Our Mermaids In The Media this week features our literary gal pal, Mary Kay Andrews! MKA’s latest, Spring Fever, is #5 with a bullet! No, MKA didn’t do in one of her male leads, but her latest book is #5 on the New York Times Best Sellers List and it’s so hot it’s set off a Spring Fever epidemic!
MKA has been crisscrossing the country on her book tour, but I just had to reach out to her when I spied this mention in the June issue of Deep South Magazine. The article detailed different beaches that had inspired famous writers. The article talked about Tennessee Williams and Key West, Pat Conroy and Daufuskie Island, Edgar Allen Poe and Sullivan Island and others. Then, lo and behold, out popped this, “Newer on the Southern literary scene but making just as big a splash with her classic beach reads is Mary Kay Andrews. The best-selling author lives part of the time on Tybee Islandand has featured the island and the Georgia coast in several of her books, like “Savannah Breeze.” Andrews’ Tybee beach cottage, The Breeze Inn, is available for rent.”
Then, I logged onto Facebook and up popped photos of MKA at various book signings. Check her out! She was wearing this very chic, little …
Remember a couple of weeks ago, when we mentioned mermen being few and far between as far as sightings go? Well, color us wrong! Mary Kay Andrews has done it again! Just look at this sighting…
How fabulous is that! Neptune? Triton? Whether you prefer your ocean gods Roman, Greek or otherwise just doesn’t matter…he’s magnificent! Thanks so much for sharing Mary Kay! He’s fabulous!
Have you spotted a mermaid? Well, we’d love to hear about it! Send your sightings and stories to diane@mermaidcottages.com. Your sighting could be the next featured right here on our blog! We can’t wait to see what you’ve found!
We had an incredible turn out last Saturday for our Paws4Vets fundraiser! If you didn’t make it, you missed a lot of fun and friendship! Saturday, January 28th, Seaside Sisters on Tybee Island totally “went to the dogs!” We gathered there to help raise money to support Paws4Vets and to help fund the training of one very special puppy. Jimmy, an 8-week old Golden Retriever puppy named after our beloved Jimmy Kelleher of Seaside Sweets, will be trained by the wonderful people at Paws4Vets to be a service dog; he will go on to be the companion of a soldier right here in the Savannah area.
Through the Paws4Vets Assistance Dog Placement Program, our Veterans and Active-Duty Service Members (or their dependents) with physical, neurological, psychiatric, or emotional disabilities can receive Psychiatric Service Dogs, Mobility Service Dogs, and Rehabilitative Assistance Dogs free of charge. All Paws4Vets Assistance Dogs are trained by federal inmates within one of five federal prisons and/or the Paws4Vets Wounded Warrior PTSD Intervention and Assistance Dog Training Program. It’s a wonderful thing, and Mermaid Cottages is proud to sponsor such a great cause!
Saturday was certainly amazing! Paws4Vets founders Kyria Henry and her veteran father, Terry Henry, other service dogs from Paws4People, and soldiers from Ft Stewart and the surrounding area with service dogs came out to celebrate and help in the effort! Mary Kay Andrews was there as well with a fresh haul of wonderful vintage lovelies in tow, and pen in hand, ready to sign books for fans. There was an amazing silent auction full of treasures on which to bid, which included, among other things, a signed copy of Paula Deen’s Southern Cooking Bible! Mermaid Cottages was there with our Beach Bum Biscuits and tee shirts. The proceeds from the sales of those items, as well as 10% of each purchase made in Seaside Sisters that day, went to the fundraising cause! And, to top it all off, there was a bake sale to end all bake sales. It was a wonderful day!
We were also honored to see GiftShopMag.com and SavannahNow.com feature our fundraiser on their sites! Make sure to head over and read the posts. We are so excited about them!
In all, the fundraising efforts raised $1000 to help Paws4Vets! Thanks to everyone for coming out to Seaside Sisters and supporting this great cause! We couldn’t have done it without you!
Mermaid Cottages loves seeing mermaid sightings from anywhere and everywhere! We love them all…but we do notice one thing. Most of our sightings tend to me female. Now, there’s nothing wrong with that (mermaids are gorgeous!), but when we get the chance to see a merMAN, well, we get super excited about that!
Mermen tend to be even more elusive than their lovely maiden counterparts, so when we received this sighting, we knew we were in for a treat! First off, our favorite author, Mary Kay Andrews, sent in the sighting! Second? Well, she spotted an elusive merman!!!
Sighting of an elusive merman, from Mary Kay Andrews!
He looks ready to party, too, doesn’t he? Martini anyone? How dapper! Thanks so much for sharing, Mary Kay. It’s been a while since we’ve seen a merman, and you certainly found a good looking fellow!
Have you seen a mermaid or merman? They are everywhere, if you know where to look! If you have a sighting you’d like to share, please send it to us at diane@mermaidcottages.com. Then, keep an eye out, your sighting might be the nest featured right here on our blog!
Join us for Southern Chick Lit and Cheerwine!
