Go ahead and have at it! I’ll check in now and again to see if anyone has questions (but I won’t give any spoilers for upcoming episodes, sorry!) But if you’re wondering about the world, the story format, or anything else, I’m game. (If you want a discussion forum that doesn’t include my contributions or […]
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 […]
If you’ve been following along every week, then the end is finally here! And if you’ve been waiting until all of the parts are available, they are now! (I don’t yet know when the compiled version will be available. I will put that information on my “Upcoming” page as soon as I know it.) So […]
This post is going to have a few spoilers for the movie and probably needs trigger warnings for the topic of sexual assault. You know that moment when you see a movie that you want to be great — and in some ways it is great! — but not all ways? That was me, watching Maleficent. This […]
The lost history of the Iron Seas Okay, so it’s not really lost! It just hasn’t been explicitly stated in the books. Jen Twimom of That’s What I’m Talking About sent me a few questions about the relationship between Nippon, the Golden Empire, and the rebellion … and I took a few pages to answer […]
Here we are. It’s almost all over. After today, just one week left. This is the longest part, almost 30,000 words, because a lot happens to our heroes in this installment. Not all of it is good. It also ends on a cliffhanger. You might want to kill me when you finish it. But hang […]
Hey, everyone! This is just to let you know that both FIRE & FROST and WILD & STEAMY will be available through June, and then we are going to take the anthologies off sale. All of the individual novellas will still be available! Just not available as a package. (You can see THE BLUSHING BOUNDER here […]
I’m so, so behind! I’m trying to catch up over the next few days, but for now, I’ll just say: You are all wonderful and amazing. And Part VI is here! The Kraken King and the Crumbling Walls Warning! This description might contain spoilers for previous installments! Reunited, Ariq and Zenobia must journey over the […]
Whee! So I love giant monster movies, and I realized that Godzilla is coming out during RT. A few of us on Facebook briefly talked about getting together, but it wasn’t until the awesome Pia found a nearby theater that any plans were actually made. So! If anyone wants to go to a late showing […]
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 […]
I’ll be at the Book Fair, of course, but I’m also on a few panels and attending a steampunk party. All the information is here on my events and signings page. If you have any questions or would try to arrange a certain time to say Hi! … I’m up for it! but it’s always […]
Hello to the future! This is Meljean, scheduling a post in the past while I’m in my finishing-up-this-book-cave! Because you know what today is? It’s the day that SOMEONE is inevitably abducted! (And the title of this post is just because I realized that many readers were assuming that the guy on the cover was […]
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 […]
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 […]
Okay, yeah, that title is a total tease. But I’ve gotten several e-mails from readers asking me about the length of the story parts, because there is concern about how much story they are going to get. That’s fair; I should have listed this before. I would want to know what I’m paying for, too. […]
It’s Tuesday, and you know what that means — the newest installment of THE KRAKEN KING is here! They’ve survived the marauders’ attack, they’ve survived a boilerworm…but can they survive the smugglers’ dens? The Kraken King and the Fox’s Den Warning! This description might contain spoilers for previous installments! After a harrowing escape, Zenobia, Ariq, […]
