This week marks the official launch of Real Mermaids Don’t Need High Heels and to help celebrate I am hosting a giveaway contest of the whole series on Facebook. Just click on the picture below to find out how to enter (Open to US/CA: contest closes midnight, Feb 8th).
And find out more about the whole series (including Book #4!) HERE.
Also, I am thrilled to have a special guest on my blog today! Her name is Lizzie and she’s a Real Mermaids reader. *applause* Lizzie interviewed me for a recent school project to get the ‘inside scoop’ on Book #3 and here are her fun questions.
1) What can you tell me about Jade in the third book?
In Real Mermaids Don’t Need High Heels, Jade is really ready for life to return to normal – even if ninth grade is like being a goldfish in a shark tank and the upcoming Fall Folly Formal means Jade must get over her fear of awkward dancing. Plus there is unrest in the ocean, and the whole mer-world is on the brink of civil war.
Can Jade find a plus-sized dress that doesn’t look like a shower curtain, keep her mer-ness a secret, finally figure out if she and Luke are officially dating, and help pull off the biggest political coup in mer history?
With so much at stake, ‘awkward dancing’ is rapidly becoming the least of Jade’s worries.
2) Are Cori and Jade still best friends?
Cori and Jade are definitely still best friends but things get a little complicated when Serena (the mergirl from Talisman Lake) comes back to town and Jade needs to be her constant babysitter to help keep her out of trouble. Lainey is stirring up trouble again, too, so it becomes a bit complicated when Jade tries to make nice with Lainey’s mom to save Cori’s fashion mentorship and Cori doesn’t appreciate her going behind her back to do so.
3) What do you do when you’re not writing a book?
I write full time but I’m a mom of two girls so that keeps me plenty busy the rest of my free time. I’m also a 1/2 marathon walker and love to start my day with a good long walk. When I have time, I love to paint or play my guitar.
4) Do you like to swim? (I do – I love the water!!!!)
I used to be a lifeguard so I love to swim!
5) Who is your favorite artist (musicwise)?
I love strong female vocalists who are also musicians who play instruments so Alison Krauss and Diana Krall are at the top of my list. Pink is also a fave whenever I’m out on a powerwalk. I think she’s awesome.
