The Legends of Red Sonja collected edition is here! I know many of you were waiting for all five issues to be collected in trade paperback format … and that day is here! You can find it at your favorite local comic bookstore, or your favorite other bookstore. For more information about this collection, check […]
There’s a guest post and giveaway up at Paranormal Haven! It’s all about how authors are dirty thieves (okay, so it’s really more of a where-do-you-get-your-ideas post) but there’s also a giveaway! You get a chance to win any one of the Iron Seas books, including The Kraken King! Stephanie also posted her review of […]
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 […]
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 […]
Did you survive Part II? The abominable worm has struck! And as xidtrebor says: @Meljean It’s not the size of the worm, it’s how it wiggles. #KrakenKingpart2 — Robert Dix (@xidtrebor) April 23, 2014 Reviews and Links! I’m making an effort to link to as many reviews on blogs/sites that I can — and of […]
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 […]
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!)
GUARDIAN DEMON is the subject of Dear Author’s August Book Club chat. There’s an interview up now. I won’t be participating in the book club discussion, just so that readers don’t feel stifled by my presence, but if any questions come up during the course of the chat that you’d like me to answer, do […]
I am gone all next week, but I have scheduled in…Guardian Retrospective Posts!! Yay, finally! And GUARDIAN DEMON is almost here! It releases the day after I return, but I’m going to try to check in as much as possible during the vacation. Until then, I have a guest post up at All Things Urban […]
The awesome ladies at RT magazine not only gave RIVETED the Seal of Excellence for September (w00t!) they asked me to write a bit more about Iceland, the setting for the novel. So I did. Probably more than anyone wanted to know. 😀
Whoo! Riveted is mentioned on USA Today’s HEA blog. They contacted me for a tidbit about the book that I haven’t mentioned anywhere else, but I’m guessing because of length constraints it didn’t make it in? Anyway, when you click on the link, just imagine this was included: Volcanoes play an important part in the […]
Happy Labor Day! If you’re in the U.S., I hope you’re having an awesome BBQ and lovely long weekend. My husband and daughter both return to school tomorrow, so it’s a happy, happy day! Oh, yeah — and something else happens tomorrow. RIVETED WILL BE OUT! Not that I’m looking forward to that, too, or […]
I just got back from a weekend camping trip with my family, where my older sister said, “Your new book started off a little slow, but then it was good!” I suspect that this will be true for many readers (er…maybe not the ‘good’ part, but the ‘starting off slow’ part). Actually, when I sent […]
Chelsea from Vampire Book Club is hosting a fabulous charity auction in memory of her father. I’ve donated copies of the UK editions of The Iron Duke and Heart of Steel as part of a larger package, along with a signed set of seven Guardian novels. There are also many more wonderful items – mostly […]
Right here. There’s also a giveaway! Come join us. I’ll be checking in all day on Tuesday (or for as long as people ask me stuff).
…talking about writing historical science fiction through 21st Century goggles. I actually didn’t cover even a portion of what the topic deserves, and I’m open to answering any other questions in the comments — so if you’re interested in writing steampunk (or just want to discuss it a bit as a reader), I’ll be there […]
