Spotlight On Old Flame

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!

So if you’ve been waiting to get your copy, wait no longer. The price will never be lower than it is today. But don’t wait too long! The Free Book Deal ends Thursday, Sept. 18.

Old Flame…

They had been friends at university. Just friends. No romance or romantic attachments. Just easy going, sharing a morning coffee before class, complaining about a current boy/girlfriend or an ex kind of friends. No entanglements. And then they had graduated and gone their separate ways and not seen each other again.

Until now.

Both on their way to Gambler’s Folly, the world where every love story is a gamble and Fate always deals the final hand. And does she have a hand for thee two. Kort had intended to take care of a little business and then vacation for a week or two. Elizabeth was on a package holiday to unwind and relax and maybe do a little shopping.

Neither was looking for romance or a relationship. Bear shifter Kort had given up years ago after two failed marriages and a list of gold diggers after his fame and money. Elizabeth had been a widow for four years after a passionless marriage. They’d been happy enough, but she just couldn’t get excited about the bedroom. She saw no point in a relationship.

Enter Fate and her deck of cards, smiling serenely and shuffling the deck. Of course, it’s stacked. And the odds always favor of the house. Kort and Liz never had a chance once she set her mind to getting them together.

Come join the fun on Gambler’s Folly in OLD FLAME. Follow along in this slow burn, second chance, friends-to-lovers story of paranormal fantasy and romance.

Are You Ready For Autumn?

Posted in Book Sale, Fantasy Romance, Mainstream sensual, paranormal fantasy, Romance, writing, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on September 8, 2025| Leave a Comment »

Autumn has always been my favorite season. The bright colors in the trees, the scent in the air, the crunch of leaves beneath my feet, and of course, the cooler temperatures.

What do you love about autumn?

And what scent would you choose to evoke the feel of it?

When I write, I sometimes light a candle with a scent in some way bringing the mood of what I’m writing. In the case of Ben of Blackstone’s Forge--which I hop;e to have out this year–I had two candles from Mythologie Candles. One was Dwarven Forge and the other was simply called The Blacksmith.

For Morgan–The Pixie and the Green Man, Verdant Forest seems right. James, after all, has a link with the forest.

If you’re interested in candles, but are tired of all the old scents, try Mythologie Candles. They have really unique scents I love. And I can usually find one to help me get in the mood to write.

Don’t forget OLD FLAME is on sale at Amazon for only $1.25! And with the temperatures cooling down, bring a little spice into your life with Old Flame!

Have a wonderful week.

And as always,

Give A Girl Some Love

Not me, precisely, but my latest release, Old Flame. It’s in the AllAuthor Cover Contest, and I would really appreciate your support!

If you like fantasy romance, with a bit of the paranormal, some second chance romance, or friends to lovers, this book is for you.

Kort could have his pick of women, with his money, power, and good looks. Except for the one he wants. An unexpected reunion with this lady brought feelings he never hoped for. Why had they never even dated when they’d been at university thirty years ago? Since graduation, he’d had two failed marriages and a string of gold diggers after his wealth. He said he would never marry again, but Liz might prove him wrong.

Liz had been married shortly after university, but theirs had been a passionless marriage. They got along well enough, but there was no real passion in the bedroom. Now a widow, she sees no reason to look for a relationship. Kort had been a good friend at University, but they were just friends. They hadn’t even dated. But their surprise reunion brings a different vibe to their relationship. There was no way he could be interested in her beyond a holiday affair–could he?

Join me on Gambler’s Folly in OLD FLAME.

If you don’t have your copy yet, go on over to Amazon or Kindle Unlimited and start on it tonight!

And please cast your vote for the cover art. Kort and Liz need all the help they can get to sort out their romance.

Thank you in advance!

And as always,

Do You Use Kindle Unlimited?

Posted in Fantasy Fiction, Fantasy Romance, Mainstream sensual, Paranormal fantasy, Paranormal romance, tagged , , , , , , , , on July 28, 2025| Leave a Comment »

If you do, you’re in luck! I’ve recently chosen to put Old Flame up on Kindle Unlimited. I have so many friends who are enrolled, who have asked if my books were available there, that I thought I’d give it a shot.

If you are a voracious reader, you might do well to check it out. I can sit and read a cozy mystery in an evening. Thrillers take a little longer, especially if they are particularly convoluted and involved–like one of my favorite authors, D. D. Black.

Several of my author friends have their books available on KU as well and seem to have good luck.

So if you use Kindle Unlimited, or if you just like eBooks, go on over to Amazon and check out OLD FLAME. While you’re there, pick up copies of the other books in the series, such as The Russian.

Old Flame–a second chance, Friends To Lovers, paranormal fantasy romance, set on an exotic resort world.

The Russian–Great age difference, Fated Mates, paranormal fantasy romance, once again on Gambler’s Folly, exotic vacation spot of the galaxy. Gambler’s Folly, where every love story is a gamble, and Fate always deals the final hand.

And of course, shifters galore!

Go pick out something to read tonight.

I know, some people are very superstitious about today. But for our daughter, it has always been a great day. Anyone else have the same experience?

And it’s Father’s Day weekend as well! Wishing all of you guys out there a wonderful celebration.

As you know, Old Flame is now out there in the world. So far, all the comments I’ve heard have been positive, which is exciting. The down side is that I’m not seeing a lot in the way of sales yet.

This series–Gambler’s Folly— is a cross-genre paranormal/fantasy romance in a unique universe. The whole concept revolves around a vacation destination world and the capital city, Speranza. In book 1, we meet the owner of a high end, luxurious hotel casino chain–the Stella d’Oro– where high stake games of various sorts are played.

Remember, on Gambler’s Folly, every love story is a gamble, and Fate always plays the final hand.

What would you gamble for love?

The tone is sensual, and high heat in this paranormal romance series. Most couples are mature, featuring soulmates, fated mates, and a bit of off-world politics. There is strong emotional and physical chemistry between the couples, resulting in a forever bond.

In Old Flame, we have bear shifters. It is a friends-to-lovers story, with a bit of second chance in the mix. Our heroine is a widow going off for a month long vacation to our favorite world. After a surprise reunion with an old college friend–who is also traveling to Gambler’s Folly– sparks begin to become embers as they travel to their destination.

If your a fan of The Psy-Changeling Series, by Nalini Singh, Immortals After Dark, by Kresley Cole, or Dark Protectors, by Rebecca Zanetti, check out Gambler’s Folly and Old Flame!

And when you finish the story, please leave a review for me!

Have a wonderful Father’s Day Weekend.
