    Just a heads up, I have a HUGE list of people who want signed copies, much more than I anticipated! My first shipment arrives this week and I'll be contacting the first people who got on the list about payment etc. Everyone else will have to wait a few extra days while my second larger shipment gets in I wont ask anyone for money til I have their book in my hand!

    Also, I made a goofy video to advertise it, haha



    We sold 50 copies online alone on Friday, then sales continued pretty well over the weekend, and many people are signed up for signed ones. I think we'll reach 100 books by the end of this week! I don't expect it to keep lasting like that, what with this being a niche market and all but it's pretty cool. So thank-you to everyone for supporting this project! I am already working on my next written book, and we'll be publishing a photo book in September! <3

    Okay folks, so heads up. Apparently the publisher had some stupid issue, and some of the books that got sent out were the proof version. It's no different than the regular version, safe for I think 5 spelling errors, and a few odd formatting issues where there were extra spaces. Shouldn't be too visible, but I'm mad as hell anyway I've called them, sent a help ticket through their site, and emailed. I want to make sure it doesn't all get sent out that way!

    Apparently first editions end up worth more money? lol....

    Then those must be worth even more. LOL.
    I bought the PDF yesterday because I couldn't wait to read it. Read it twice.
    Today I wrote a review on the lulu.

    This is awesome!

    Hi Mermaid Miel,

    After reading your review, I can understand the emotion behind such an important time in Raina's life! Not everyone gets published and it's a big deal, especially for your first book! I applaud you for being so specific, and genuine. I get the sense, from your word, "awesome" that it doesn't come close! I'm so impatient to read the book now! Even as a retired "professional Mermaid", opportunities present themselves and I am 40 years out of touch with current practices. It's a whole new learning curve for me.

    Thank you for writing a 5 review!

    And A Big Thank you to Raina for her time, honesty, passion, and Love of All Things Mer, for writing this book!

    I'm sure I will learn alot when my book arrives from Raina.
    Mermaid Marla
