When I was little, my mother read to me nearly every day. And I read to my kids as they were growing up. Maybe you had the same experience growing up.
But where do you find someone to read to you now?
You’re in luck! I’ve decided to make audio versions of all my short stories and musings from Vocal.Media. And this first one is one of my favorites–Moonlight and Shadows.
A paranormal short story set in the high desert area of Wyoming, come meet Shade Shadowstalker, a rather unusual individual who works for the DEA.
Nighttime, under a full moon, your eyes can play tricks on you out there. Can you really believe that what you think you see is real? Or is it just a trick of the light.
Go on over to Anchor FM and listen to Moonlight and Shadows. And if you like what you hear, let me know!
Thanks for dropping by!

Over on VocalMedia, you can read my shorter works for FREE! And there are two paranormal short stories among them.
He’d been planning to meet an informant at his cabin. But when he gets there, she’s dead on his floor and an unfamiliar vehicle is pulling away from his drive. Once the local authorities have finished, he changes for the run back to his home in town.
Can you really trust your eyes out here in the high desert moonlight?
She didn’t believe in ghosts and spirits. So who was she talking to.
And more importantly…

Yes! Too Many Talents is now live and available for Kindle and at Smashwords! Book 4 of the Esperance Series, it continues where Book 2 finished, just after Jareth and Viviane get home from her brother’s trial.
After the incident at her brother’s trial, Viviane is even more certain she doesn’t want Talents. But resisting her training brings more trouble in the form of unintentional manifestations of Talents. And when she throws energy at her instructor in anger, she teleports away from the house in a panic at what could have happened.
With the whole house in an uproar, Jareth is finally able to find her and convince her to devote herself wholeheartedly to her training.
Meanwhile, in her home clan of Belfort, her nephew, Connell, is having difficulties of his own. First he had to leave his village, his family, and his friends to the clan center with his grandparents. There was just no way for him to keep up with his schoolwork and begin training his Talents.
But why does he need Talents? Will they really come in useful?
When his little admirer, Nellie, is assaulted and he uses his Talents to rescue her, he begins to get an idea of what it means to be Talented and a First Lord.
And when she is hurt again and he can’t go to her to help, his frustration and anger bring out another Talent for him to train.
Come with me to Esperance and join us in the ups and downs, the trials and triumphs, and everything else which makes this world unique.
Come to Esperance!

The Edits Are Done!
Posted in Fantasy Romance, Happy weekend, paranormal fantasy, Paranormal fantasy, Paranormal romance, tagged Book 4, Book Series, Coming Soon, Esperance, Jareth, mellie miller, Viviane on September 9, 2022| Leave a Comment »
Yes! The final edits are finished on Too Many Talents. Now for the formatting. Which hopefully won’t take too long.
I love writing, the creative process. And I love my computer because it makes this process so much easier. But when it comes to formatting, me and computers don’t get along.
But with any luck, you will have Book 4 from Esperance very soon. Ebook will be out on Smashwords and Kindle first, with paperback and hardcover to follow on Amazon.
So what is it about?
After a frightening incident at her brother’s trial, Viviane would like to forget all about Talents and let them fade away. Unfortunately, the more she resists the training, the more trouble it causes. When she accidentally throws her instructors desk into a wall and then throws energy at him in her frustration, she takes the only way out that comes to mind. She teleports to the mountain cabin, throwing the entire household into a panic trying to find her.
Another thing weighing on her mind is why she isn’t pregnant yet. They’ve been together long enough to have had a child by now, but nothing. What if she can’t give Jareth an heir to his clan?
Over in Belfort, Connell, the new heir who is almost eleven, is having troubles of his own. He misses his old home and friends since he’s moved to his grandfather’s house to train. And he still doesn’t quite understand the need for all these Talents. But an incident with a little admirer helps put things into perspective.
Of course, when he later finds out she’s been hurt, his anger and frustration bring out another Talent for him to work on…
Join Jareth, Viviane, Connell, and all their friends on their delightful world–Esperance–where there’s never a dull moment.
Have a wonderful weekend.
And as always,
Don’t Forget…

Yes! I have the final edits for Too Many Talents. Now for a read through on my end and I can begin formatting it for ebook, paperback, and hardcover.
I’m not sure which bit I dislike the most–editing or formatting. But they are both right up there on my “do I gotta?” list.
So watch here for the release date. And if you want a little preview, go back and check out the post on Too Many Talents.
If you haven’t read the previous three books, go to Amazon and look for the Esperance Series.
Until later,

Pen Names
Posted in Fantasy Romance, Mainstream sensual, Paranormal fantasy, writing, tagged Amazon, Kindle, Melli Miller, pen names, Sultonna Nadine on September 2, 2022| Leave a Comment »
I am often asked if I use a pen name. And the answer to that is both yes and no.
How can it be both?
When I first started writing and publishing my books, I used my actual name, mainly because it never occurred to me not to. Yeah, I’m a little slow.
But then I mentioned to a friend that my mother had another name picked out for me, but was pressured to name me after my two grandmothers. My dad was the eldest son of his family and I would be the first grandchild on my mother’s side. So she got overruled. When he asked what the name was, I told him. Sultonna Nadine. And he loved the name.
I told him he could name one of his characters Sultonna if he’d like, but he said no. The name was mine and I should use it somewhere. Maybe as a pen name. I thought it was a wonderful idea to honor my mother’s choice of names for me. And honestly, I’d always wished she’d given me the name she’d chosen. I feel more a Sultonna than a Mellie most times.
Since I already had both series started under Mellie Miller, I wasn’t sure what to do with the name, until I had the idea for Master of the Fleet. It didn’t fit in either series, but I loved the story. What if I wrote stand alone novels under a different name…
Et voila! Sultonna Nadine the author is born!
So there you have it–the story behind the author. Unfortunately, Amazon doesn’t like the spelling of Sultonna, so if you do a search, it will always come up with a different suggestion. But Sultonna it is.
Am I going to write more under this name?
Absolutely! I actually have two different stories ready for professional editing for Sultonna Nadine. I hope to have one of them out this winter. So keep an eye on this blog for news of a release.
Have a wonderful weekend and a splendid month of September–my birth month!
And as always,
Don’t Forget…

The Dog Days of Summer
Posted in Fantasy Romance, Mellie Miller, paranormal fantasy, Paranormal fantasy, Paranormal romance, tagged Amazon, Coming Soon, Esperance, harcover, Kindle, paperback, Sultonna Nadine, Too Many Talents on August 28, 2022| Leave a Comment »
But at long last, I think autumn is on the way. I hope this heat wave over the weekend is Mother Nature’s last hurrah for summer.
So what’s in the works?
Too Many Talents, the fourth book from Esperance, should be out soon. I know, I keep saying that, but we’ve had to go back for more rewrites. Me and beginnings just don’t seem to get along. I’m fine after the first chapter. For some reason, most of my ideas start somewhere around Chapter 3. Weird…
And hopefully by the end of the year, there will be another Sultonna Nadine book out. I’ve finished my last edit on Whiskey Jug Genie before the editor gets her hands on it. It isn’t as long as most of my novels and while it deals with magic, the romance is sort of low key.
Martin runs an apothecary shop in London. While on vacation in the southern USA, he finds an old whiskey jug to add to his collection of old bottles and jugs. What he doesn’t realize until he gets it home is that a genie is trapped inside. And once Bubba is released, things become…complicated.
So watch for Whiskey Jug Genie. And yes, Sultonna Nadine is the correct spelling of the name, no matter what Amazon says.
Need to catch up on a series? Go to Amazon!
Have a wonderful end of August. I’ll see you again in September!
And as always,
Don’t Forget…
