Well, this basically sums up everything that needs to be known re: Meljean Brook, because I’m going to sleep until this movie comes out. Okay, maybe not really. But DAAAAAMMMMNNNNNNN. And Aquaman is coming, too. *weeps with joy* Okay but what about the stories, Meljean???? Ah! Okay, so I’m halfway through VENGEANCE, my Milla Vane […]
The only update that really matters… So, yes — I figured out what in my brain was going wrong with The Blacksmith. So I’m mostly unblocked and will start working on it again very soon (probably starting in July, but I am going to take it one part at a time — there are six […]
If you don’t follow my personal Facebook page, you probably aren’t aware of how much I like the new Aquaman (and if you do follow it, this post probably won’t come as a surprise to you.) Things I also like? Wonder Woman, comic books, and action figures. So when my sister Echo ran across an Aquaman […]
For the PDF: serial-brochure-web Just back from RT, and I got a request for the handout I used in the “Making your serial a killer” panel (which was awesome). Here is the handout — it was originally a tri-fold brochure, but I rearranged the panels so they’re more easily read in JPEG form. YOU CAN CLICK […]
It’s almost that time again! From April 13th-17th, I will be in Las Vegas for the RT Booklovers Convention. I’ll be participating in a panel about writing serials and signing at the giant book fair (since I didn’t sign last year, I’ll be signing THE KRAKEN KING this year). I’ll also be at the Berkley […]
No news! I’m writing, of course. I’m working on a couple of things, though the one I’m most excited about is the barbarians that I hope to have news about by this summer, one way or another. Probably about the time I finish the facelift for the Milla Vane site, which has been fun to […]
I was reminded to update the blog to let you all know what’s going on. Sometimes I forget (mostly because I check in on Facebook and Twitter now and then, but forget about the website because it’s not as interactive.) Right now I’m working, trying to avoid all Star Wars spoilers (I have a ticket […]
So I’ve gotten a couple of emails that are basically: Are you alive? Any news yet? Can you tell us what you’re working on? Answers: Yes! Not really, boo. I can’t yet. I am working and writing every day, but at this point, I’m trying not to jinx myself or do anything stupid like get […]
If I could say one thing to every movie maker telling a story about a mega-disaster, it would be this: don’t put all of your emotional eggs in one small basket. I love disaster flicks, I love the Rock, so of course I went to see San Andreas. I still love disaster flicks, I still […]
This sucks, but I’m tabling the Blacksmith for a little while. I’ve been fighting with the book for months — I like all of the little parts but the little parts aren’t coming together. So that means I’m just going to put it aside until I figure out what’s going wrong, instead of smashing my […]
One of the best things about DABWAHA (voting is here!) is discovering new authors and books. There are often some awesome romances featured that I’ve heard very little about (or that I forgot about by the time I went to the bookstore.) I also often discover that the authors themselves are pretty freaking awesome and […]
So I’d intended to be all RAWR and RELEASE THE KRAKEN! and make a really great gif for today’s battle (WHICH IS RIGHT HERE) but I ran out of time. If The Kraken King makes it through to the next round, I’ll release the kraken from behind this towel, but until then, you’ll just have […]
I’ve gotten a bunch of emails this week about my 2015 release schedule, and my “Upcoming” page was sadly stuck in 2014, so I (kind of) updated that page, finally. Unfortunately, there’s not a lot to tell you yet. Anyway, you don’t have to click over to that page — here is what I wrote. Scheduled […]
What with one thing and another, a conversation on Twitter led up to this: @theeasyvirtue @mostlybree @smexys_sidekick @smexybooks My next hero says it when he unzips his pants. — Meljean Brook (@Meljean) January 5, 2015 But the Blacksmith does not conceal the Goats of War behind his zipper. He doesn’t even HAVE a zipper, because […]
I forgot to say — WRECKED IS FREE! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GXE06JM?tag=melbroaut-20 (If you need an epub version, please contact me http://meljeanbrook.com/contact-meljean/) And I updated my “Covers I Made” page with a few new ones that are among my favorites. Whee! If I ever want to feel really unproductive, I head over to that page and see how many […]
Some day, I might do all of this Milla Vane stuff over at her site. But not today! I’ve written a (kind of) holiday barbarian short story called “Silent Night”! It’s very short. It features a character mentioned in the NIGHT SHIFT story but there are no spoilers, so if you haven’t read that story […]
