Mermaids and Merliens
A Complete, Young Adult Portal Fantasy Series
A Jersey Shore lifeguard. An immortal mermaid. An apocalypse churning beneath the waves.
When seventeen-year-old Jonah Whitmore discovers the ocean’s unfathomable secret, he unleashes a fishy dose of ancient magic, transforming him into a wet and wild mythological creature. Unaccustomed to dolphin kicking in salty waters, Jonah crashes into Mezzy, a rebellious mermaid with an appetite for adventure. Drawn to his humanity and effervescent charm, Mezzy helps Jonah master his lustrous, aquatic body.
A gentle spark of daring, inter-species intimacy allows these sea-crossed lovers to open portals that transport them in and out of fantasy realms. Navigating the cosmos, they’ll battle monsters and magicians, rewrite fantasy, and shake up Arthurian legends, unlocking their inner heroic nature along the way.
In a race to save multiple timelines, Jonah and Mezzy’s mutual, untamed devotions could very well be their ultimate undoing. From Earth’s deepest abyss to the outermost cosmos, the DNA between mermaids, merliens, and humans is merging. It’s time to dive deep and get salty… before the multitude of apocalypses comes crashing down.
Daydream Believer
An Upper Middle Grade Fantasy of The Mind
If you are a believer, come in...
It’s been three years since Jonas Shay’s mother disappeared. Rather than face the painful truth, he lost himself in an elaborate daydream—a wonderland he called Extraordinary. With his dad’s help, Jonas eventually grounded himself back in the real world.
Today, just shy of turning thirteen, Jonas’s overactive imagination is acting up again. He can ignore jabbering seagulls and pushy elfins for a while. But when Jonas learns his mom is being held captive somewhere deep inside his fantasy, reality fades once again.
Falling into his familiar, beloved daydream, Jonas quickly realizes his childish, make-believe world is dying. Along with his best friend Zana and a few imaginary heroes, he’ll embark on a quest to find his long-lost mother and save Extraordinary from extinction. But if he does, what will become of his reality?
