No Such Thing as Mermaids

Jack Gilmour just wanted to disappear. A former tech multimillionaire who lost it all to corporate trolls, he’s spent the last year in Rockamok Valley, Oregon, fixing laptops and avoiding people. He’s a man of logic, math, and cold hard data. But when he sees a humanoid figure with a tail dive into the Pacific, his structured world begins to fray at the edges. The locals say it’s a seal, the law says he’s imagining things, but the "witch" at the local tavern says he’s finally starting to see the truth.

What begins as a quirky coastal mystery quickly spirals into a fight for survival. When a beautiful property lawyer vanishes and a massive corporate takeover threatens the town, Jack finds himself caught between the high-tech world he fled and a ancient, magical reality he can no longer deny. His logical mind says the "merfolk" are a myth, but when his "friends" turn into murderers and throw him into a deadly riptide, Jack’s only hope for survival lies in the hands of creatures that shouldn't exist.

No Such Thing as Mermaids is a genre-bending tale of romance, conspiracy, and "digital magic." It follows a cynical hero’s journey from the safety of a computer screen to the dangerous, beautiful depths of the unknown. Perfect for readers who love the quirky atmosphere of Northern Exposure, the urban fantasy of American Gods, and a protagonist who discovers that the most powerful code in the universe isn't binary—it’s magic.
