Step into the warm, enchanting Gullah Geechee Sea Island waters of the magical coral reef city of Geechmobo for the debut of this cozy Afro mermaid fantasy series that celebrates Soulaan heritage, Afrofuturism, and sacred West African sea deities.

Deep beneath the Atlantic waters off the coast of the Lowcountry, you won't find traditional mermaids. Meet the Mersa: oceanic beings who carry the land-walking heritage of Southern Black Americans and the divine lineage of revered water spirits like Olokun, Yemọja, and Mami Wata. In Geechmobo, creativity is everyday life—every Mersa belongs to an artistic clan whose craft fuels the economy, guides the tides, and nurtures the harvest.

Across eight interconnected, cozy slice-of-life tales, the everyday currents of the reef bring humor, heart, and relatable drama. A brilliant inventor must summon the courage to set firm financial boundaries with her demanding family over holiday dinner expenses. A tender romance is tested when a sudden transit collision turns devotion into a brave leap of faith. From ambitious chefs clashing in a high-pressure kitchen before uncovering an undeniable sisterly bond, to an artist learning to balance a practical day job with her ancestral calling to dance, these stories explore the beauty, humor, and vulnerability of the deep. Whether it's navigating workplace politics, untangling missed communication on an anniversary date, or enjoying platters of Plungin’ John and flaky Swamp Mape pastries, the reef is full of everyday magic.

Filled with rich Lowcountry flavors, ancestral technology, sweet romance, and genuine Black joy, A Gullah Geechee Mermaid Anthology: Welcome to the Geechmobo Reef is a comforting, refreshing plunge into an unforgettable world.

Includes the exclusive bonus story "Symone’s Secret Swim" and a sneak peek of the upcoming prequel, "The Wakening of the Wata."Grab your copy today, relax into the current, and experience the cozy magic of the reef!
