Merworld Edits Coming Soon!

My editor, Kim of T.M.P., has sent me word she would be reviewing Beul Nam Beinn this week. It makes me anxious but also hopeful. I would like to see this project come to its completion. It has been a long journey. Of course I am also hoping to see the website Merworld.com up and running soon. It is all pretty exciting and lends much to the imagination. Wouldn't it be great to have a successful and marketable creation!

I'll plan to shift a bunch with blog content once the book is finalized along with the website. I'd like the concept of Merworld to take hold and benefit from group input. We've all got imaginations and we might as well use them.

Not at all related but important is my most recent publication. The medical journal Explore! has just published my article/ theory related to Morgellons Disease. Sometimes it feels like I'm wearing way more hats than the typical couch surfer!

Swimming in the Cyberworld

Very shortly I'll be skyping with my friend Liz. She's a wiz at all things of the computer world. The next time this is viewed, I'm hoping it will be deep in the Merworld. It's amazing how all of this works, eh?!

Ancient Mer Images

I have been trying to figure out how I might make use of a site dedicated to all things of the sea. I'd like merworld.com to keep a certain degree of class with a sincere interest in better understanding the phenomena (whether real or fiction) of the Mer. In considering how this web site might appear, I came across an excellent source of ancient Mer images. Please take a look, I think you'll enjoy them. They are found at: http://www.isidore-of-seville.com/mermaids/13.html .

Any ideas or thoughts on Merworld.com are welcome!

Merworld and Being Near Water

I'm currently in New York City cat sitting for a friend. The apartment I'm at is about two blocks from the bay with a visible opening to the wide sea. The Statue of Liberty looks out on the waters with eagle eyes. I wonder what is underneath the waves. This wonder which has always been with me lends itself to good fiction.

I remember traveling in the Yucatan some seven years ago. I was with a friend, German, who wanted to swim in the local ceynote (a deep well like hole filled with crystal clear water and blind fish I'm told). Anyhow, as I swam across I got this terrifying feeling of what lay deep in the waters. It is freaky!

Deep waters are enough to get the mind imagining, but add to it murky and you've got a winner. So, as I look into the deep and murky waters off the coast of Manhattan I get anxious wondering if the drain was suddenly pulled on these waters...what would be seen?
