Splash into Summer 2013 Round-Up

Check out the Splash into Summer Main Pages at 
A Backwards Story, and Mermaid Vision Books 
where you can access the schedule!
You can also go here to get involved!

Everyone, thank you SO MUCH for participating in Splash into Summer.  I had so much fun and hope you did, too.

There's a lot more to come, too! I didn't have chance to review TIDES by Betsy Cornwell, ASHES ON THE WAVES by Mary Lindsey, and THE SAVAGE BLUE by Zoraida Córdova or feature the authors. I think there may have also been one author post that was missed, but I need to double-check that. I run a weekly feature entitled "A Twist in the Tail" that features mermaids, fairy tales, mythology, etc., so check back on Thursdays for some more splashy fun!

Here's a wrap-up of everything Angel from Mermaid Vision Books and I did during Splash '13!

Giveaways continue to run, so don't forget to enter!
