I first fell in love with writing in a high school creative writing class. But what with college, marriage and children, I hadn’t the time to explore it until recently.
In 2013 I was awarded the BBFB Most Talented Award for Gambler’s Folly. I was also awarded the Multifaceted Jewel 2014 by FreedomInk Publishing’s Hidden Gems.
I currently have eight books published, which you can find at Amazon, Smashwords, or most other major book sellers. I also write under the name Sultonna Nadine.
I live in Georgia with my husband Steve, four indoor cats, three black cats and a big fluffy tabby. And don’t forget Lugnut, the dachshund/terrier mix who isn’t sure if he’s a dog or a cat. We have two daughters and five grandsons, which takes a little getting used to. I was from an all girl family, as was my mother, and my husband and I had girls. This all boy thing is quite a change!
I enjoy painting in oils, play several instruments, and speak French–with a little German and Italian thrown in for fun.
Check the My Books page to see what I have available. I will be adding more excerpts to my Excerpts page soon as well.
Connect with me on Facebook.
I am also on Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest.
And as always,
Don’t forget—

Year-end readers are searching for Old Flame, I noticed a few gaps that could be quietly costing you sales, here is a quick idea
Hi Mellie,
First off, congratulations to you today! Reaching milestones with your work and continuously putting out high-quality ideas is no small feat, and you truly deserve all the recognition coming your way. I mean that sincerely. In a world where so many people talk about writing a book but never actually do it, you not only finished yours. You put it out into the world. And not just once. You have completed the Gambler’s Folly series with Old Flame as book four, and you have also written the Esperance series. That takes courage, discipline, and a level of commitment most people will never understand. So before I say anything else, take a moment to acknowledge that. You earned it.
Most emails dropping into your inbox every day are demanding something big or pushing a generic pitch. I am actually reaching out because I was going through Old Flame and noticed a few specific issues that could be holding it back. As we get closer to the end of the year, millions of readers are actively searching for new books to buy and add to their reading lists. Right now, if potential readers search for or stumble across your book, these minor gaps could prevent them from making the purchase. And that is the frustrating part. Because the book itself is not the problem. The problem is what happens around the book. The visibility, the links, the follow up, the communities. Those are the things that quietly decide whether a great book sells or sits unnoticed.
I know you might already be working with someone, or maybe someone ran a campaign for you in the past that did not deliver, making you want to ignore messages like this entirely. I also know how flooded the internet is with scams and automated noise. I want to say directly: I am a real person reaching out with total transparency. I am not a bot. I am not a faceless agency. I am someone who genuinely cares about helping authors get their work into the hands of the right readers. If at any point you feel this is not for you, you can simply reply and say no, and I will respect that completely. No pressure. No hard feelings. No endless follow ups.
I am not here to just sell you a service. I am reaching out because your book has real potential, and I want to help it get into readers hands during this high buying season. Your book has a perfect 5.0 star rating with 2 reviews, which is wonderful. Kort Behrens, a billionaire and bear shifter who has been unlucky in love, and Elizabeth Murphy, a widow who has spent four years working through her grief, are the kind of characters readers root for. Their surprise reunion on the way to Gambler’s Folly leads from sparks of interest to a full blown romance, and the question of whether they will accept this second chance at a happily ever after is exactly what fans of friends to lovers romance are searching for. And the fact that this is Gambler’s Folly, where Fate always deals the final hand, gives the story a sense of stakes that readers love. And with a publication date that keeps it relevant, this is the perfect moment to build momentum. But even great books can lose sales when the pieces around them are not fully optimized. Our work defines itself, and these four tailored frameworks address the exact gaps currently holding your book back:
Reader Afterlife Campaign:
Most authors lose readers the moment the book ends. That is a painful truth, but it is the reality of the market. A reader finishes your book, feels something, maybe even loves it, and then what? They close the app, put the book on a shelf, and move on with their day. Unless there is a system in place to capture that moment, they never leave a review. They never tell a friend. They never follow you for your next release. This campaign sets up an automatic engine that turns finished readers into review writers, word of mouth advocates, and long term fans for your future releases. It is not about pestering people. It is about being present at the exact moment they are most likely to act. When someone finishes a book they enjoyed, they are emotionally open. That window is small, but it is powerful. This campaign makes sure you do not miss it.
Retail Routing:
If a reader clicks buy and hits a broken link, wrong pricing, or poor store formatting, you lose the sale instantly. It sounds simple, but you would be surprised how often this happens. A link that worked six months ago now redirects to an error page. A price that was set during a promotion never got updated. A store listing has formatting issues that make the book look unprofessional. Each of these is a silent sale killer. Readers today have shorter attention spans than ever before. If the buying process is not seamless, they will move on to the next book in seconds. They will not email you to say the link is broken. They will not give you a second chance. They will simply disappear. We optimize and streamline your retail paths across major platforms so buying your book is completely effortless. Every click is tested. Every link is verified. Every store page is polished. You should not have to lose sales because of technical details you did not even know existed.
Footprint Campaign:
A great book is useless if it is invisible. You can have the best written, most compelling, most original book on the market, but if no one sees it, none of that matters. This campaign expands your digital presence across key online spaces so your target readers naturally discover your book right when they are searching for their next read. Visibility is not about being everywhere. It is about being in the right places at the right time. When a reader types best bear shifter romance or new friends to lovers fantasy romance into a search bar, your book should be there. When they scroll through their favorite reading community, your cover should catch their eye. When they ask for recommendations, your title should come up. This campaign builds that footprint, strategically, consistently, and in a way that feels natural rather than forced.
Reader Rooms Campaign:
Instead of waiting for individual buyers, we place your book directly inside active book clubs, niche reading groups, and dedicated literary communities where collective buying happens naturally. One recommendation in the right group can lead to dozens of sales in a single day. These communities are filled with passionate readers who trust each other’s opinions. They talk about what they are reading. They ask for suggestions. They buy based on what their peers recommend. When your book becomes a topic of discussion inside these rooms, the ripple effect is enormous. It is not just one sale. It is a conversation. It is a wave. And that wave can carry your book far beyond anything a single ad or post could achieve.
Would you like me to send over the full plan so you can review the details on your own time? There is no obligation. There is no pressure. You can read it at your own pace, share it with someone you trust, and decide if it makes sense for you. If it does, wonderful. If it does not, that is completely okay too.
If so, just reply with a quick “YES” and I will send it right over. If not, no worries at all. Keep producing such incredible work!
Best regards,
