Liora had always trusted their priest to teach the truth.

But now her husband accuses her of heresy.

Her village is under religious purge.

And her husband has to choose between the church he serves and the woman he loves.

In seclusion at the seaside, Kerrick and Liora discuss the church doctrines and what will happen if the wardens or confessors hear of her heresy. After much deliberation, she accepts that he must be right, even though it still kind of feels wrong to her.

But during a walk along the beach one evening, a bigger problem presents itself. They begin to communicate by telepathy. While Liora finds it fascinating, it scares Kerrick to death. As an employee of the church, from a family of confessors, he knows this ability and others like it are forbidden to the average person. They can be allowed only to those the church deems fit to use them for the church.

As he puzzles over what to do, he is contacted via telepathy from an unexpected source and urged to take his wife to Wales as quickly as possible. The wardens have her village surrounded pending a purge for heresy. Since they know she was from this village, they are looking for the two of them, to see if she believes the heresy her priest taught. And if they find the two of them with these added mental abilities, it won’t just be Liora going to the confessors.

A tale of harsh religious rule, persecution by the church, forbidden talents, and a newlywed couple caught in the middle.

Come to London and Wales and meet Kerrick and Liora, Lord and Lady Calloway. Follow their journey, not only across England and Wales, but through the religious upheavals they face as they flee the church they once served.

LADY CALLOWAYA Question of Heresy is available at Amazon. Links to other retailers are found at Books2Read.

Fantasy, alternate realities, romantic suspense, religious conflict, and a bit of folklore. Don’t miss it!

Yes, my alter ego, Sultonna Nadine, has been at it again! LADY CALLOWAY will be out on March 1, so if you are a fantasy lover, this is for you.

Set in an alternate timeline in turn of the century London, this fantasy has a strong romantic side as well as religious conflict and political intrigue. Liora Calloway, recently married to Kerrick, was raised believing women must not find pleasure in sex, even in marriage. They must give themselves to their husbands to keep them from seeking outside pleasure. But for the wives to enjoy the act was the same as prostitution. They also said women had no real sexual drive, so it wouldn’t be a problem. They were wrong and she was afraid she would be damned for her evil thoughts.

Kerrick worked for the church and thought his marriage would be fulfilling in every way. But no matter what he did, he couldn’t bring passion into his bedroom. And then he found he was married to a heretic. He was duty-bound to report her to the church, but his heart demanded he protect her from the church he served. Taking a holiday from work, he rushed Liora to the seaside cottage to reason with her over her beliefs.

Her heresy soon became a minor issue when they both began to develop mental abilities the church had forbidden. Not knowing what to do at this point, they receive a message from an unexpected quarter and set out for Wales in the middle of the night to escape a church determined to bring them back to London for questioning.

Can they escape the reach of the church? Are there others, like them, who have forbidden talents? And can their marriage survive the turmoil the face?

Go over and pre-order your copy of LADY CALLOWAY!

Today we’re going to do something different, but I believe it is something you will enjoy. Several years ago I became acquainted with a lady who was struggling to break into the film industry. She had written several stage plays, but wanted to move on up to film.

Her name?

Peachanda DuBose!

One of the first films of hers I saw was Maggie, and it is still my favorite of all her films. Dramatic, poignant, and deeply touching, this film won awards across the board. And this new film, But Still…, getting ready for production, will undoubtedly be a hit as well.

I’ve seen some of the preview content from But Still…, and I have to say, it is going to be stellar.

If you’re a fan of of drama and romance, help me support Peachanda with her project. But Still… is a poignant romantic drama exploring unexpected love, inner conflict, and the enduring connections that shape personal growth.

Here’s the Press Release!

So what do you say? Can you help her out? Breaking into the business is not only difficult, but expensive, especially these days. It needn’t be much. Anything will help. You can check out the IMDB page here.

I can hardly wait to see this on the screen. As more information becomes available, I’ll keep you updated.

In the meantime, have a wonderful weekend.

And as always,

Why don’t I let someone else give you the low down?

*****

“Author Mellie Miller invites readers back into the enchanting world of Gambler’s Folly with Old Flame, the newest addition to her fantasy romance series blending shifter lore, emotional healing, and unexpected second chances. The novel follows two characters who built separate lives marked by loss,
growth, and quiet longing, only to discover that destiny has not forgotten them.


Kort Behrens, a bear shifter and billionaire businessman, has spent years believing love simply isn’t meant for him. Two
marriages ended in disappointment, and too many encounters with women more interested in his wealth than his heart
have left him wary and guarded. Behind his success lies a man who has accepted solitude as his future, convinced that
genuine love is a chapter he will never experience again.


Elizabeth Murphy, a once-devoted wife turned widow, has spent the last four years rebuilding her life with compassion
and purpose. Immersed in her Reiki practice and the comforting companionship of her cat, Puzzle, she has carved out
stability while quietly carrying the ache of a marriage that, despite lasting nearly three decades, never fulfilled her
desire for deeper romantic and physical connection. The idea of dating again feels impossible, if not unnecessary.


Decades earlier, Kort and Elizabeth were simply friends—two young adults navigating university life with no romantic
spark between them. After graduation, they drifted into separate worlds, neither imagining their paths would ever cross
again. But fate intervenes aboard a journey to Gambler’s Folly, the mystical realm where chance, destiny, and desire
often weave together in surprising ways Their unexpected reunion ignites a spark neither felt thirty years ago. What
begins as warm nostalgia soon grows into an undeniable connection, forcing both to confront old insecurities and long-
held fears. For Kort, it is the realization that love may still be possible with someone who sees beyond his wealth. For
Elizabeth, it is the discovery that passion and emotional intimacy can coexist in a single connection—something she has
never experienced.


As Gambler’s Folly subtly nudges their lives together, Kort and Elizabeth must decide whether to embrace this rare
second chance or retreat into the safety of solitude. Miller enriches their journey with themes of healing, self-worth,
rekindled friendship, and the unexpected ways love can rewrite the stories we thought were finished.


With its blend of fantasy, shifter romance, emotional depth, and slow-burn tension, Old Flame continues the series’
signature approach to exploring love through the lens of fate and personal transformation. Fans of the Gambler’s Folly
universe will appreciate the familiar magic of the world while discovering a relationship built on maturity, vulnerability,
and the quiet power of rediscovered connection.

****

So, what do you think? Are you ready to take a chance on love with Kort and Liz? Do you love a sensual, slow burn romance? Come to Gambler’s Folly and feel the heat as these two decide whether or not love is worth the gamble.

Happy reading everyone!

And as always,

Old Flame is beginning to get a little attention, mainly on Goodreads.

So what are people saying? Take a look!

“This was my September pick in Clara’s private book club, and what a ride it was. Kort, with his commanding presence, could have easily become a caricature of the billionaire hero, but instead he came across as deeply human lonely, funny, and just a little lost. Liz, cautious but brave, was the perfect counterbalance…This story isn’t just about rekindled romance; it’s about finding safety, trust, and a second chance when you least expect it.”

“Old Flame has such a comforting yet adventurous vibe. The reunion between Kort Behrens and Liz Murphy felt tender, nostalgic, and at times surprisingly witty. Their banter reminded me of friendships you slip back into after decades apart.”

“I absolutely adored Old Flame! Kort and Elizabeth’s story melted my heart. You can feel their history and chemistry from the first moment they see each other again. Mellie Miller did an amazing job blending real, mature love with the fantasy elements of Gambler’s Folly. Kort being a billionaire and a bear shifter? Yes, please! 🐻✨ It’s sensual, but also full of warmth and emotional depth.”

What are you waiting for? Come join their story on Gambler’s Folly,. Or choose one of the previous romances on this crazy, fantasy world. You know, that world where every love story is a gamble, and Fate always deals the final hand. (And there’s often a wild card involved.)

Wishing you a wonderful holiday season.

Watch for sales coming soon!

And most of the folks out there are thinking about gifts.

If you have friends who love to read, especially if they love fantasy and romance, how about a book from one of my series? In Jareth, First Lord, Jareth brings Viviane back to Clan Brannach during the winter. And later in the book, they watch the annual eclipse of the two moons during the winter–

“In the heart of winter the two become one, the past put to rest, the future begun.”

In Too Many Talents, Connell has a winter party with his friends. Think snowball fights using telekinesis and you’ll get the picture.

On Gambler’s Folly, there is plenty of snow for skiing. That ski run down the mountain in the dark to escape from the mob might be a bit more than Kari was hoping for though…

Don’t want tied to a season? Check out the rest of the series in Gambler’s Folly and Esperance!

All right, now you have the books. What you need to go with them is something to set the scene, like a candle from Mythologie Candles, candles inspired by fantasy!

One of my favorite pairings in MORGAN–The Pixie and the Green Man, with Verdant Forest.

Grab your book, something wonderful to drink, light the candle, and settle into the world of your choosing.

Don’t know where to look? Find the book you want and then go over to Mythologie Candles and look through their selection of scent scapes. There is sure to be something there to enhance your reading pleasure. If nothing seems to fit your book, you can always find something for the season, no matter what your taste is in candles. I will warn you, their scents are unique!

Now that you have some of your gift giving sorted, go find something for you to read. And a candle to read by of course.

Enjoy the holiday season and remember to take time to relax.

And as always,

Don’t Forget…
