"When Mermaids Sing" - A New Novel by Mark Zvonkovic Makes a Splash!

"When Mermaids Sing" is an impressive debut for first time novelist Mark Zvonkovic. Set in 1973, "Mermaids" is a compelling story about Larry Brown, a young English teacher uncertain about his career, his beliefs and his future. The protagonist, struggling to make sense of his place in the world around him, is at times self-absorbed but remains a faithful friend and upon discovering that his cousin, Bradley, has become involved in a cult undertakes an attempt to extract him from the ashram. Larry's endeavor may be far from ordinary, and "Mermaids" is compelling for the very reason that amidst an unimaginable ordeal, the author has rendered a character to whom we can relate, and in whom we recognize our own desires, attitudes and questions.

"When Mermaids Sing" was published by iUniverse, Inc. in September 2009, and is available in Hardcover, Paperback, and E-book.
