M2, the official name for the second book in the Mermaid Adventures stories now has a title, "The Mermaid's Apprentice," a cover and has been proofed in book form and is now available. (Whew!) On with M3!
Currently it is available on Amazon.com as the paperback and e-book, as well as the two Google Play and Books e-book versions, plus a host of other locations.

Big news, finally M2 is at the Editor! M2 has been given a title - "The Mermaid's Apprentice." It is hard to believe for me that the book is "almost" done. The Editor has up to 25 days to get it back to me, so we're probably looking at sometime in October for the release. The paperback book will be available on Amazon for $14.99, and the e-book for $5.99 from various e-book vendors. I'm still pondering title for book 2. I'll update here and / or on Facebook when I know. M2 has been given a title - "The Mermaid's Apprentice." My original ideas fell short, and with the help of an author forum the Writers' Cafe @ www.kboards.com. These wonderful...
Recently I had the book beta-read at Frostbite Publishing (FBP). They (their reader) went through the book chapter by chapter and said what they liked and didn't like about the chapter. Nice valuable insight. It's tough to get friends / family to read the manuscript in a timely fashion, everyone is so busy. Let alone say what bothers them about the story.

That's the kind of feedback I needed. There were things they liked, but there were other areas where it was weak. Some was horrible,...
I've been playing around with covers for book 2 of the Mermaid Adventure series. The Mermaid's Apprentice Identity was my initial idea for the book's title. I'd say the book is 85% done. As the author, I'm never truly satisfied, but saying that and having a goal are two separate things. I rewrote an important early chapter, the narrative that it replaced was boring me to tears. The new chapter is the funniest bit of comedy I've ever written - that'd have been fun had I used that style the whole book. I'm still seeking a title for the book, and have yet to send it to be edited. So at the earliest we're looking at a month until its finished, which...
Mermaid Adventures, Book 2 - I finally wrote a chapter I've been knowing needed to be written, but had never found a fun approach. Here follows the ramblings of an author trying to connect to their readers while working on a manuscript While talking to someone this morning about a "mistake" in "Mermaid Rising," I got to thinking, it could be the silver bullet to the unwritten chapter.So now, you may think I planned for it. Honestly, it was a mistake. I do hate not being able to share what, where and so forth, but it would spoil the story - but now it is all "fixed." That is if it makes the cut for the final manuscript.A couple other developments.I...
