I am totally mermaid crazy! If you know someone who is in love with mermaids, hope you'll let them know about my newest book, Books vs Looks. It released on Sept. 6th and it is the story of a battle between Kiki's book club and Pearl's beauty club. Can the two mermaids find a way to work together?
     To celebrate the release I want to visit as many book clubs as I can in September. I hope you will invite me to Skype or appear in person at your child's book club.  Hope to see you soon!
