D. M. George always wanted to be a mermaid, one of those wily beauties who can lure a sailor to his destruction while polishing off a conch of caviar. But by the time she had college, motherhood, and an advertising career under her belt, her saltwater fantasies had evaporated into the ennui many women experience in midlife.

D.M. George lives in San Jose, California, with her merman and two grand-dogs.
