The Magnificent Old Mermaids Book Drop


Charles de Lint took a few copies of Church of the Old Mermaid to Tucson recently to participate in the Magnificent Old Mermaids Book Drop. He was kind enough to send along some photos. The first one is on 4th Avenue, where Myla set up Church of the Old Mermaids every Saturday "shine or shine." Just gives me chills! By the way, Charles' latest book, The Mystery of Grace, is now out. I've got mine on order and I can't wait.

Thanks, Charles & MaryAnn!

I LOVE this way of spreading the Old Mermaids' wisdom! Back in February, I left one of my artist friends post cards on the B.C. ferry, and I felt like I was doing something magical.

Hello!

I'm at the beginning of chapter 5 and love the stories and the wisdom.

Myla's habit of thanking the items, ingredients, places, and people reminds me of Celtic Christianity and of acknowledging the gifts and contributions of all.

Thank you!!
