Now that Master of the Fleet is out for Kindle and in paperback, it’s time to start thinking about the next project under this name, Sultonna Nadine.
While I will have other books coming out under Mellie Miller, they are books in my two series. I’m reserving Sultonna for my standalones.
LADY CALLOWAY is already in the process. Another story in an alternate timeline, this story takes place in a London during the late 1800’s. In our story’s timeline, the Church has tremendous control over the citizens in every way. The Church and state are one governing body in the England of the time, and in Europe, which is where our story begins.
Lord Richard Calloway works in a department which liaises between the two halves of the government–the liturgical and the secular sides. His father and most of the men in his family have been confessors–individuals who can read peoples’ minds and correct them, if needed, to abolish heresy.
Liora, Richard’s wife, has been brought up in a small village to the north. Unknown to Richard, she was taught several heretical doctrines, which she still holds. If her heresy gets out, not only will she be subject to confession, he will lose his job, and possibly his life, for not turning her in as a heretic.
Taking time off to finish an interrupted honeymoon may give him the time he needs to help her understand her error and bring her back into the fold. But during their time together, they both begin to develop paranormal abilities forbidden by the church.
When Richard’s father reaches out to him, by means of one of these abilities, to tell him the confessors are coming for the two of them, not only is he confused, he is is now a hunted man with a wife to protect.
Watch here for news about LADY CALLOWAY , from Sultonna Nadine, and for new releases by Mellie Miller.

Yes! The paperback for Master of the Fleet is now available from CreateSpace and Amazon! And the digital version is under review at Amazon and should be available in a couple days.
Published under my pen name, Sultonna Nadine, Master of the Fleet is a standalone book, set in an alternate timeline of the American Northwest.
Richard LeMarnier was one of the wealthiest men on the Cote and a powerful shaper of wind and water. He’d finally met the woman he wanted to make his wife, and while she hadn’t refused his proposal, she hadn’t accepted either. Their trip back to her home kingdom for the festival should have been the perfect time to repeat his proposal, but somehow it all went wrong.
Now he’s married to a woman who will never enjoy being his lover. Doubly bound by marriage vows and a blood oath, he doubts there will be a happily-ever-after.
Anne-Marie had never intended to marry. You set them up, took them for what they had, and left in a pool of tears, claiming a family tragedy. But then she met Richard and played the game a little too long. How could she escape this prison called marriage?
If you like magic, fantasy, and romance, go check out Master of the Fleet. Also available in e-book from Smashwords.
Happy weekend!

Yeah, sitting here listening to the rain come down. I think my house needs pontoons.
So, what do you do when it’s a dark and rainy day outside? I’m trying to decide between knitting and reading. I have a knitting project started for a friend who’s expecting this fall. But my “to read” list is backing up also.
Decision, decisions…
What are you reading today?
Come with me to the Cote d’Or to visit with Richard and Anne-Marie. Set in an alternate timeline of the American Northwest, it is a tale of an America with a much stronger French influence, with kingdoms rather than states, and where magic is real.
Richard shapes wind and water in his capacity as master of the fleet for his family’s shipping firm. While he has master over these elements, a woman rules his heart. A woman who’s heart he hopes to win.
So let’s go for a visit, shall we, and leave all this rain behind.

I currently have two series up and going–Esperance and Speranza (Gambler’s Folly)–with more books in each series started and others planned. I also have a stand-alone about to release on Amazon.
And then there’s this one story, the one that wakes me up at night with new scenes. A book which would be in the Esperance series, but was not previously planned. The book that is driving me crazy because I need to be working on another one, but can’t get this one out of my head.
Is it a good story line? Yes.
Would it fit in with the rest of the series? Yes.
Do I like the idea? Yes.
But the series isn’t ready for it yet. It needs the one I’m trying to work on.
So, the question is:
Do I force myself to write the one I should write?
Or do I write the one that keeps bugging me to be written?
Not a clue. But I’ll get there. They’ll both be written and released in the proper order. But sometimes being creative can make you crazy.
Or crazier than you were to begin with…
Welcome to March everyone! Let’s make it a great month.

From Master of the Fleet? Here’s a bit from the marriage ceremony.
Excerpt:
“Is there anything else I should know before we begin? If not, call your witnesses and we will conduct the ceremony.”
Richard had nothing else to say and apparently Anne-Marie didn’t either. Once the witnesses were present, the ceremony began. The group passed through the front gates into the courtyard, to stand in the presence of the heavens.
Those in the wedding party removed their shoes to stand on earth. With hands raised, eyes to the heavens, the priest began to intone the opening words of the marriage oath.
“In the presence of God, I call upon heaven and earth, water and fire, wind and spirit, to witness the union of Lord Sir Richard LeMarnier and Anne-Marie Desplaines…”
They made it through the ceremony without complications. He used the ring he’d bought for their betrothal for her wedding ring. She used his signet ring for his. These represented Earth. Candles lit during the ceremony represented fire, the couple was sprinkled with water, and the kiss represented an exchange of spirit. As the ceremony continued under the stars, the evening breeze swept around them, caressing them and adding its seal to the union. Arcane symbols bound their vows to each of the elements.
Bound by God and the six elements of creation, their human representatives bearing witness and completing the perfect ring of seven, the marriage was sealed by the priest, and recorded.

I know, I’ve been away for a while. My husband of 42 years recently had a total knee replacement and has been convalescing at home, complete with physical therapy…
How has your new year begun?
MASTER OF THE FLEET is out on Smashwords, and as soon as we have the final and finished cover for CreateSpace, it will publish on Amazon as well.
Richard LeMarnier is the owner and master of the fleet for LeMarnier shipping, the largest commercial fleet on the west coast. With control over wind and water, he can manipulate the elements to keep his ships safe.
He’s been courting Anne-Marie for nearly two years and hopes to become engaged to her during the harvest festival in her home kingdom.
Anne-Marie never intended to marry. Men were for one thing only–taking them for all you get before moving to greener pastures.
“You met them, loved them, milked them, and left them, before anything permanent developed. They were none the wiser and happy to have known you. ”
But at the banquet, everything goes wrong when her temper gets the better of her. Now bound to Richard by an oath, marriage vows and a blood oath, she hopes for a way to escape once he’s at sea in the spring.
A blend of romance, intrigue, and magic, MASTER OF THE FLEET is a stand-alone under my pen name–Sultonna Nadine.
Wishing everyone a peaceful and profitable New Year!

Between the weather and this bug I’ve been fighting, the year has been a little harsh so far.
What is everyone up to?
I’ve been away from the blog for a while, due to the aforementioned issues, but I hope to be back on a more regular basis.
Still trying to get Master of the Fleet out. We’re having cover issues, as usual. Why is it that no matter what sort of guy I’m looking for, he doesn’t exist when I need him for cover art?
Anyway, stay warm and safe out there. I’ll try to do the same…
