Hi everyone!
A while ago I was contacted by amazing author Varla Ventura to share my story of becoming a mermaid for her new book 'Among the Mermaids: Facts, Myths and Enchantments from the Sirens of the Sea'! Its been published and I've got a copy on the way to me now! :D Hannah Mermaid and a few other inspiring mers are including in the book :)
Its my first time being in a book so its rather exciting! ^_^

Among the book description:
"Since 2009, the town of Kiryat Yam, Israel has offered a prize of $1 million dollars to anyone who can prove the mermaid off their coast is real. The prize remains unclaimed."

er...this was taken from animal planet mockumentary, (bad) part 2 right?
It's hard enough to differentiate between urban legends of our time, pop culture influx, and the "real" myths,
without having an author mixing the AP mock in it :(

The mer sightings off Kiryat Yam are some of the few things in the mockumentary that are real. The video of one of the sightings is fake though.

This book was written wayy before the Animal Planet mockumentary- its only just been published now- therefore I know she did not get the info from the show :)
