SEA WITCH HIGH Magically Mean Mermaids New YA Fantasy Book by Isabelle Hardesty

 

SEA WITCH HIGH Magically Mean Mermaids New YA Fantasy Book by Isabelle Hardesty

 

As my craziest year in high school unfolded, I learned a lot about mermaids and eventually, I would become one. But at the start of my senior year, I knew nothing about the supernatural Sea Witch world, just that they existed, and I was not one of them, not that I cared. I had too much going on in my life to worry about that stuff.

 

But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let me start from the beginning.

 

In my school, Sea Breeze High, I’m not one of those cheerleader types—no way. I’m more of a stay-at-home-and-read-a-book type. So, when Zayne, the cutest guy I’ve ever seen in real life, invited me to his party, I should have said no.

 

If I did, I would have avoided all the chaos and danger that followed. But if I did that, I wouldn’t have become who I am today.

The problem is, I had been playing it safe. But this year, I wanted to branch out and try new things, and that scared me worse than having to walk through a crowd of Sea Witches who had their gills out during an argument.

 

  1. Rule number one in Sea Witch High was mind your business.
  2. Rule number two was no fighting.

I’m sure there was a third rule, but since my dad was a supernatural and my mom was a regular, I knew how to keep a low profile. That’s why I stuck to my books and art.

 

I guess the best day to begin this story was that boring Wednesday at school. It was lunchtime and pouring rain outside. It was like any other day in Fort Pierce, hot and boring.

 

A teen girl embarks on an adventurous journey after uncovering hidden secrets at her high school, only to discover that the ocean holds its own perilous mysteries, including mermaids and shapeshifters.

Kobo 

Dive into a world where not all mermaids are friendly; some can be quite malevolent. Renny’s life takes a twist when she learns about her sea-bound heritage, navigating between the ocean’s beauty and the chaos of high school.

I don’t have my new schedule yet, but you can check out my 2023  schedule here.

My first year of attending was many years ago. It was so interesting! My husband and I went, and we both loved it. I discovered the Writers’ Track, and the rest is history! I loved being in those rooms taking notes, asking questions, and listening to authors share from their hearts. What magic!

I love being a fantasy author presenting at Dragon Con. It’s so fulfilling sharing my journey as a writer with other writers and readers.

Presenting at Dragon Con as a fantasy author is wonderful because I am able to answer questions and meet readers. I also love meeting other authors and people who want to write. It’s a great feeling!

The cosplay at Dragon Con is legendary. There is no way that I can leave that out. Dragon Con is known for its excellent, imaginative, and memorable cosplay!
