For our first character takeover in honor of Mermaid for Danger, releasing on Friday, who better to hear from than Taiwo? A genderfluid merperson from the Afolayan clan, Taiwo is here to share some wonderful news about a wedding. Enjoy! –Elle

Hi everyone! Well, I don’t have long, you know, because we’re all so busy getting ready for the wedding–Rei’s and my wedding, I mean. Have you ever been to a merfolk wedding before? They’re the best! The celebrations go on for days. As my mom likes to say, we like to savor our weddings!

I’m especially excited because my friend Red is coming all the way to Seaside to take part in the party, too. I haven’t seen her in ages–not since we investigated the mystery of that gross slime monster together (it was all over the news; maybe Elle will share those old articles with you?). Of course, we’ve been writing letters ever since she settled in Belville, but she never writes any actually juicy gossip. I’m worried she has her head stuck in her lab and she never even thinks about romance these days . . .

. . . But we’ll see if we can fix that, won’t we? 😉 You are coming to the wedding, aren’t you? We’d love to have you! Here’s an invitation!

See you there! 😀

That’s it from our titular merperson! I suppose now I’m on the hook for sharing a slime monster story with newsletter subscribers (thanks, Taiwo). And in the meantime, Mermaid for Danger is already up for preorder on some sites! You can find it at this link: https://books2read.com/mermaid-for-danger.
