    Announcing the first member of the “Mermaids in the Media” panel, best selling author K.M. Robinson.
    K.M. Robinson is a young adult author that has been called the queen of fairytale retellings, dystopians, fantasy, and mermaids books. She’s also a social media strategist that has been interviewed by Facebook for her innovative work in the field and recently represented the USA in a major broadcast for World Social Media Day.
    She will be doing a signing of her mermaid series “The Siren Wars” after the panel.
    Want to preorder books to ensure we don’t run out at the book signing? Visit mermaigcon.kmrobinsonbooks.com to secure advanced copies of The Siren Wars Saga, The Sinking, and K.M.’s other retellings, sci fi, and fantasy books.We’re only bringing a limited number of copies, so this is the best way to ensure you get what you’d like to read and have K.M. sign it at the event!

    Announcing the Mermaid Treasure Auction!
    Have a high-end tail or mermaid item that you’d like to sell but don’t need a full vending booth? We are now taking submissions to have your item featured at the Mermaid Treasure Auction. This silent auction will be open Friday night through mid-Sunday and winners will be able to take their new piece home from the convention!
    There will be silicone tails (like this Mermaid Kariel tail, starting bid of $1800), sequin tails, mythic tails and one-of-a-kind wonders. Come see them in person at Mer-Magic Con
    If you’d like to sell one of your pieces as part of our auction, submit here to be considered. The selected items will be featured on the website ahead of the convention. Items must retail for over $300 to be considered.

    So cool! I’m trying to save money right now so I probably won’t go, but I’ll consider changing my mind.

    I am super stoked to be going to my first Mer-Con. I was extremely fortunate to get my ticket and the intro to freediving at a cheaper rate as I purchased it from someone who was unable to attend but had already paid. I have never done this sort of thing before and I am praying to Goddess that I do not embarrass myself.

    Don't worry - you Won't.

    The great thing about this community is the Acceptance - you would have to be intentionally flat-out Nasty to someone to embarrass yourself.
