Submerse yourself in this dynamic collection of twelve soulful stories. From Harry Styles fanfic to a magical fantasy holiday tale to a deeply moving story about a young girl and her seafaring grandpa, the twelve pieces included here encourage an open mind, a loving heart and that you do your best to honor yourself (because this is not always easy but it's important) and live a life true to what is really in your heart and soul. Being hardworking and understanding that believing in yourself is the way to go. I've never felt comfortable doing things or accepting things simply because "it's the way it's always been done". Why not throw out all the comparisons to "the norm" that we may have made. Those types of ideals and comparisons are stifling to the true, one-of-a-kind magic that is YOU. Follow along with The Misplaced Mermaids as they march to the beats of their own fantastic drums. Stories included: Backstage, Desert, Graveyard, Guarded, Midnight, Mistletoe, Moonlight, Native, Never, Rhinestone, Textbook and Urban.

Time is one of the most valuable things a person can give these days and Carlene thanks you from a genuine and humble heart for yours. Happy Reading. Be well, be you, and Be Here Now.
