Viviane, First Lady
Posted in Fiction books, Uncategorized, tagged fantasy fiction, FreedomInk365, Jareth: First Lord, mellie miller, romantic fantasy on October 2, 2014| Leave a Comment »
With Jareth, First Lord re-released this month, it’s time to look forward to the sequel, Viviane, First Lady. We’re aiming for a March 2015 release date for Viviane.
Following the events in Jareth, First Lord, we find Viviane trying to come to grips with all the changes life has brought her way, from the loss of her husband before the story, to Jareth’s courtship and the trouble between the clans.
Now life is being further complicated by things completely out of her control. And until she can gain a little control, there can be no planning for heirs to the house of Brannach.
So if you haven’t read Jareth, First Lord, go ahead and pre-order your copy now, because Viviane is following hard on its heels.
Available now through FreedomInk365. Jareth will soon be available through Amazon, Books-a-Million and Barnes and Noble. Paperback and eBook.

Cover Reveal for Jareth, First Lord!

Yes, it’s here! We now have the cover art for the new Jareth, First Lord. And it’s stunning. Thank you M2 Studios and Jeremy Morgan!
We still have a little time before the print books arrive, so there is still time to pre-order Jareth, First Lord. After all, you should read Book 1 of the Esperance Series before Book 2 comes out in the spring, right?
So, here is the long awaited cover! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Psychic Talents–What Would Yours Be?
Posted in Fiction books, Reflections, tagged Fantasy romance, Gambler's Folly, Jareth: First Lord, Meleigh's Creations, mellie miller on September 22, 2014| Leave a Comment »
In Jareth, First Lord, we enter a world ruled by families with psychic abilities. While there are people among the general population with minor abilities, usually limited to one talent, the rulers have multiple talents.
If you could choose one psychic ability, what would it be? Would you choose mental telepathy so you could communicate without speaking? How about teleportation, the ability to move yourself to a different location with the power of your mind?
Maybe you’d rather have telekinesis, the ability to move objects around without physically touching them. I think that could be rather a lot of fun at times…
Or those of you who would love to help others through illness or injury might choose to be a healer, someone who could tap into the energy of the universe and channel it to make others whole again.
I know some people who could use empathy. This is the ability to feel and match the emotions of others. Seems like a wonderful talent for a counselor to have. Perhaps a trained empath could match emotions with someone needing help, and then modify them. Sort of like a hands on psychiatrist–treatment without drugs.
So what would you choose? And why would you choose it?

Bleed Red Ink
Posted in Fiction books, Uncategorized, tagged Dawn Miller, editing services, Mellie E. Miller, mellie miller, RuleBreaker Editing on July 27, 2014| 1 Comment »
Here’s a little ditty I sent to my editor the other day, RuleBreaker Editing. It had been a day….
Red Ink
“You’ve been writing in that corner now from dusk until dawn.
You know you’re getting tired as you stifle that yawn.
But the story’s almost perfect, at least that’s what you think.
What it really needs to do now is to bleed some red ink.”

Help Them Tell Their Story
Posted in Fiction books, Uncategorized, tagged Come In, fantasy fiction, mellie miller, NaNoWriMo, Young Writers on July 18, 2014| Leave a Comment »
Everyone has a story. And some of us choose to share. Some write non-fiction from their own lives, others write non-fiction of other kinds. And some of us write fiction and make it up as we go along.
Whatever story you decide to tell is up to you.
And that’s where National Novel Writing Month comes in. With two summer virtual camps and the big event in November, it is a wonderful aid to get started and keep writing for an entire month. You set your own goals and use your stats page to keep track of your progress.
There are all kinds of tools to help you on your journey on the resources page, as well as forums to answer questions or simply interact with other writers.
There is also a Young Writers Program for teachers and students, and the Come In Library program.
To top it off, NaNoWiMo is a nonprofit organization.
And that’s where you come in. It takes funds to keep all this going. The people you help are the writers of tomorrow.
If you can lend a hand, know that it will be put to good use and greatly appreciated. Here is a link to my fundraiser page.

Thank you for your support,
Mellie

“Aaaarrrgggghhh! You can’t do that! Not to my baby!” she cries.
That would be me or any other author out there who’s just seen the red ink all over their newly edited manuscript.
If you’re self publishing, I want you to give serious thought to hiring an editor to look over your work. Not because your story isn’t a great read, but because an editor can take that great read and make it sparkle. Your tension draws the readers in, but your editor can make the air crackle from the electricity in the air.
Yes, as an author, it is hard to send your newborn book to someone who will pull out a sharp knife and slice into it, amputating some parts and modifying others. And when you look over the manuscript initially, your heart will want to bleed red ink in sympathy.
But once you get past the shock and horror and begin to read your book with the edits in place, you’ll understand the difference between a good story and a great one.
If you’re like me, you get stuck in certain word patterns or using particular modifiers. You’ll catch some of them as you do your own editing, but not all. After all, you wrote these words and sometimes it’s difficult to read the story as your audience will.
Or you’ll write something, feeling certain your audience will understand the reference, without realizing you forgot to fill them in on this bit of back story.
Your editor will catch this and go, “Where the hell did this come from?” Maybe not in so many words, but they’ll make a note of it and ask for clarification.
I’ve worked with the Dawn Miller of RuleBreaker Editing for quite a while now. She’s edited all of my books, as well as documents for my husband. Gambler’s Folly wouldn’t be the story it is without her.
Neither would Jareth: First Lord, do to be re-released in August.
And you know she’s going through Viviane: First Lady right now, so I can send it to my publisher, FreedomInk365, later this year.
If you’re a first time author, especially if you’re self-publishing, get yourself an editor. Some of them have discounts for new authors. Others, like RuleBreaker Editing, will edit your first chapter for you for free, so you can see what they can do for you.
Yes, you’ll want to cry that first time. Yes, your manuscript will bleed red ink. But you’ll both get over it.
Editors. Those people we love to hate, but who make such a difference in the end.
Check it out!
Ciao!
