"Our waters are changing. We've known it for a while now.

We can sense it. We can taste it. We can feel it."

Imagine growing up your whole life believing you know who you are, who you will become. You spend years training to become accepted into your clan. And on the day of your Testing, you fail. Imagine what happens then.

Leira, a young Mer is forced to fight for her survival in a world where friends can quickly become enemies, identities merge, and something is lurking - deep below the water.

"I was smoking on Shellfish Bridge, thinking about how I had completely screwed up my life, when an idea occurred to me; what if I jumped?" What happens when you make a suicidal jump off a bridge and everything goes completely wrong? Ask Tarabelle Johansson, an 18 year old girl that wanted to end her life, even though it had barely begun. Despite having to leave behind her older brother Ridge, Tara saw no good reason to stay alive much longer. Her mother has been deceased since she was nine and her father was a jobless drunk that had fun abusing Tara in every single way. The day Tara finally "quits" her job, she also decides to quit her life the easy way, by jumping off a bridge. But when she jumps off, nothing happens. She was supposed to die...only she didn't. The young woman was saved by the most unlikely creature possible, a mermaid. Instead of swimming Tara back to the surface to live on her life, the sea-girl decides to turn Tarabelle into a mermaid. Now, not only is Tara forced to live in an underwater kingdom full of human fish and has no idea how to adapt, but she also falls for the prince (soon to be king) Taiven. But the mermen is already engaged, and Tara finds out that his bride to be Adara is not what she appears. While all of this happens under sea, back on land Tarabelle's older brother Ridge, attempts to find out what exactly happened to her. He is convinced that his little sister would not commit suicide...or would she? This is the dazzling story about a girl who's life got turned upside down the day she wanted to die. This is the beginning of A Mermaid Tale.

Neera wasn't just part Mermaid, she was something else as well. Something that made most in her world over look her but she fought for the right things, Acceptance of her and those like her. In the midst of tragedy will she find love and a champion for her cause? Will he help her to bring about her dreams? Excerpt: "Neera this is Carson Lowe. Carson this is her. Isn't she just as beautiful as I said?" I blushed and jabbed her with my elbow. "Patty, what's going on?" She'd tried to set me up before and I had yet to be impressed by her idea of a perfect guy for me. "Carson is the man behind the Waves of Difference." I knew who the billionaire was but I didn't know he'd truly done more than rite about change. Now I understood why everyone was so interested in him. The Waves if Difference was a group that was in support of equality for each and everyone no matter who you were. I applauded his courage, but I still thought he exploited some of the smaller groups to build his empire. "He is planning a new article in his magazine, 'The difference in our world and how they change it.' each issue will feature an article about people like me and you, those who are different, and how they work to make things better." "You and Patty are among the top on my list. I had hoped to interview you both over the course of the convention. To be published next month in my magazine." "No thank you. While I can't speak for my sister I'm not interested." I started to turn to leave but Patty grabbed my arm. "But Nee, this would be great, think about all the people that could be inspired to make their own difference."
