I just got in my first bound copies of DEMON ANGEL! I’ll admit I teared up a little. I’m such a weenie. I didn’t take pictures, though, because my house is a mess and I didn’t want to spend any time Photoshopping pictures from HGTV.com into the background. There are tiny changes from the first […]
To give you an idea of how scatterbrained I am: Today’s my sixth wedding anniversary, and I completely forgot until my mother-in-law reminded me, and asked if Bobby and I were doing anything special tonight (short answer: no; long answer: well, I’m going to make chicken spaghetti (which is item #4 on my 6-item-food-repertoire (not […]

…okay, actually, she wrote “Demon Angel by Meljean Brook is powerful, beautiful, and absolutely breathtaking.” But taking a quote out of context is a time-honored tradition! And I, for one, like both versions. I’m a perpetual lurker at Gena’s blog, because she’s writes faster than … well, maybe not Le Nora, but pretty darn close […]

I finished the “coming soon” page, which is of course just DEMON ANGEL. But it has a bonus excerpt. If you like that kind of thing. — ETA: Crap. I hadn’t checked my main site in IE7 before tonight. The layout is broken all over the place — and none of the pages centered. Grr. […]
CONTEST TIME AGAIN! I received a few ARCs from my publisher, and the one I’d marked for AAR … well, they already have a copy. So I unexpectedly have a print ARC to send to one lucky winner! I do want to live up the the ARC name, though, and make it serve its purpose […]
I have ripped apart my proposal for the third time now — this will be my last time. I was allowing myself some leeway with time while the agent stuff was all squared away, but now that I’ve got the agent/author agreement and am sending it out and everything’s official, I need to give her […]
…but I think it’s okay because, although it’s on a blog, there really can’t be any discussion yet. But Tara Marie said about DEMON ANGEL, I for one loved it. It’s a page turner. You’ve a fabulous writing style and distinct voice. And, your world building is amazing. I rarely visualize characters as I read, […]
I haven’t finished it yet, but … yeah. I also can’t believe it took me this long to pick it up. I bought it about two months ago, but then got caught up in other stuff, and it went missing for a little while. But. Yeah. It puts me vaguely in mind of Nabokov, and […]
Where are Lilith, Hugh, and Colin five years later? Here’s a little bit from DEMON ANGEL (Warning: includes SPOILERS! for “Falling for Anthony”)

I was able to read Demon Angel last saturday and I was honestly blown away. It isn’t at all a perfect book but for the first full length novel from a new author it gets close. And Meljean takes the paranormal genre and makes it her own. I haven’t been this excited about a series […]
I guess because it’s so long, and the production costs are higher. Whoops. If you pre-ordered at $6.99, there’s still two months to cancel. But it’s still a good deal. I’ll break it down: F-words per dollar: about 4 Sex scenes per dollar: about .5 Demons per dollar: about 8,089,008 Blood per dollar: about 35 […]
So, I was going through the galley proofs and entering the changes I’d written on the page into my MS Word manuscript — 65 of the pages needed changes. Some of the changes were dates and numbers. One of the things I realized (after copy-editing) was that a secondary character’s age needed to be reduced […]
I’m at the point where I’m really, really getting into the new story (but mostly in my head). I’ve got pages filled with notes about the story and the series, but not much in the writing department yet (ETA: I just saw that Marjorie Liu describes a method very similar to what I did to […]
