2013 goals

I have a lot in store for you all in 2013! I plan on putting out 4-5 books at least. I'm going to wrap up the Boston Witches series at some point, most likely later in the year. I also have a few books in the Blood Ties series that will be out. Blood and Sacrifice will most likely be out in mid to late March. Haunted U, book one in the School Spirits is going to be released in the Spring by the awesome Hayson Publishing! I'm beyond excited to have them behind me.
I think one of my main goal this year is to blog more lol. I always say I'm going to, and then I get side tracked. I'm hoping for at least one per week. If you see me slacking, shoot me a message on Facebook :)

Allure cover reveal

Temptation. Desire. Deception.

Everything about her is enthralling, enticing… until everything about her becomes

deadly.

Alluring you into the center of her world, she’ll deprive you of reason, breath…

life. And because you can’t help it, you’ll let her, and death never felt so good.

There is only one rule where she is from: Don’t become attached to your Allure,

and Ryleigh has already broken that rule.

The decision to stay was easy, but being ready to handle everything that comes

with her choice, is more then she bargained for when something unexpected

happens. Ryleigh is thrown into a world she knows nothing about, and a past she

can’t remember. Time is not Ryleigh’s only enemy, but the lack of it, will be the

end of her immortality if she doesn’t remember what she is or the life she needs

to take.

When the cost of immortality means consuming the life of someone you love,

could you do it?!

Melissa Andrea

I find it hard to sum up my life in a paragraph, but I’ll try.

I am the author of Flutter, The Discover Series! Reading has always been a passion for me, and writing as instinctive as breathing. Every inhale is an idea; every exhale a creation.  The only thing I do better than writing you ask? Making beautiful girls. My daughter’s will always be my greatest accomplishment.

I was born in Denver, Colorado –but I will always think of sunny Arizona as my home. I don’t have a big family, but I’m close with my sister, brother & my mom. My mom is my hero, my inspiration, and I couldn’t have asked for a more amazing person to be raised by.

4 things you should know about me: I’m very girly, but I can get down and dirty with the best of them. I adore the color pink and things that sparkle (including vampires), I am a firm believer that chocolate cures ALL and I like even numbers (hence 4 things about me, not 5) Okay, maybe I cheated a little with my list, shhhh.

This is my life....

The months have flown by since I began this journey over a year ago. Never in my wildest dreams did I think my book would be featured on the same list as Charlaine Harris. I'm absolutely floored by the response I've gotten for Mark of the Witch. Thank you to everyone who has bought the book and to everyone who has shared with people how much they liked it.

The launch of Chasing the Witch was a huge success! People have already been telling me how much they loved it and bugging me for book 3. I'm so happy that people love Jilly, William, and Caroline as much as I love writing them. What's funny is that Caroline wasn't really supposed to be a main character, but everyone said they wanted more of her, so I gave her a bigger part in book 2. I have some ideas for how the series will end in the next book already, it's just finding the time to sit and write it.

Love and Blood will have it's official launch on the 18th, but it's already for sale on Amazon! I'll be having a fun event with games and prizes, so please stop by and hang out. Blood Lust, the short story that is a prequel to Love and Blood is also available and is on its way to being free on Amazon, it's currently free on Smashwords. There is a sneak peek at Blood and Sacrifice at the end of Love and Blood, and I'm going to reveal the cover for it at the event.




I have a few new projects in the works, and I'll share bits and pieces of them as soon as I can. Thanks for being such awesome fans!

Oberon Design

 

Review from Identity Discovery: Recently I came across a company that creates Artisan Leather and Pewter products, in particular they make Kindle Covers. Ok ok. They make much more than that, but this was the item I was looking for when I stumbled across them. Oberon Design was created in 1972, but has a very long history with the artistic growth of Brendan Smith. He started sewing leather by hand with a thread and needle and gradually moved his way up through a basic sewing machine and an aging industrial quality machine.

Beginning in the 1990’s Oberon Design became a vital and well recognized part of the handmade, craft revival in the United States, participating in elite juried venues such as American Craft Council or ACC shows and Buyers Market of American Craft, joining the ranks of the most highly recognized craftsmen and women in the U.S. In 1999, Oberon Design further expanded to include a pewter casting shop that produces the hand cast buttons seen on most Oberon leather covers. As well as being the lead leather designer, Brendan also works in 3-D rendering programs to create the Oberon Design line of gorgeous pewter jewelry, hair accessories and gift items.

At Oberon we’re proud of the fact that the design and casting of our pewter line and all our leather work is done "in house." This combined with our source for domestically tanned leather, use of local and domestic businesses for resources such as non-toxic glues and dyes, thread, zippers, and other items used in our leather and pewter processes, in house production of catalogs and websites, make Oberon Design what it is today, a good old fashioned, hands on, hard working American company.

Well you might be asking yourself why I am writing about this company. I have been given the opportunity to review one of their fabulous eReader covers. I picked out the Wild Rose Kindle Cover for my Kindle Fire HD. I love roses and felt that this cover was a good interpretation of me. We all love to customize/personalize our things, so I decided to cover my kindle with roses. The image above is the exact absolutely fabulous cover that I received along with an awesome pewter rose charm that I can use on anything else I want.

The leather of the cover is strong and thick. It's very durable. They use a special burning process that creates a more natural feel and less of a coated surface. Also this is not a painted leather. It does not feel like it will change colors from use or even time. Rather the leather is permanently red which I would say will be the same case for any color you choose. This was created by their drum-dyed process that allows the leather to completely soak up the color. If you get a scuff, it will not change colors. After you hold it while reading, it will still be the color of your choice even with the oils from your body soaking into it. The inside of the cover has a pocket where you can store the extra bungees they supply you with as well as a small selection of papers. If something goes wrong with your product, they have replacement parts available.

My kindle fits in it nice and snug. I feel confident that it is not going anywhere and is safely secured in its new home. I love my new cover! It is so fantastic! I highly recommend taking a look at their site to find a cover for your eReader (yes they have Nook, Kindle, iPad, iPad mini, etc.). While there, figure out which one you want to win! You read that right!
