Join Bavarlee Bernstein tonight as he introduces my new novel, Gambler’s Folly. His web program is on Facebook tonight at 8 pm Eastern time. The program is called ‘Let Me Tell Your Story’, and every Saturday evening, he presents a new author to his Facebook audience.
I have recently submitted Gambler’s Folly to a publisher, who requested a preliminary rewrite. I’m hoping to hear back again soon.
In the meantime, go over and check out my other stories at:

I know I haven’t sent anything out lately. My husband, Steve, finally had some time home, so we were catching up on some around the house projects which needed his expertise.
The good new is, I’ve finished my final draft of Gambler’s Folly. Rather than self-publishing this time, I’m looking for a publisher who’ll take it on. At 86,351 words (computer count, or 106,000 for print) it is a good sized novel–romantic paranormal fantasy.
Gambler’s Folly tells the story of Karianna, who’s husband, Trae, loses her in a card game–to the most powerful underworld syndicate boss, on the planet Gambler’s Folly. Their marriage dissolved, Trae murdered, she finds she is married to Damiano Leone, who brings her into his life of wealth, glamour and danger.
I’ll keep you posted on it’s publication. But in the meantime, why not check out Jareth: First Lord?
A piu tardi, amici….

Some time ago, I decided to tell the story of my fight with breast cancer and share those things I believed helped me along the way. I felt my martial arts training had given me a bit of an edge. Another acquaintance of mine had done some research on martial artists and cancer. He found that black belt ranked martial artists who developed cancer tolerated chemo better and had shorter recovery times.
And though we all had different cancers, trained in different styles, some were men, some women, we all had one thing in common.
So after spending some time in thought, and more time at the keyboard, it is very nearly ready for the publisher.
Cancer and the Warrior’s Way, A Personal Journey, will be out just after New Year’s Day. So watch for it here or on my FaceBook page: http://www.facebook.com/MeleighsCreations
Wishing you all a wonderful holiday,
A piu tardi amici…..

Jareth: First Lord for Kindle is still on sale at Amazon.com, so if you don’t have your copy yet, there’s still time. In the meantime, one of our local books stores has agreed to display Jareth: First Lord in paperback, here in Commerce, GA. So if you’re local, go check it out.
I’m editing the sequel to Jareth now and hope to have it ready for next summer. I’m also writing a first draft of a new fantasy fiction novel, as well as the story of my battle with breast cancer. So keep checking back to see when these will be available.
I’m also an expert writer at Ezines.com, so for helpful tips for the holiday, go check out my articles.

With winter really beginning to show, it’s easier to come into the office and sit down to write for a while. Gambler’s Folly is coming along nicely, as is the non-fiction story of my fight with breast cancer. My cat likes to come in and supervise from my husband’s chair. At least that’s what I think he’s trying to do, though he usually looks like he’s asleep. Just now he’s having a few problems with infected toes, so once he’s in the chair he’s down for the count.
We talk over story ideas, like how to get my hero out of the predicament he’s managed at this point. The cat listens intently, shrugs his shoulders and yawns. I don’t think he’s really into this story at all. Or maybe he’s hinting that I’m smart enough to figure it out on my own. I mean, really, if you’re asking the cat, there is an issue greater than the story.
I’m sure it will all work out in the end. Gambler’s Folly will be finished soon and into the real work–making my ramblings into something resembling a crafted tale. The cat’s toes will be better after he finishes his antibiotics and he’ll be able to get in and out of the chair himself.
And I feel certain that, after he feels better, he’ll really like Gambler’s Folly and be willing to put just a little more effort into it for me, give it just that little twist of magic it needs from my favorite feline. So I’ll talk to all of you later. Time to get the cat and get to work.
A piu tardi amici…..
