How To Be A Mermaid/Marine Biologist
All smiles! I won the bid with NOAA/NMFS to create an educational rockfish kids science book & poster!! Drawings of canary rockfish, yellow eye rockfish & bocaccio coming soon!
Nothing like catching a big fish contract!

There have been a lot of inquiries about the first Mermaid Scientist book coming out in time for the holidays. I myself was extremely excited too. This was to be the easiest Christmas shopping year of my life. One item for everyone! Done! Happy Holidays! Love Me. But the tide is switching and temporarily floating Mermaid Scientist away into the world of real world publishers. I am bursting with happiness to report this, don’t get me wrong! But I am choking on the enthusiastic lump in my throat as I report that Mermaid Scientist is not aloud out into the world quite yet. Soon to be sure, just not in time for Christmas 2014. I will keep you updated as things progress and be tragically relegated to gifting of socks, calendars and fruitcakes this year.

R is for Reef Realestate
Native Name: Bahura
The Reef is an underwater ocean city
Made of the colors & creatures also found in the depths of your imagination.
Brilliant blue angels & purple porcupines
Tangerine sponges & lemon sharks
Dolphin queens & dugong kings
Creepy crawlers, poisonous spines, silky pearls & polka dots
of every shape and size.
Some eat plants, some eat each other.
Forever living, forever breathing, watching, building, swimming and eating.
They dance, enchant and take your breath away.
Forever & ever & ever
