So… how did you like Ariq’s vow? And thank you. Swoon seemed to be the response of the week after readers hit the end of Part IV. That was one of my favorite scenes to write, ever. A part of me wondered: Is this over-the-top? But the rest of me just didn’t care. We’re halfway through […]
We’re almost to the halfway mark! How’s everyone holding on? It has been a busy week at Blog le Meljean. In case you missed it, I listed the word/page count for each part here, so you know how much story you’re paying for. We’re talking about cliffhangers here, and we’re picking our favorite of the […]
Whoosh! It’s already the weekend! In a few short days, Part II of THE KRAKEN KING will be hitting your e-readers. I don’t plan to post any long excerpts because they will be terrible spoilers, but… I guess there might be a little something at the end of this post that shouldn’t spoil the action […]
I put an excerpt up on the book page! (If you have the ebook for Here There Be Monsters, it’s the same one!) Only one month to go until Part 1! 🙂
Many of you read this in the back of Tethered, but for those who haven’t had a chance yet… I’ve added the first chapter of Guardian Demon to its website page. Warnings! There are SPOILERS for previous books in the series in this excerpt. And just so you know, it ends on a cliffhanger…and it […]
Not out of cave yet. But since the world might end soon, I thought I’d schedule in a little excerpt to carry you through the apocalypse. Or maybe this is a Christmas present? Either way, avoid the zombies! SPOILER WARNING – ESPECIALLY FOR THE END OF DEMON MARKED! This is from Chapter 1. Taylor is […]
About two weeks ago I sent in my cover notes for Guardian Demon, so we’ll probably see the cover within a month or two. I’m not really sure what it will look like. I really love the heroine-covers from the last few books in the series, but this is the final book in the series, […]
Okay, after my weenie wafflings earlier today, I posted the first chapter of RIVETED. Like all of my books, it’s heavy on worldbuilding and starts off slow. But I promise it picks up! Here is the excerpt. And, because this is such a weenie post, here’s a photo of one of the locations in the […]
RIVETED’S typeset pages are back to my publisher, which means the next time I see them they’ll be part of a book. That also means I’ll probably put up an excerpt soon — of course, this is always a crazy, awful decision-time for me, because I never know whether to just post the first chapter […]
The Love Story of a Girl and a Sucker Those of you on Facebook have probably seen bits of my Endless Vacuum War. I’ve gone through three vacuums in two years, and each one clogged/burned out the motor/died in some horrible way. On Facebook, I lamented on their crappiness often. About two weeks ago, I […]
…is up on the book page. I probably should be cooler and put up lots of tidbits, but the truth is, I never know what bits to pick. I could mention that I considered making most of Ash’s speech out of song lyrics, but a) there would probably be rights and usage issues, and b) […]
The Book Smugglers are having a steampunk week over at their blog. I’ve gotten a ton of questions about What Steampunk Is, and this might be a great place to start for those of you still wondering: The Introduction (and Primer) ETA: And this, Bloggers Talk Steampunk. And for a look at how I am […]
…I’m at Odd Shots, talking about the music for the Guardian series. And in case you missed it, I put up an excerpt for Demon Blood (it does include spoilers for Demon Forged, so if you haven’t read that yet, be warned.) Here’s a snippet from the Burning Up novella (I am LOVING the steampunk, […]
Oh, wow. I can’t believe Demon Forged releases in only a few weeks. So here is a little bit (from a few chapters in, to avoid spoilers). *** Their argument hadn’t gone unnoticed. Beyond the mouth of the hallway, Becca sat curled on one of the common room sofas, pretending to read. Though the novice’s […]
If you aren’t sure if the name is yours (more than one Sarah, for example) you can check the comment number listed — and if you still aren’t sure, e-mail me, and I’ll see if your e-mail is the same for that comment. I will be sending an e-mail out to all of the winners…soon. […]
I know I said I’d give 24 hours notice that I’m closing the contests, but I just realized that WordPress automatically closes the comments after a certain length of time, so some people haven’t been able to enter. So I’m going to be closing both on Monday night at midnight, which gives everyone a little […]
