HARPER COLLINS AUSTRALIA is giving away 10 copies of my upcoming rural romance.
Quick snapshot
of Fish Out of Water:
A mermaid from
a secret underwater kingdom. Living
incognito in a small, dry frontier town.
Working as a cop; dating a solider-of-fortune (on and off); counting
the days til her thirtieth birthday when time runs out (a clairvoyant told
her 30 is the end of the road unless she can “change the course of destiny
and save the world entire”). Enter a
mysterious dead blonde on Main Street.
A visit home to the deep sea for the first time in thirteen years. A
smokin’ hot merman with secrets of his own.
And a ten thousand year old prophesy that seems to have her name
written all over it.

Mermaids don’t wear nicotine patches. They don’t drink Southern Comfort from a
hip flask, inhale twinkies or watch Dr Phil.
Mermaids don’t pack heat. And
mermaids definitely don’t get their hearts broken by tattooed guys who look
like pirates. In fact, mermaids have
always been kinda down on pirates... but that’s another story. The cardinal rule is this: mermaids don’t
live in bone-dry frontier towns. Ever.
But here’s the thing. Me, I don’t leave home without my patches,
hip flask and Glock. My last moment of
true moderation was back in kindergarten, when I stopped myself from using my
awesome strength to rip Jamie Kennedy’s pecker off when he waved it at Julie
Casey in the bathroom and made her cry.
And don’t even start me on my penchant for pirates.
But I am, in fact, a mermaid. So go figure.
Well, technically, Mom’s folks call themselves
Aegirans, and they don’t sprout tails, but they’re the closest thing to
mermaids under the sea. And, as much
as it used to hurt, I’m what they call a dirt-dweller, seeing as Mom was a
runaway, Dad’s Sicilian and we live on The Land.
But not for long.
You see, I’ve only got three weeks to live. Give or take.

Fish out of Water
Dirtwater's straight-talking Deputy Sheriff has a lot on her plate: a nicotine addiction that's a serious liability for a mermaid, a solider-of-fortune ex who's hooked on her Mom's brownies, a gorgeous, naked stranger in her shower, and a mysterious dead blonde with a fish tattoo on Main Street.
Oh, and one other thing.
She's scheduled to die on her thirtieth birthday - in
three weeks - unless she can 'change the course of destiny and save the world
entire'. Throw in a Mom who's the local Mayor and a Dad who's been locked in
the county jail for twelve years, and that's all the trouble she needs
without her mermaid roots coming back to haunt her.
