Ongoing, First published May 29, 2013
Thea Emerson has always been afraid of the ocean. After nearly drowning when she was younger, she refuses to step foot back into the ocean's waves. She's just not willing to make that risk.

Until she moves to Hollis Cove.

When Thea moves to the beautiful coastal town just in time to start her senior year, she is not only drawn to the ocean's waves but to a boy who spends most of his time in them. She finds herself wanting to go into the water, as if its actually calling out her name.

And then in a split second mistake, Thea finds out the truth. Will isn't human. At least, not completely. He has fins and a claim to the underwater thrown. As she explores Will's real home beneath the tide, she finds everything about it to be unsettling familiar.

And when she remembers the truth...her life will change forever.

"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.
