Maera was a nymph. Or was she? She claimed to be a genuine Nereid from antiquity. Right out of the pages of Greek mythology. Well, that's what she told Doc Roussos who lived alone on the island. Kalamos was remote and sparsely populated. An exquisite pine-covered jewel that rose steep and majestic out of the turquoise and cobalt Mediterranean. Maera would visit Doc on those summer nights uninvited. Arriving unannounced, she would appear at his ruin--a formerly destroyed Venetian castle. It was a place over the years he had more-less inherited, as volunteer custodian of the archaeological structure. 
But who really was this honey-haired girl who began to invade Doc's chosen isolation? Somewhere in her twenties, beautiful, and with a musical voice and a graceful gait, she seemed real enough to the retired professor. But it was her nightly stories which gave him pause for disbelief. They were tales from a long-ago past. And not just of previous ages, but romances and adventures Dr. Roussos had been long familiar with. Mythological accounts capable of beguiling a charmed listener well into a world time before time . . . But were the stories all she offered him?

76 parts Complete Mature
🔥Releasing on Amazon February or March 2025 🖤 "You will remember me," I utter, wrapping my hand tighter around the candle. "You will remember the woman who burned your world to ash. For I am a reckoning. I am vengeance. I am your demise. And no one, no man nor army shall stand in my way. Unless they also wish to burn." 🔥 🌺Corintha is an iron hearted young Mer living on Isla de las Madres, home to one of the great Mer pods of the Southern Seas. At seventeen summers, Corintha is now full grown in the eyes of her elders. Old enough to find a mate during the yearly mating season, when the young males return from exploring the world of man, far different than the calm tranquility of their island home. A land that haunts Corintha with the memories of loss, pain, and the fear that her future will be made for her. But her destiny will not be one where tradition will bind her and keep her bound to the island. Fate will pull her into the arms of Ares, the son of the pod's chief and a male that will have Corintha questioning her innermost desires. However, he will not win her heart without a fight and surviving the endless dangers that lie ahead for him, Corintha, and their motley crew of chaotic companions. The hands of fate will lead the young Mer on a journey they never thought possible. Faced with rival Mer from the North, pirates that hold deadly knowledge, and navigating the world of man without revealing their inhuman nature. These trials will test them, break them, and bring about a new story, a new legend for the travelers of land and sea. A villain with a thirst for blood. A creature of nightmarish myth. A monster to be feared. A title that Corintha will learn to bare with pride. 🦚 Trigger warning ⚠️- this book contains scenes of gore, violence, abuse, assault, and sexual situations.

Cass has no memories of her parents, only impossible dreams of waves and orcas and, sometimes, her mother's voice. When she and her adopted aunt return to the Pacific Northwest island--where her parents died twelve years before--Cass hopes the place will trigger long-buried memories. Instead, she discovers that the impossible is real, and that history is about to repeat itself. Unless she can stop it. ***Teaser*** The water hit with such a shock of cold that Cass thought she was going to pedal up and out of it again like some cartoon character. Instead, she flailed and splashed and smashed one arm against a piling as salt water poured into her raincoat & filled her shoes. "How do you like it?" Jason yelled. She spun until she could make out his form, black against gray sky. "What?" she sputtered. She dragged one arm from the water long enough to shove wet hair from her face. Jason became clearer: black hair dark above his yellow raincoat, arms crossed over his chest. "What the hell are you talking about?" "I asked how you like it, going for a swim in this water." She was open-mouthed with disbelief. It was a bad idea; a surge lifted her and slapped salt water into her mouth. Bile burned her throat as she coughed and all the while she was still flailing at the water, fighting the drag of shoes and clothes to keep afloat. She should kick them off-that's what you were supposed to do if you fell into the ocean with your clothes on-but she was only a dozen feet from the dock. Besides, it was her only coat. Jason watched her the way she'd watch a barracuda. "I know you're following me." "Following you?" What. The. Hell. She gave a mighty kick and tossed her coat onto the dock. Jason just stood there. "I nearly drowned last week, you know that? Now you show up as if nothing happened." "Last week," Cass said slowly, "I was in Argentina." Whatever he'd seen, it wasn't her.
