About the author
Smokey Moment
125 books74 followersIt all started one day in March of 2018. I was bored. There was nothing to watch on television. And the moment of silence prompted a memory. A flashback to a time I wrote movies in a notebook. Small scenes jotted down for no particular reason. Something compelled me to make a move. I jumped up and ran to my computer, anxious to tell a story of which I could see clearly. The scenes of my cleverly crafted idea so wildly vivid. A face. A name. And twisted plots that would rival any movie.
I began typing. The keystrokes were fervent. Soon one sentence gave way to twenty. One hundred words grew to seventeen thousand. And before I knew it, I had a short story. Proof that anything is possible. So, you might ask if I always wanted to be a writer? Was it somewhere in the back of my mind? No! It wasn’t. But I knew I was creative. And I knew I could tell a story. The rest is history. Now I can say I wrote a book that became a best seller. Downloaded for many book lovers to read and enjoy. And the journey is still fresh. There is so much more to write. I am just getting started!

A completely unexpected experience that I enjoyed this author's work with this one pleasantly surprise

This story isn’t just about mermaids well Merpeople. The FMC a beautiful Queen named Finora(Fin) longs to live a normal life. The World was an incredible underwater kingdom on the brink of war. With some mystery and political drama. A love story that blurred the lines between a fairy tale and real life. A toxic King who became obsessive after denial. The twists were definitely twisting. I’m keeping this review spoiler free because you deserve to experience the magic yourself.

It was slow for me, but I like mermaids.
