Olivia lives in a small beachfront town where she lives with her barely tolerable aunt, uncle, and cousin, goes to school where no one knows her and she has no friends, and her job is one of the only things that she enjoys. Well, not the only thing. Did I forget to mention? Olivia is a mermaid.
While Olivia struggles with her unbearable shyness, she will have to deal with love, family secrets, drama, and the ever-present threat of being discovered that hangs over her head. She has many questions that need answered, and it only seems like more questions keep popping up. What happened to her parents? Are there more like her out there? What is going on with Mason, that cute lifeguard that she may or may not be interested in?
And that's only skimming the surface.

The ocean can be gentle, lulling one into a false sense of security. But the waters are never calm in the Bermuda triangle, and when the waves pick up, one may be dragged under the sea. Kiara Vatelle's love of the ocean brings her to The Bahamas for her senior trip. It is her dream vacation - four weeks of sun, sand, and quality time with her sister. Only one thing can foil her vacation, and that is the ocean itself. The Bermuda Triangle hides a secret: mermaids and mermen. After swimming a little too far from the shore, Kiara finds herself in an ancient, undersea realm of mythical sea creatures. This new world is enchanting, and the mer-folk treat her like family, but are they just a little too eager for her to stay? From the ancient Kingdom of Oamer, to the hide-out of Pisces and Nereids, to a cursed Island and Tocona Isla, the odds seem to be against Kiara. Because even if she outwits those standing in her path, the seas always have their own plans. A tale of shady mermaids, astrological guardians, and a summer ocean adventure. ✧Second Draft ✧Cover by @_Foxicious ───｡ﾟ ♆ ﾟ｡─── ⚓︎ Featured | @talesofthedeep - Fintastic Reads ~ Sea Creatures ⚓︎ Featured | @mythandlegend - Atlantis and Legends on the Sea ⚓︎ Featured | @StoriesUndiscovered - November/ December 2020 ⚓︎ Finalist | @Fantasy Every Day in May contest 2019 ⚓︎ Honorable Mention | @PsychologicalNovel Reads Contest 2020Complete
Nightly Mermaids WATTPADPRIZE14 (2015)
Horror #40 Mystery #47 I wrote this in 2015... Mermaids have always been defined to be beautiful, gorgeous from head to fin, and intelligent. They are ones who are rumoured to have the ability to better your life with an encounter; and they are also rumoured to grow feet whenever they are to fall in love. Mermaids have always been the most loved characters of the children - not in Berry Bay, of course, but Adira and Danny are an exception. In Berry Bay - a town in where people are normally opposed to bravery - mermaids substitute the creepers at night, the noises only you hear and the mysterious vases that will shatter in thousands of shards. Mermaids are the ones that are hunted by the cops and the animal hunters, but never the fishermen. They are the ones who will dine on your hot flesh together with their family. But at daytime, with their magical pairs of feet, they appear to be what reality thinks they are. Beautiful, gorgeous from head to toe and intelligent.Complete
