"Margot Datz is a mythical wisp herself, a wood nymph who walks
this earth and paints by the mile. She lives by the sea, surviving
on detail, the exotic, and on beauty. Her antennae are always high.
She listens, she digests, and she pontificates with care and humor.
If anyone in this dimension has heard messages from the merfolk,
Margot would be the one." -- Patience Brewster, author, artist, and
creator of the Krinkles™
"Margot Datz's ability to communicate a fragile and funny reality
is unique to her. I've never seen anything like it." -- Carly
Simon, author and musician
"Margot Datz's A Survival Guide for Landlocked Mermaids succeeds
beyond my wildest dreams, with a unique blend of whimsical
woman-wisdom that is elevating to the spirit and affirming to the
soul. It leaves us feeling good about our woman-selves and gives us
a roadmap to that place where we can embrace all that we are,
unapologetically, with confidence and joy, and, of course, the
whimsy we all need--not only to survive but to prosper." --
Charlayne Hunter-Gault, part-time vineyarder, Johannesburg-based
journalist, and author of No News Out of Africa
