So lovely! Did you post this on Race to the Hugo? I’m ashamed to say I haven’t written anything for it yet!
I have not! (Yet.) I’m ashamed to say that I didn’t think of it, but maybe I should! Thanks for the idea. Time you, Mitchell, and I get serious about our project again!
(ALSO, I just gave the bouncer a bloody nose. I don’t know why he keeps shoving you into the hall closet. I am SO sorry.)
You certainly flipped the legend on its head. Lovely, descriptive writing here.
Cheers,
Mitch
It was fun to do that. I like flipping things on their heads and twisting tales.
I see what you did there. LOL
This is delightful and so fun to read. Great work Holly!
Thank you, Lynne! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Holly ~ I like your title. It draws one in, but it does not give away what “I” will be reading about.
You drew me in to this story. I didn’t suspect that she was a mermaid until a long way into the piece. Bravo.
I love how you included lore: …Diana saw to that with a voice that could lull a whole ship full of sailors far off course…
Write On, please!
