I just realized that I never updated my blog here with the news. Vengeance has a new title and release date! A generation past, the western realms were embroiled in endless war. Then the Destroyer came. From the blood and ashes he left behind, a tenuous alliance rose between the barbarian riders of Parsathe and […]
So…yeah. In August, I was all “who wants to review my barbarian novella that should be done September-ish?!” and a bunch of people signed up* and I was all whee, yay, Meljean is coming out with something soon, even if she calls herself Milla. NOW IT’S 2017 And VENGEANCE is not a novella anymore. (Raise your […]
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 […]
I see that Ilona and Lisa already posted this — and this really isn’t mine, but belongs to my barbarian-writing alter-ego, Milla Vane. But she’s such a n00b that I’m posting a few things for her until her site is a little better. This is coming November 25th! Here’s the anthology description: Four masters of […]
When THE KRAKEN KING comes out as a single release, one of the eight serial covers will be used as the main cover. I think that Berkley has already picked out the one that they will use, but I thought it would be fun to see which covers were everyone’s favorites. If you had to […]
If you’d like to see what I came up with on those covers — and enter a contest for another poster! — check out my post at I Smell Sheep! (and don’t forget to check out the I Smell Sheep review for The Kraken King, Parts 1-3!)
Guess what’s out next week?!! Not that I’m excited! 😀 For fun, I’ve decided to animate bits of each serial cover for its release week. I’ll be writing up a post later about the animation process itself, but for now, I’m wondering: What should be out the window? Cover #1, the fire (as on the […]
Today all eight (!) covers for the serial editions of THE KRAKEN KING were released at Heroes & Heartbreakers, The Book Cellar, and Literary Escapism! I love these so much — go and take a look and tell me what you think! As a heads-up, because a couple of people have asked — the people […]
FAQ: Do I do cover work for hire? Since my name showed up in the credits of Jen Frederick’s UNDECLARED, I’ve gotten a few questions about cover art that I’ve been doing — I don’t do it for hire, I’m sorry! It’s just something that I play with when I have a little time (not […]
This is for the October digital release for Here There Be Monsters … and is probably my favorite Iron Seas cover yet, lol. I asked for tentacle … and I got it! 😀 What do you think?
I’m still in a writing cave, which is a cave at home, too (a.k.a. my desk, surrounded by stalagmites of stacked Red Bull cans). Except for when we’re in a car, that means my husband and I speak to each other more over e-mail than we do face to face. But really, who needs face […]
I’m not sure that I ever posted the cover to ENTHRALLED, the anthology coming in July and that features an Iron Seas story, Salvage. I’ve put up a page here for it, along with a short excerpt (which includes pretty much my favorite first line I’ve ever written). We briefly met the hero of Salvage […]
I’m still in my cave, so this isn’t an “I’m back!” post, but I wanted to say THANK YOU! to everyone who came to the signing in Bellevue this weekend. I had a really fabulous time seeing familiar readers and authors and meeting new ones, and for everyone who is trying the Iron Seas for […]
I heart Cliff Nielsen because of these: And now this: And just in case you were wondering what it was about, here is the back cover copy: In this thrilling conclusion to the Guardian series, New York Times bestselling author Meljean Brook delivers another stunning page-turner, in which the fate of humanity depends upon a […]
First: I have a new RSS feed. If you prefer to read this in your feed reader, you will need to update your subscription. First Point Five: If you are in the Seattle area, I posted information about this week’s signing/forum below, plus a link to The Iron Duke discussion in Felicia Day’s Vaginal Fantasy […]
I’m still in my writing cave, but am poking out my head for a few minutes to post the cover for the third book in the Iron Seas series, Riveted. I love it to pieces (and I also love the new look for the series!) I’ve received a few questions regarding this book, so here’s […]
