Summer reissue: Megan Dunn’s mer-moir, The Mermaid Chronicles, is an immersive, moving and funny search for the meaning of mermaids and the anchors of interests and family in the ebb and flow of life. The Spinoff needs to double the number of paying members we have to continue telling these kinds of stories. Please read our open letter and sign up to be a member today.

Now 48, Megan Dunn is still paying off the huge student loan she first took out when she was 17. This is her story. Student Loans are going to call me back in 18 to 27 minutes.

We have an avocado tree in our back yard. The tree is a bit of a local myth.
