Water Dreams

By Katherine Eddinger Smits

When Nik learns mermaids and mermen are real and want her help, she doesn’t believe it. Then she meets the gorgeous, but arrogant, Bas, who insists that in water he shape-shifts into one of the mermen, who call themselves Nerei. Then he tells her that her father was one of them too. Bas turns Nik’s life into a tale that could come straight out of Greek mythology. She has to fight tricky mermaids, kidnappers, a water phobia, recurrent nightmares, and her growing attraction to Bas.

Bas knows he must convince Nik to cooperate, so they can determine why she is able to survive away from water, while the Nerei depend on it for life. He can’t stop thinking about her, but the Nerei forbid interspecies relationships and Nik won’t help them anyway.

Can Bas and Nik somehow bridge the gulf, for the sake of everyone, especially the two of them?

Katherine Eddinger Smits

Katherine Eddinger Smits grew up in Tarpon Springs, Florida. Although not from a Greek background, she fell in love with the Greek culture of the town and its close-knit community. She moved away years ago, but she still visits Tarpon Springs frequently to see old friends and classmates, walk the beaches or shop and eat at the Sponge Docks.Katherine was devastated to learn her first career choice—mermaid, was not realistic, so she started writing stories in grade school, and planned to write novels someday. She put off writing fiction while she raised her family and worked as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker at four different Veterans Affairs Medical Centers around the country. She found helping veterans and their families fulfilling, and managed to squeeze writing into her life. Whether recording clinical assessments, producing brochures for social programs or putting together newsletters for clubs and organizations, she always had some kind of creative project in the works.Katherine lives with her husband in Homosassa, Florida and Falling Waters, West Virginia. They have a daughter who resides in Alexandria, Virginia and a son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter in Chesapeake, Virginia.Water Dreams, Katherine's debut novel, is a paranormal romance set in Tarpon Springs, Florida and is the first book in the Love's Siren Song series.Web Site: katherineeddingersmits.weebly.comE-Mail: [e-mail]
