Hi everyone! I decided to join the Six Sentence Sunday (SSS) game – every author participating can post 6 sentences from a published or as yet unpublished work. The idea is to get to know many authors and stories and have fun. ๐
So for my first post in SSS I will give you a snippet from my short story “Merman’s Tail” which has appeared in the Ravenous Romance anthology Bedknobs and Beanstalks: An anthology of m/m Fairy Tales, edited by EM Lynley.
The merman rose through the surface of the lake and dropped Karanโs lost oars back inside the boat. A crest of light blue hair rose on his head, and longer strands floated around him and molded on his shoulders. Almond-shaped eyes of the darkest green stared at Karan, unblinking. Soft-looking lips pursed.
Karan stared back, entranced. He had never seen such a beautiful creature.
Read about my fascination with mermen and mermaids but also of the thoughts of other authors’ in the anthology here (scroll down for my post)
And read other great authors’ posts and excerpts here.
Have fun! ๐
You’ve brought the most beautiful creature alive right in front of me. I feel like I’m right in that boat with Karan, and yep, I’m drooling. Well done.
Yay! for mermen! I love the blue hair and the way you weave it into the description. Very hot! And wet!
Beautiful description, I can see the merman very clearly. Welcome to the group!
Beautiful description. Welcome to Six Sentence Sunday!
Ooh, yummy! ๐
I love the sensuality depicted her. Great job and welcome to SSS! ๐

Welcome to SSS! Lovely writing.
Welcome to Six Sentence Sunday! Great start. Your description of the merman is entrancing. I’m totally with Karan on that! And love the way he drops the lost oars into the boat.
Wow, he sounds really beautiful. Great description!
Wow..what a cool scene. Love the ‘look’ of the creature. Thanks for sharing.
Best,

terrific description
Whoa! Any hope to find it NOT for Kindle? I don’t own a Kindle yet, sniff… will have to put it on the ToBuy list…
I don’t own a Kindle yet either, sniff! But you can buy it in many formats, including pdf, rtf and even in print. ๐
where? Not on Amazon… I’d avoid the print version, takes soo long to get to me! ๐ฆ Is it on Smashwords as well?
Thank you all for the wonderful comments! So glad you liked this.
Have yet to read any tales of mermaids…Fascinating. I’ll have to pick up the anthology! Thanks for the snippet!
