Mermaid - A Dream Made Real is a 150 page picture book featuring professional Mermaid Aura Stiers, 'The Swashbuckling Mermaid,' based out of Poulsbo, WA. The book really showcases the epic beauty of Washington State.
Mermaid Aura is also nicknamed The Swashbuckling Mermaid as she is a SCA Rapier fighter who enjoys a good melee every now and then.
This stunning 150 page collection showcases over 500 separate photographs via 20 separate photoshoots at 20 separate geographical locations around Western Washington. The book also features a plethora of poems and short stories written personally by Mermaid Aura. The project itself took 3 years to complete (2018 - 2021) and was produced jointly by Cyrus Rhodes, who took the majority of the photographs and co-produced by Mermaid Aura. In a recent interview, Mermaid Aura cited the recent COVID 19 epidemic was a major inspiration that led her out of the house to explore the scenic beauty of Western Washington.
