Mostly, my books and the process of getting them on the shelves.
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
THE STEAMPUNK ADVENTURE CONTINUES!

For […]
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’ve been resisting that SO MUCH. But you know it had to come sometime. And what better day than today? This is going to be a two-month long journey from beginning to end. I know this is a new format for everyone, and it’s set in a different part of the Iron Seas world, with […]

Because it’s tangentially related to The Kraken King, I’m putting Wrecked at 99c for the next month or so. And that way, if anyone missed the sale last year for Fire & Frost at 99c, you can pick the story up for a low price. You don’t have to read Wrecked to understand and/or enjoy […]
So the cover copy for all eight parts of The Kraken King is up on bookseller sites (and I’ll soon be adding it to the book page here) but I just want to offer a quick warning: the later descriptions include spoilers for the direction of the story! So if you plan to read the […]

Red Sonja at Newsarama There’s an interview up at Newsarama about my upcoming story in Legends of Red Sonja. But really, the real reason to read it isn’t for me. It’s for Tamora Pierce (!!!! My story is in a comic with Tamora Pierce’s!!!) and a preview of the awesome artwork. Individual Novella Releases Coming […]
This is cool — I went to an event today hosted by Jan’s Paperbacks (an awesome local romance-friendly indie bookstore), which has partnered with Kobo to offer ebooks through independent bookstores to give readers more purchasing options, and that also allow them to support local businesses. As part of the promotion, I have a coupon […]
