Among the Other Mermaids. It was exactly at this time that Teresa got serious. It was exactly at this time that Teresa got serious and wrote a funny book about growing up as an immigrant in a very white Anglo-Saxon neighbourhood. The book was work-shopped endlessly, term after term, year after year, in Peter Carver's Writing for Children class, until the Universe cried Enough! A book that terrified her so hopefully it will terrify her readers as well. Being a writer is almost as good as being a mermaid.

The Unlikely Hero of Room 13B. Me and The Blondes. Dani Webster had played The Game with her sister, Kelly, for as long as she could remember, but now it is a hazy memory as Dani looks up from the floor of the isolation room at Riverwood Clinic. She remembers the vodka and pills. It is absorbing and wonderful.
