The Reward

I don’t normally enter writing contests or challenges. They’re just not my thing. But recently I saw a challenge on Vocal.Media that sparked my interest.

Called The Little Black Book Challenge, it invited you to submit a short story which in some way revolved around a little black book. Why this interested me, I’m not sure.

So I sat down and wrote a short story, coming in just under the word limit–did I mention I normally write tomes?

Anyway, it has been reviewed and submitted to the challenge. Now all I need to do is get it out to the world to read.

Which is where you come in.

Go over to the challenge and take a look at it. If you like the story, please make sure to give it a Like on the page. And share it with your friends!

Are You Ready for Romance?

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, are you ready?

Ready for a little romance and magic?

Beginning on Friday afternoon, all of my books at Smashwords will be on sale. Some may even be free! So watch for it!

Check on Twitter, Facebook, or on my profile page at Smashwords for the beginning of the sale. It will run through Monday afternoon, so you’ll have plenty of time to get something which strikes your fancy.

I have two different series and a stand alone to choose from.

Gambler’s Folly–a futuristic world centered around shifters and their romances.

Esperance–a world ruled by psychic leaders, where paranormal Talents are just part of life.

Master of the Fleet–a world where magic is real, but doesn’t seem to help Richard with his love life.

So go on over Friday after work and choose a romance for the weekend. Or choose more than one.

And Don’t Forget–

— to Share the Romance…

Have You Heard…

about Vocal.Media?

It is an online platform where people can publish their work and get paid a little bit for every view. Or people can tip the author of the article if they are so inclined.

Maybe you’re in the mood to read something short. You might find what you’re looking for at Vocal. There are several categories to choose from, so nearly anyone can find something of interest there.

I discovered them a while back and have several articles available to read. Some of them are musings on this world of ours and how it differs from the world when I grew up. Others are fictional.

Interested?

Check out my page on Vocal and see if there’s something for you. Here’s the link to my oatest article., Of Wall Street, Reddit, and Total Chaos.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Wanna Hear a Story?

Sometimes you want to grab a book and sit down with a cuppa to read.

Other times, you want to listen to someone tell you a story. Or at least I do.

I prefer to listen to audio books in the car. The road noise doesn’t affect them as much as it does the music, and I’m ot quite as distracted if I’m listening to a story I’ve read before. If I miss a paragraph or two, it’s fine. I already know how the plot goes.

But what to listen to…

If you like paranormal romance, a strong male character matched with an equally strong female, and love a good Scottish brogue, check out the first two books from my Esperance Series.

Both are available from Audible! And I love the voices Alistair Cameron uses for the characters, especially Jareth!

So go check them out. I also have a short non-fiction book available from Audible. Titled Cancer and the Warrior’s Way, it is the story of my struggle against breast cancer.

So check out Jareth, First Lord and Viviane, First Lady on Audible.

Did You Know…?

If you like excerpts, check out my Excerpts Page here at melliemiller.com. I have excerpts up from most of my latest books, and will be adding more as I get the time.

How has 2021 started out for you? Here in Georgia, it has been a bit warmer than normal, which worries me a little. So many times we have warmer weather early, and then, just as the trees and bushes start to bud out for spring, we get a hard frost and kill the buds. Meaning no fruit or flowers from them.

But we’re enjoying the outdoors nonetheless. As soon as my tendinitis is better, I’ll get back to my daily walks. Yes, I know. I’m a klutz…

Anyway, check out the excerpts, go check out my author page, or check out each individual book. Links can be found here.

Drop me a message with what you’re reading, favorite authors, your part of the world… Whatever is on your mind.

And if this world’s got you down, visit one of mine!

Esperance–a more laid back pioneer kind of place.

Gambler’s Folly–a futuristic, fast paced, pleasure world.

Cote d’Or–in Master of the Fleet, a world in an alternate timeline where magic is real.

Are You on Goodreads?

How is everyone this week? It has been a long week here, with several medical appointments and various other activities. So my writing is a little behind, as is my laundry.

Do you have a Goodreads account? I am just starting to get Goodreads figured out. I know. I’m slow. But there is a lot of good information on there, and it’s a great place to find new authors and books, or support your favorite authors.

But I wanted to share the new reviews for Jareth, First Lord and for Master of the Fleet which are up on Goodreads!

Five stars each! I am a happy writer!

So if you’re looking for something to read this weekend, go on over to Mellie Miller on Amazon, (for Jareth), Sultonna Nadine (For Master of the Fleet), or Smashwords and check them out!

You can find me on Goodreads by clicking the link.

Wishing you a wonderfully relaxing weekend!

Election Time–Still…

I don’t know about anyone else, but I have never been quite so tired of an election. The phone calls–both landline and mobile, the text messages, the voice messages, the emails…

When will it end?

If you need an escape–and I sure do at the moment–why not escape to one of my worlds? I promise, not one mention of elections on any of them.

Esperance: https://amazon.com/dp/B074CF2323

Gambler’s Folly: https://amazon.com/gp/product/B07XM3VRXK

Cote d’Or: https://amazon.com/Master-Fleet-Sultonna-Nadine-ebook/dp/B07CQTTHV2/ #paranormal #romance #Magic

Come to Esperance for a slower pace of life, among people with unusual abilites.

Love the night life? Check out Gambler’s Folly and its crazy bunch of shifters, who do their best to keep the world safe from contraband.

Or if you love magic, come to the Cote d’Or, where magic is simply a part of everyday life.

Whichever world you choose, it will definitely give you a break from all the chaos here on Earth.

Have a wonderful week!

Happy New Year!

We’ve finally left 2020 behind us. Let’s hope 2021 gives us a better run.

From all the folks on Gambler’s Folly, Esperance, and the Cote d’Or

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy Holidays!

All of us from Esperance–Jareth, and Viviane, James and Morgan, and all the folks you have yet to meet-; from Gambler’s Folly— Damiano and Karianna, Dante and Angela, Dmitri and Danni, and all their friends; and Lord Sir Richard and Anne-Marie from Cote d’Or–wish you a very Happy Holiday.

Stay safe. Stay warm. Stay healthy.
