The Mermaid Brigade and the Author
Venus Underwater was inspired by the Mermaid Brigade, a team of healers, therapists, teachers, artists and thinkers who are concerned about the inner life of our young people and want them to remember the magic of life.
We were able to raise funds for the first two books thanks to Kickstarter. For more information on the Mermaid Brigade, check out our Kickstarter page at this link:

Passionate about psychology, spirituality and media literacy, she holds an undergraduate degree in Media Studies from UC Berkeley, a Masters degree in Counseling Psychology, and an imaginary degree from the University of Puns.
