY TO ME.***
If you've read the book, you shouldn't have any trouble finding these
names. If you haven't, grab yourself a copy and get to reading! It's a
guaranteed good time for mermaid fans. The e-book is just $1.99 at
Amazon and it's also available to Kindle Unlimited subscribers: In the Swim of Things
I will select my two winners via a random drawing on June 1st and
inform them by e-mail. The Voodoo Watchover Mermaids will ship straight
from Amazon to the winners. Good luck and Happy MerMay!
*Due to the prohibitive cost of international shipping, this MerMay giveaway is open to people in the United States only.
Today
(Sunday, March 29th) is International Mermaid Day and I couldn't let
this day pass without sharing the mermaid love and doing something
special.
For one week only, my RomCom, IN THE SWIM OF THINGS, will be on sale
for just 99 cents. That's 361 pages of love, laughs, and mermaidy
goodness for less than a dollar! This e-book about a professional
mermaid who finds herself torn between a hunky surfer and a broody
single dad will transport you to the sunny shores of Cape Cod, and I can't think of a better place to escape at the moment.
This sale will run through my birthday on Saturday, April 4th. I hope
IN THE SWIM OF THINGS will entertain you and make you smile. If you've
already read it, please consider gifting the book to the mer-pals in
your pod. I'm sure they'd appreciate you thinking of them.
Thanks in advance to anyone who's kind enough to share this sale on social media. I have posts up on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
Wishing you a Mer-mazing International Mermaid Day!

Blurb: A sexy, sun-soaked tale about a tail-wearing girl who makes a lot of
waves—perfect for fans of Lauren Layne, Meghan Quinn, and Christina
Lauren.
Ocean-loving Kyra Goodwin had to give up her dream of
becoming the female Jacques Cousteau in order to take care of her father
and brother, but being a mermaid at the Cape Cod Aquarium is pretty
fintastic as far as alternative careers go.
Of course, life as a
half-fish/half-woman isn’t all sunken treasure and Ariel twirls. Kyra
has to deal with perpetually pruney fingers, eyes irritated by
saltwater, and bratty kids on the daily, plus her glam alter ego can
make dating really weird. (So many men have pervy siren-of-the-sea
fantasies!) When she meets hunky surfer Cade, and he’s into her without
knowing what she does for a living, Kyra thinks she’s finally won the
romance lottery.
Unfortunately, Kyra’s plans for a carefree
summer of catching waves with her new boyfriend run aground when Sea
Star Beach, a place that holds great sentimental value for her, is taken
over by a big-city developer who wants to build an exclusive resort.
Kyra’s crusade to save her beloved beach threatens both her job and her
relationship with Cade as does her growing closeness with her
irresistibly broody merwrangler, Declan, whose precocious daughter is
intent on playing matchmaker.
When a new family drama arises just
as Kyra receives an offer that would turn her greatest desire into
reality, she’s torn. Will she do what’s expected of her, or dive in and
follow her heart?
