LITTLE KNOWN MERMAID FACTS #1-5

In writing THE OCEAN FLOOR, I actually became quite the expert on little known mermaid facts.

The first five things I was surprised to learn:

1). Mermaid scales are incredibly ticklish.

2). A mermaid's laughter sounds like wind chimes.

3). A mermaid's hair looks like silk ribbons up-close.

4). Mermaids dance.

5). Mermaids are especially happy to be included in novels.
