Since I happen to have been in Nicaragua for the past week and happen to have spied some mermaids, since everyone everywhere loves them some mermaids as we all well know, I thought I would generously share some with you.
Here is a very elegant mermaid avenue in Granada.
Here is a mermaidly bathroom sign on the ferry from Rivas to Ometepe.
And here is a painting on the side of a little schoolhouse where 200 children study in a tiny tiny village on Ometepe. Mermaids are very good at math.
The end.

ABOUT THIS BLOG
My name is CAROLYN TURGEON. I'm a well coiffed world famous authoress and wrote the novel MERMAID (which came out in March 2011, and might possibly be a movie), which makes me a mermaid expert. (My newest novel, THE FAIREST OF THEM ALL, which is about Rapunzel growing up to be Snow White's stepmother, came out in August 2013 from Simon & Schuster.) I also edit Faerie Magazine, and put together a whole MERMAID ISSUE that might change your life.
If you're a mermaid or have any secret mermaid knowledge to pass on (or just a photo or a story or a drawing your kid made), please email me at carolynturgeon at gmail dot com.
In the meantime, please remember: just because you're half a fish doesn't mean you have half a heart.
MINIATURE MERMAID POEM JOHN PATRICK SHANLEY WROTE FOR THIS BLOG
Beware the mermaid, she neither comes nor goes.
