Today is Black Friday, but forget the mall--there’s an underwater war going on!
As part of Karen Amanda Hooper’s release of TANGLED TIDES, she’s hosting a blogsplash fit for mermaids. But first you must pick a side. What floats your boat? Mermaids, sirens, selkies or gorgons?
I choose sirens—sun-loving, seductive singers who can control weather and are rebels. Oh, yeah. I can picture myself lounging in the sunshine, filling the air with beautiful music, painting the sky however I want it.
Of course, there’s the dicey part about stealing other people’s memories, but, hey, what a useful tool for a writer, right?

Here’s the link to Karen's blog where the fun is happening, including a book giveaway via Twitter contest.

Yara Jones doesn’t believe in sea monsters—until she becomes one.
When a hurricane hits her island home and she wakes up with fins, Yara finds herself tangled up in an underwater world of mysterious merfolk and secretive selkies. Both sides believe Yara can save them by fulfilling a broken promise and opening the sealed gateway to their realm, but they are battling over how it should be done. The selkies want to take her life. The merfolk want something far more precious.
Treygan, the stormy-eyed merman who turned Yara mer, will stop at nothing and sacrifice everything to protect his people—until he falls for Yara. The tides turn as Yara fights to save herself, hundreds of sea creatures, and the merman who has her heart. She could lose her soul in the process—or she might open the gateway to a love that’s deeper than the oceans.

So excited for Karen! And I think being a siren would be a pretty good deal too! :)
lol. LOVE your reasoning for choosing the sirens. :)
Thanks so much for celebrating with me. *hands you cake and a mimosa*
*hugs*
Ohhhh. Wakes up with fins. I love this!
Team Gorgon! Come on, Tricia, you know you love them... ;)
Congrats, Karen!
Jemi: Karen so deserves this! Join me in siren-ness. ;)
Karen: Mmmmm, mimosa. :) Hope you're having a fantastic day.
Donna; That would be a wake-up call, wouldn't it? :)
Tere: Okay, now, we're at war! I admit I was torn with the total kick-ass attitude of gorgons and I do love to dance, but I'm gonna sit on my rock in the sun and sing!
Team Siren! Wooooo! I love your reason too. Makes mine look slightly lame, but I'll stick by it. ^.~
Side note: My verification word is "damuse." Kind of appropriate, don't you think? =D
It's interesting to see which creatures people choose. :)
Me, I have to side with gorgons . . .
Dragon: Hi, there! I love damuse, that's the best. :D
Eagle: I had to fight off gorgon urges. I'm sticking with sirens!
Yay sirens! I chose them, too. Good luck to Karen!
Thanks again for celebrating with me! And thanks for hugging your plush whale. That was so cute!
I'll be announcing the results of the war soon. :)
Read a sneak peek of TANGLED TIDES on Amazon
Yay, Talli!
Karen: I hope you had a fantastic day. My whale and I are still squealing for you. :D:D:D
Yay Karen!! What a great idea for a story!
Love the cover!
Shelley
For me, it'd be a tie between sirens and mermaids. Her book looks great!
i like the sirens too. yes i do:)
Shelley: Karen has a great story about the cover and how the publisher gave her lots of input. It turned out so pretty.
Lydia: As you know, I have a thing for mermaids, too, but I couldn't resist Karen's siren description.
Ed; So hard to resist those sirens!
I love seeing everyone's choices, and the reasons why. So happy for Karen! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, too!

I almost chose Sirens, but just had to go with Merfolk after reading Karen's story. Yay for Karen!
Angela and Alison: Hi, so glad you joined in the fun! :D
Congrats to Karen!
I picked Merfolk, but my second choice were Sirens.
