The Professor and the Siren by thethornsofmylife

My whole life I dedicated to discovering the secrets of the ocean, but when one day I encounter a merman I think I might be losing my mind. Except it's real and he's asking me out. Spilling all his secrets. Sating my curiosity and stirring my lust. My own private nerdy professor turned merman, he ticks all my boxes. What do I do when my merman is in danger of discovery from my colleagues? Do I turn my back on them and help him? Do I sink or swim? Do I fall in love? This is a short prequel story for my other story Hook, Line & Sinking. This story can be read stand alone and you don't need to read this story to understand Hook, it's simply a bonus. ;-)

A Kelpie of Rowan by booklover241014

Red-haired and green-eyed Rowan is an average Scottish Girl. Of course, there is one thing special about her, something that was once abundant but in modern times is now ignored. She believes in all the stories, of selkies and fairies, and most of all, the kelpies. This is the Third book in my Sea Monster Saga. I highly recommend you read the first two books before you start this one.

The Isle of Skye by nerdynails

I guess with all the talk of mermaid movies, art and Mer-May happening a few months ago, I got the idea to write such a story with a twist: Luke Skywalker as a merman! And Mara Jade as the land dweller he's come ashore for. If you'd like, there is also a playlist on Spotify for this story. Just copy & paste this link in the Spotify search bar or look it up by the story's title. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6jphS39SLlDBWNKEevsrTE?si=732cff63841a4b1a The Isle of Skye is an island of Scotland. Scotland has lots of legends and folklore about sea creatures such as: Merlin- a small bird of prey, like a falcon, found in Scotland. kelpies - A waterhorse that will trick a human rider, taking them for a ride down to the watery depths, killing them. selkies - A shapeshifter that changes from a seal to a human on land by removing its seal skin coat. finfolk - A creature that comes ashore from the water to kidnap humans forcing them to become their spouses or slaves in their underwater world. bacon butty and scotch pie are a small mincemeat or pot pie type of food. Cranachan is like a raspberry parfait, sort of. Irn Bru is to Scotland what Coke-a-Cola is to the U.S. The Hebridean Mermaid is a young Scottish lady who swims about the Outer Hebrides area in her mermaid fin costume. The Dunvegan Castle is the home of the clan Macleod, who are said to own a flag given them by a fairy who also may have married into the family. Americans may recognize the name Macleod from The Highlander movies and series. rockpooling is searching or foraging for sea creatures or seafood in the rocky areas that are exposed when the tide is out. The summers on Skye can range in temperatures from 15-17C (59-63F) crannogs were a type of dwelling built on stilts in the water by people from long ago

The Souls of Drowned People by ElleSvensson

Moira knows there has to be a reason why she was forced to leave Ireland after her father's drowning, and the secrets her mother keeps aren't calming her curiosity and desire to learn the truth. Her only link to the past is her best friend, Cillian, and even he has grown quiet as Moira's eighteenth birthday approaches. But when Cillian finally agrees to take her back to Ireland, and Moira sees the fierce waves and the seals that watch her from the rocks, the stories hidden from her suddenly begin to make sense. Her family has been feuding with the selkies, the seal people that surround the village, for years, causing the numerous drownings that lead her mother to fear the water so much. Moira can end the issue - she's supposed to marry a selkie prince once she's eighteen, forever tying her people with the seals. Moira has only just discovered the life hidden from her, and going to live with the seals would mean giving up the life she's always wanted to live. She doesn't want to give herself up to the sea. It will have to come for her.

The Mermaid's Key: A Novella by JeremyBennett2

After his grandfather Theo's passing, James sets about clearing and cleaning up his grandfather's belongings before the estate sale when he runs into something peculiar. A box made of shells, worn shut with time, and hidden in the dark recesses of the past. The contents: a key, a brass heart, a journal and letters that leave behind a glimpse into a part of his grandfather's life that James never expected - a world of ancient magic, witches and wizards, mermaids and a love story strong enough to break any heart. The legends are real, partly. Atargatis, the first mermaid, was an ancient witch thrown into the sea by the hostile and fearful townspeople who didn't understand the magic they knew and sensed. What they didn't see was the consequences of their actions, Atargatis' use of magic and the creation of the mermaid with all of its magical abilities. Centuries later Ariana, a young daughter of the clan leader, lives her life in torment, torn between her love of everything under the ocean and the beauty of the boundless sky above. She discovers Theodore, a human, and falls so much in love that she can't fathom a life without him - an ideal that she will go to any length to stand by. What you think you know is but a small part of a much larger story, one that before now has never been told. Love is simply a transfer of energy from one of us to another, all of us connected in a web that we simply label "The Universe." Love and sacrifice have consequences, some which can never be foreseen.
