Since retiring from teaching in 2008, Joanne Guidoccio has focused exclusively on writing.

She has never intended to write fantasy, but was inspired by a series of workshops facilitated by science fiction writer Sarah Totton at the Guelph Public Library.

Driving home one evening, Guidoccio’ imagined the following scenario ... A mermaid gives up her tail for an international banker and is aged beyond recognition. Horrified, the banker abandons her on the fog-drenched shores of southwest England, leaving her with only a suitcase and a magic tablet. Can the ex-mermaid embrace her new body and heal her bruised heart?

Discover the solution in Guidoccio’s debut novel, Between Land And Sea. The e-book, released by Soul Mate Publishing, is available on Amazon.

Guidoccio taught mathematics, computer science and co-operative education at St. James Catholic High School from 1988 to 2008.
