Paperback: Hidden Mermaids
I’m J.C. Harris, the author behind these stories. In 2025, I was shortlisted for the Scarlet Stiletto Awards, where I won the Body in the Library category. I was also awarded the 2025 Varuna Roderick Fellowship.
Three sisters. One lighthouse. A secret the world can’t ever see.
Celeste, Harper and Isla used to belong to the ocean — until it turned against them. Now they live on land under the Professor’s protection, hiding their mermaid nature behind human faces and careful rules.
But when Celeste starts a tiny skincare business using ocean knowledge she shouldn’t have, everything unravels fast.
Strange messages.
Leaked footage.
Threats that feel like someone is watching way too closely.
Someone out there knows what they are
Someone who wants to expose them.
And the sisters are running out of safe places to hide.
