Zombie Models, It Led to the Runway 

New York, in the not so distant future…

As quickly as they started, the tremors rocking Gloria’s body stopped and she pushed herself to her knees; her arms shaking in front of her.  Her fingers tingled and her normally smooth skin started flaking. Green mold traced her veins covering her body. Her mouth gaped in disbelief, her green eyes staring down at her arms. Something inside of her felt different, too. 

She heard screeching beside her and realized it was coming from her friend Tammy, who they all called Tam Tam. Gloria covered her mouth and took a long, shaky breath. Her stomach rumbled and she heaved a few more times. With a start, she realized that the screaming had stopped and her friend yelled a question. 

“What the hell happened to you?” Tam Tam dropped to her knees with a sway in her hands, she seemed torn between wanting to lift her friend up and fear of contagion. 

THE MER, mermaid dystopia FREE one last day!

Sometimes I’m asked what mermaids and dystopia have in common and some readers picked up their copy of THE MERS just to find out. Could the author pull it off? Combining these two seemingly different genres? Decide for yourself.

Why did I write THE MERS? 

Because I was inspired by the idea of a future world covered in water. With global warming issues, I think this world is one possible way our Earth could turn out. Floods and ice caps melting make this seem even more real. 

But what would this world be like? Would humans resort back to their Neanderthal days? Resort back to the way life was in Old England before the age of Enlightenment. Without books and modern technology, much of our knowledge that we take for granted now-a-days would be gone.

How would humans survive? 

This is how Remnantville was born. A land on the border of NJ, on the border of where THE MERS reside. Forbidden to Mers Remnantville consists of Aristos, Magi, Pirates, and Commoners. 

Humans fall back on their ingrained sense of superiority. The Killing Fields, the Tibetan massacres, the Holocaust, Rwanda, South Africa. Humans have always drawn lines between groups of people. Prejudice and oppression is something deep with the fabric of humanity. I doubt humans will ver overcome this engrained fabric of ourselves, but my stories like to shed light on the consequences of such behavior and attitudes.

From The Day the Flowers Died, to Shifters, to Mers...my writing has one universal theme as an ongoing undercurrent.

The Aristo make up a people who revert to human behavior in the time of kings and queens of Old England. 

Pirates are the rebellious humans who break the Aristo rules and Mer rules, killing Mers for money.

Magi show us a part of ourselves we don’t want to confront, the superstitious part that puts vanity before humanity. 

Commoners are the common people who simply suffer under the hands of those above.

While many of the themes are deep, the story is light hearted and written such that even someone in elementary school can enjoy the story. A refreshing and heart-felt innocent romance, along with adventure and lots of laughs makes this story come alive in the bonds of a mystery unfolding...a mystery that reveals who Mira is by the end of the tale.  

I hope this answers some of the questions about why I wrote this story and I hope you pick up your free copy 3/18-3/19 on kindle exclusively!! The novel is DRM free so you may convert the kindle mobi into epub or pdf for your convenience to read on any ereader or computer.

“Two Pirates carried a Mer prisoner in shackles to the cen- ter of town. They thought they had him secure,” Covering his mouth with his hand, Ethan let out a laugh. “But obviously

they had not. That headstrong Mer broke the iron chains. How, we will never know, and he proceeded to race around town with every Pirate after him.”
“What finally happened?” Mira bit her lip, hoping for a happy ending for the Mer.
“The Mer was stabbed, wasting his eyes and hair. The blade went through the back of his head and ruined any chance for a wig or amulets.”
Mira stood, silenced. She wanted to react to hearing of the brutal incident that could have involved Nerin or any of her loved ones, but she couldn’t let her sympathies show. Zale had warned her about the Pirates on many occasions. “You have to be tough," her father had warned. “Keep a strong spirit.” 

Holding in her desire to defend the Mers, she managed to turn her grimace into an awkward smile and changed the subject. “I guess you get a lot of business here?” Mira pointed to the most dazzling amulet with a yellow-orange hue. Un- like most of the eyes that shone yellow, this one glowed slightly different.
“I do very well, thanks to the Aristos,” the owner com- mented, handing the amulet to her. After laying the necklace across the counter, Mira touched the glass that held the eye and felt a distinct shock, like electricity, run through her veins.
Jolted back, she landed into Ethan’s arms, “Gotcha.” “Geez, sorry again.”
“Don’t worry about it; I have that effect on women,” Ethan
joked, making Mira smile. Inside, however, she wondered why she had such a reaction to all the Mer paraphernalia. She grew up with the Mers. That much was certain. She loved the Mers, but could that alone be the reason she felt the eyes calling to her, shocking her? The reason that the smells of dead Mer hair and skin made her mind foggy and dizzy?
“Do you want to get out of here?” Mira moved her slim form toward the door, feeling nauseated.

“Sure.” His eyes conveyed something that Mira couldn’t quite figure out, something that made her all the more curi- ous and nervous.
As they strolled along the road, the Commoners were neatly tucked away inside their assigned shops, so the streets remained bare. Good fortune to find the streets empty, as that gave more time for Mira and her friends to go unno- ticed.
