Octopus Vs. Shark

29 January, 2014 by ES Ivy

A young reader got to wondering about who would win in a fight, a shark or a puma? I did tons of research on sharks for the Miri Attwater series, but I don’t remember coming across that particular information. But I can’t resist a good research topic.

Book 2, Miri Attwater and All that Glitters

21 January, 2014 by ES Ivy

Book 2 in the Miri Attwater series, Miri Attwater and All That Glitters is now out! Buy it on Amazon!

(Confetti and streamers compliments of my TechBoy! Aren’t they great? I would have added some cheering and clapping but it’s just annoying when you click on a website and your speakers start blaring. So, you’re welcome.)

As if finding out she’s a mermaid isn’t shocking enough, now Miri has to spend her summer at the bottom of the ocean!

Slimy pets, weird and salty food,…

Miri doesn’t think she’ll ever get used to any of it.

But the mermaid city of Kai Kaona is so beautiful, she’s made some special friends, and she’s surprisingly good at hulikela, a type of underwater dancing. Then, just as she decides things aren’t too bad after all, the coronation crown is stolen. Is she going to be stuck at the bottom of the ocean forever?

Find out how Miri copes with living at the bottom of the ocean and see what adventures she gets into. Check it out on Amazon.

And I’ve got lots in store for this blog the rest of the week, so stop back by!

UPDATE: The first review of Miri Attwater and All That Glitters is out at Books, Babies and Bows! I’ll do a dedicated post later, but go ahead and check it out. 🙂

It’s been a while since I made a new post, I know!

And have you signed up for my Newsletter? Because I’ve definitely made good on my promise not to fill up your inbox. 🙂 I’ve sent exactly, um, zero newsletters so far.

It’s not that I don’t love my Newsletter subscribers! In fact there will be special offers soon, I promise. It’s just that it’s another thing with a learning curve. I spent a lot of time figuring out how to set up a sign up list. But how, exactly, do I send out a newsletter in the correct form? That’s something I’ve got to figure out, and for now I’ve been trying to focus all my time on…

Completing Book 2!…

Title Reveal for the continuation of Miri Attwater’s Adventures, Miri Attwater and All that Glitters

Gold nugget

Book 2 has a title!

Miri Attwater

and

All that Glitters

So what glitters? Is all that glitters gold?

Gold is a pure element, which means all the atoms in a nugget of gold are the same. Chemists abbreviate gold with its chemical symbol Au. In it’s pure form before it’s been polished, gold doesn’t really glitter. In fact, it’s kind of dull.

Pyrite

Pyrite, though, glitters a lot! Pyrite is sometimes even found in the same types of formations as gold. It’s shiny appearance has given it the nickname “fool’s gold.”

But pyrite isn’t gold at all! It is only iron and sulfur combined together to form a compound called iron sulfide. Chemists write its name FeS_{2 .}

_{It is sure has fooled a lot of hopeful gold diggers!}
