After giving up her tail for an international banker, Isabella of the Mediterranean kingdom is aged beyond recognition. The horrified banker abandons her on the fog-drenched shores of southwest England, leaving her to face a difficult human journey as a plain and practically destitute fifty-three-year-old woman.
With the help of a magic tablet and online mermaid support, Isabella evolves into the persona of Barbara Davies. Along the way, she encounters a cast of unforgettable characters, among them former mermaids, supportive and not-so-supportive women, deserving and undeserving men, and several New Agers.
A little about Joaanne Guidoccio . . .
In high school, I dabbled in poetry, but decided to wait until I had more life experiences before writing a novel. The original plan was to get a general arts degree and take a few years off to travel and write. Instead, I gave in to my practical Italian side and obtained degrees in mathematics and education.
While I experienced many satisfying moments during my teaching career, I never found the time and energy to write. In 2008, I took advantage of early retirement. Slowly, a writing practice emerged, and my articles and book reviews started appearing in newspapers, magazines and online.
My debut novel, Between Land and Sea, a paranormal romance about a middle-aged mermaid, was released by Soul Mate Publishing on September 17, 2013.
I live and write in Guelph, Ontario.

Thanks for featuring me on your blog, Lisa 🙂
Great interview. I love the idea of a life in transition. I’m at the point where, for now, everything is very steady–I have another 20 years until I can retire. But I look forward to change! I can’t wait to see what comes next!
You have a wonderful attitude toward change and that will definitely help with any transitions. Thanks for dropping by, Meggan 🙂
I read Joanne’s book and am anxiously waiting for the next installment. I highly recommend this as a book that has a little bit of everything for everyone –
Thanks for your support, Jessica. Much appreciated 🙂
I haven’t had the chance to read her book, but it sound exciting.
Thanks for dropping by, Ronelda 🙂
Thanks Joanne for guest blogging!
