The daughter of noble pirates, now the wife of one, and most certainly the mother of one, this tall blue-eyed mermaid was educated not in the classroom but in the colorful world of her parents.  Tessa learned how to weave and dye cloth in her mother's Caribbean studio filled with silk and rare fabric and steaming cups of spiced tea.  Her father taught her the art of casting gold and silver, how to carve whalebone, and to distill rum. Instead of going to model in New York at seventeen, she stayed on her tropical island and made colorful beaded jewelry.  Using the alchemy of dance learned in a reggae dance hall lit by a single neon bulb, Tessa enthralled and drew her darling Lucas from the tropics to the surf-beaten granite cliffs of Cornuaille.  Tessa cooks a bewitching curry, and writes with a beauty beyond her age.  You will receive her literature when you contact us.
