Ocean-loving Kyra Goodwin had to give up her dream of becoming the female
Jacques Cousteau in order to take care of her father and brother, but being a
mermaid at the Cape Cod Aquarium is pretty fintastic as far as
alternative careers go.
Jacques Cousteau in order to take care of her father and brother, but being a
mermaid at the Cape Cod Aquarium is pretty fintastic as far as
alternative careers go.
Of course, life as a half-fish/half-woman isn’t all sunken treasure and Arieltwirls. Kyra has to deal with perpetually pruney fingers, eyes irritated by
saltwater, and bratty kids on the daily, plus her glam alter ego can make
dating really weird. (So many men have pervy siren-of-the-sea fantasies!) When
she meets hunky surfer Cade, and he’s into her without knowing what she does
for a living, Kyra thinks she’s finally won the romance lottery.
Unfortunately, Kyra’s plans for a carefree summer of catching waves with her new
boyfriend run aground when Sea Star Beach, a place that holds great sentimental
value for her, is taken over by a big-city developer who wants to build an
exclusive resort. Kyra’s crusade to save her beloved beach threatens both her
job and her relationship with Cade as does her growing closeness with her
irresistibly broody merwrangler, Declan, whose precocious daughter is intent on
playing matchmaker.

When a new family drama arises just as Kyra receives an offer that would turn
her greatest desire into reality, she’s torn. Will she do what’s expected of
her, or dive in and follow her heart?

AUTHOR BIO:
An avid reader and writer, Tracie Banister has been scribbling stories sinceshe was a child, most of them featuring feisty heroines with complicated love
lives like her favorite fictional protagonist Scarlett O’Hara. Her work was
first seen on the stage of her elementary school, where her 4th
grade class performed an original holiday play she penned. (Like all good
divas-in-the-making, she also starred in and tried to direct the production.)
Tracie’s dreams of authorial success were put on the
backburner when she reached adulthood and discovered that she needed a
“real” job in order to pay her bills. Her career as personal
assistant to a local entrepreneur lasted for 12 years. When it ended, she
decided to follow her bliss and dedicate herself to writing full-time. She is
the proud winner of the 2017 Independent Press Award (Romantic Comedy) and a
Bronze Medal in the 2017 Readers’ Favorite Awards (Chick Lit).

In the
Swim of Things is
Tracie’s sixth novel and thanks to this book, she can now check another
occupation off her fantasy list. She has no doubt that writing about a mermaid
is much easier than actually being one!
