Book 1: The Mermaid’s Apprentice
Mabel Sinclair never planned to become a pirate.
All she wanted was to escape her dull life as a debutante and conquer the world of fashion. One fateful night at a ballroom ends when Mabel’s foolish brother is kidnapped and transformed into a toad. To save him, Mabel makes a bargain with a mermaid and travels with her to an unexpected realm of magic. Once there, Mabel must choose between being imprisoned by cruel merfolk or joining pirates.
Antonio Cortez never planned to fall in love with a pirate.
A sailor who dreams of returning to his quiet life as a tailor, Antonio’s plans are knocked off course by a chance meeting with the dashing pirate Mabel Sinclair. Antonio bonds with Mabel over their love of fashion, only to become a target for Mabel’s growing list of enemies.
Fighting for their lives and their future, Mabel and Antonio find they have only one ally to turn to: the treacherous mermaid who Mabel bargained with in the first place.
The Mermaid’s Apprentice is part of The Pippington Tales series and the first book of The Pirate and the Mermaid’s Tailor trilogy, an epic tale of pirates, mermaids, and adventures in high fashion.

Book 2: The Tailor’s Escape
Trouble comes when you marry a pirate.
Antonio Cortez knew he would gain enemies by marrying Mabel Sinclair, a reformed pirate with a growing fashion empire. As devious mermaids and Madame Blue’s magic crime syndicate seek to ensnare the young couple, Antonio is called back to the Castallan Navy.
While at sea, he is betrayed and captured by merfolk and then forced to become The High Witch’s personal tailor. Antonio must use his intelligence, excellent dancing, and skill with thread to weave his way home, while Mabel must return to her pirating past to protect him. However, Antonio’s freedom risks a far steeper price than he dares pay: losing his Mabel forever.
The Tailor’s Escape is part of The Pippington Tales series and the second book of The Pirate and the Mermaid’s Tailor trilogy, an epic tale of pirates, mermaids, and adventures in high fashion.

Hi!
I bought this book from you at Dallas Fan Expo this past July. I finished it today and loved it, cheers all around! I was wondering what your plans and for the second book, The Tailor’s Escape, are and when it might be published and released, I’m hoping soon. Thank you so much for introducing your work to me, can’t wait to read more!

I’m so glad you enjoyed the book! I just got Beta reading feedback on The Tailor’s Escape and am getting it ready for the editor. I’m hoping to have it out early next year, but my publishing schedule always depends on life adventures.
If you haven’t already, a review on Amazon or Goodreads for the book would be greatly appreciated!
