About this series
The "Christmas Ball: A Mermaid Story" takes places between books 4 & 5 in the "Mermaid Adventure" series.
Author Note: I'm in the process of writing Book 3, and it has taken over a year to this point. I'd so hoped to be faster about it, but it is, what it is. So, I took some time out in November to write this short story. Enjoy it, I have.
When General Washington crosses the Delaware on Christmas Eve, he does so with the aid of mermaids. In a vision, today’s President Tolvar MacLeod observes the historic event and decides to commemorate it by inviting a modern-day mermaid to his annual Christmas Ball.
Melanie McKenzie, mermaid extraordinaire, receives that invitation while hiking in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and decides to go. With the help of Belfast, an intelligent deer, she makes her way to Washington, D.C.
Unfortunately, trouble follows Melanie wherever she goes, it seems, and the Christmas Ball would be no exception. Can our mermaid avoid trouble, heal a divide between her and her BFF and successfully dance with a deer? She might possibly handle one of them, but certainly not all three.

- Mermaid Rising: Mermaid Adventures, #1
1
It was the quiet after the storm. I sat up in bed - what had awakened me? I tried to sit still to listen, but my heart was pounding. Throwing off the covers I turned to look out at the rising moon shining brilliantly through the departing storm clouds, its silver lighting up my room. Goosebumps rose on my arms and I tried to rub them down. At the gym pool, I peered down from the diving board, watching as the rising moon cast its light upon the water. Moonlight trailed into the water and bubbles began to rise from the bottom, the pool thrilling to the moonlight as its water called to me. Caught up in the moonlight’s song, I dove in an arc into the still waters, shattering the moon’s reflection. Blissful waters greeted me, calling to me as one of its own. It was a thrilling experience as instead of the expected pool bottom, a sparkling undersea vista welcomed me.

To teach another to be a mermaid takes magic and lots of water! Melanie’s plan is first to learn what it takes to be a mermaid, so she can teach Ri’Anne, all while doing research dives for her uncle. However, Ri’Anne is a fairy at heart, and while she wants to please Melanie, trouble can result when fairy meets water. Will Ri’Anne choose to be a mermaid and fulfill her lifelong dream, or follow her heart and become a fairy and fly free? Can Melanie still fulfill her quest for a mermaid tail?
