My name? I have two names that I go by, whereas most people only have one. To those who dont know me, Im Annabelle Donley, the average, every-day, troublemaking teenage girl. I skip school, pull pranks, have amazing friends, and I never do anything that is bad on a serious level. Then there is my other name, the name that people scream as I walk into the underground rings, the name that became me when my world was destroyed, when people who should have been there to love me left without a backwards glance, when I watched my mother get ripped out of my life because of my new name. That new name saved my own life in more ways than one. I am the Singing Siren.

Beauty. Grace. Song. The three core traits that make up the Sirens. Traits that create chaos and tragedy wherever they go, with every move that they make. To lose the effect, they are forced to give up its cause: their song. A pact was forged centuries ago in an agreement to stop singing. A pact that continues to be broken. Crevan is the name the three Sirens take when they move to Florence, Oregon as they once more try to escape what they are. Ariana is the eldest and most beautiful Siren sister. Her entire purpose in life is to care for her sisters. A purpose that continuously washes away who she really is. Shae is the middle Siren and flaunts her differences in any way possible with little to no restraint. It is she that possesses the most grace and charm of the three. Both of which she uses to have a good time as often as possible. Kalina is the youngest sister with a tendency to screw up. Of the three traits cursed upon the Sirens, hers is the most potent and the most dangerous, for she has the greatest song. A song that pulses through her very blood and tests her control with each and every breath. Florence was another stop in their world. Another place to call home for no longer than eight years - if they were lucky. It was never meant to be more than a place to recover from the last fall. But Florence has more in store for the Sirens than they could have possibly foreseen. Once more, Kalina finds herself flirting with disaster when she befriends William James. A human male intent on gaining some form of satisfaction from the enigmatic creature he has found. Inevitably, Kalina finds herself falling for William, and her entire nature changes because of it. But her love is a betrayal in itself. Furious, her sisters are determined to do whatever they must in order to protect themselves. Now Kalina must fight the entire world in order to keep the one man who has become absolutely vital to her own survival.

A MERMAID'S LIFE is an endless parade of dinners and dances and travel to far-away places with other members of the pod. The pod is a collection of mermaids and mermen - young and old - from the same barrier reef, island chain, or long-forgotten undersea castle or empire. Atlantis is an example of an undersea empire that is the home to hundreds of pods of mermaids and their families.Kelly's pod includes her friends and family members. Her family includes her sister Layla - also a mermaid. Her mother and dad are only half mermaid and merman. They are half-human also. The mermaid gene is dominant, so Kelly and Layla look and swim like all the other mermaids in the pod. They have a human upper body with head and arms like most humans. Their lower bodies look like a fish's body - it is green with shiny scales and a fine tail, like a dolphin or a whale. The most interesting thing about the tail is that it is a magic tail. The magic is in the tail. Just as the magic is in the carriage return, the magic is in the tail.The other interesting thing about mermaids is that they can sing magical songs that can be heard by other mermaids and mermen across great distances. The magical songs can also be heard by sailors as they sail the seven seas. The sailors listen carefully for the magical songs - also called siren songs - of the mermaids. The sailors must also be very careful not to steer their ships into the rocks where the mermaids and their families sing and play on nice, sunny days.Factoids:* The number of mermaids has increased substantially over the past decade. Prior to 1910, mermaids and mermen were classified as an endangered species. They almost went extinct!* Since 1990, thanks to more restricted fishing practices, the mermaid population has grown to safe levels ensuring their survival into the next millennium.* The Beaudelaires continue to be the greatest threat to the mermaid population. The exact reason that Beaudelaires dislike mermaids is not known. Just let it suffice that were it not for their magic tails, mermaids would have no chance of surviving an encounter with a member of the Beaudelaire clan.Kelly and her sister Layla were the best swimmers in the pod.When Kelly was in mermaid kindergarten, her mermaid teacher asked her "What do you want to be when you grow up?"Kelly responded, "I want to be a marine biologist when I grow up." That's what her daddy wanted to be when he was in human kindergarten. Her daddy was not sure what a marine biologist did, but had heard about marine biologists when he saw the movie Free Willie.Free Willie was about a killer whale that was one of the best friends of all mermaids and mermen.The movie also had good humans and bad humans. The good humans wanted to help Willie in any way that they could. This included the efforts of a small human boy who even tried to help Willie get back out to sea. The bad humans tried to hurt Willie, and even kill him so they could collect the insurance money. Insurance is a thing that pays you a lot of money when something really bad happens.Oh, one more thing. Willie was a killer whale, but killer whales are not really bad - even though the name 'killer whale' sounds bad. They call killer whales 'killer' because they look ferocious, but are really quite nice to mermaids and humans. In fact, Kelly and Layla often go for rides on the backs of killer whales that stop by Atlantis. The only character flaw in the otherwise placid killer whale community is their penchant for a seal now and then. Killer whales' parents admonish their children to keep it to a minimum.

This book, co-edited by a historical musicologist and an ethnomusicologist, brings together leading scholars and some talented newcomers in classics, music, media studies, literature, and cultural studies to consider the siren and her multifaceted relationships to music across human time and geography.

The siren has been a largely neglected motif in the study of Greek art, and the mourning siren in particular has received very little attention in terms of its use, reception, and significance. The shift in meaning of the siren, moving from a monstrous narrative element as depicted in the Odyssey, to an independent symbol of mourning used in a mortuary context, illuminates a desire on the part of the Greeks to translate the performance of mourning rituals by human females into a more permanent medium. This paper examines the development and use of the motif of the mourning siren as it occurs in Greek art, and argues for its interpretation as a stand-in for the human women who's role in the funerary ritual was dramatically limited by the establishment of sixth century legislation directed at funeral practices. This claim is supported by a study of the iconographic origins of the siren, a tracing of the practices of Greek funerals and the prescriptions of the sumptuary laws that altered elements of their performance, and an evaluation of the form and use of funerary monuments in conjunction with the iconography of mourning. While previous scholarship has treated each of these subjects separately, when taken together, they suggest an explanation for the genesis of the motif in relation to changing funerary customs. Although the mourning siren is a singular example, evaluation of this motif opens a dialogue for reinterpretations of other composite figures in Greek art, and puts forward the possibility that other such creatures also underwent an evolution in terms of conception and significance in the Greek mind.

Singing Back to the Sirens explores the many ways that desire and love, loss and grief, can shape a woman's life. The poems in this two-part collection look at the loneliness of a newborn for her sick mother, the first stirrings of sexual desire for a best friend, the treacherous leap from a sheltered world of faith into lesbian life, the frustrations of falling for straight women, the alchemy of falling in love, the aftermath of losing it. In the first section, the poet sings back to the many women she has loved. In the second, she sings back to the one who sang the sweetest and the saddest songs.
