Being a child of the 80’s, the story about Mermaids that made the most distinctive impression on me was Splash, with Tom Hanks and Darryl Hannah. So when I first started writing Scales and Salt, I had in mind a mermaid who learned about humans from watching television. Salt was where the story started, but as the novella turned into a full length novel,I realized that a prologue story might be a perfect beginning for it, and it allows characters to get to know my enigmatic and surly merman, Bailey, too.
Pauline Creeden is the author of the book Scales which is now on sale.
The scales will measure her worth to her clan. Will she endure thirty days as a land-walker to gather information and knowledge to appease her clan and return a valued member? Will she wait three years, until she is twenty, and find a mer of her kind to accept her and marry her? Or will she suffer exile for the rest of her life?
