## Author

The original author of the story is **Debra**. Her welcoming message for readers of the book is:

> *Hi, Welcome to the world of Mermaids and The Vampires Who Love Them — a story of true love between a plucky mermaid and an attractive, yet annoying vampire. It is a literal fish out of water tale and contains plenty of magic, comedy, evil villains, and some epic kissing! I live in a magical redwood forest in California where my closest neighbors include chickens, cows, owls, and the occasional llama. So far I haven't found any mermaids living in my pond. But you never know!*
