Mable arrives in Salt Lake City sure there won't be a mermaid for 100 miles. She soon learns that even a desert can harbor fantastic sea creatures. She teams up with Dr. Densley, another naiadologist to make the discovery of a lifetime. But, will all their hard work be ruined when Mable's brother Martin arrives in town?

In 2019 I wanted to create a new sketchbook for #mermay. #Mermay is an Instagram event created by Tom Bancroft where artists draw mermaids throughout May and post them using the hashtag. The year before I'd made my #mermay story up as I went but this year I wanted to create a story in advance. One that felt complete with a beginning, middle, and end where the main character goes on a journey. The story is about 5000 words and completing the illustrations for it took longer than expected. But my new friends and followers on Instagram were very supportive and I finished it by September. It's another self-published sketchbook and a companion to Mermendium.
