Here are a few comments I received via e-mail.

I love that we get to hear the author reading, and I'd like to hear much more from the underwater mermaids. Very southern. Very visual altogether.
That stepson is your constant companion!

I really enjoyed your story Mermaid. Kind of a nice friendly low-key romance, with an exotic touch from the swimming/mermaid connection. Nicely done.
--Steph Silverston

Thanks to Dolma and Steph for sending me their comments and encouragement. And thanks to you, Sarah, for all your support and for being the first brave one to post a comment!

Dear Nolcha,

I enjoyed hearing you read your story. I love the story. It moves well, there are no dead spots. There is humor and wit. I like you as a reader also.

Good work! Let's hear more!
