Fiction or nonfiction?
99.9% Fiction
What genres do you write?
Romance. I've written a paranormal romance duet and a historical romance standalone (America, 1850's). A dystopian is in the works.
Yeah, I know. My WIPs are all over the time-space continuum. *grin*
Are you published?
Not any of my novels. I wrote a nonfiction piece that was published in a benefit anthology, Overcoming Adversity.
Do you do anything in addition to writing?
I've started doing some freelance editing.

Is there anything else you'd like us to know?
Hmm... I blog a grammar series called Grammar Police Monday.
I participate in Alex J. Cavanaugh's Insecure Writers Support Group the first Wednesday of every month.
I can sometimes be found on Twitter Thursday nights at 9:00 PM EST, taking part in #NALitChat.
I'm willing to host cover reveals and releases for blog buddies as my schedule allows—in fact, I'd host more—but I often don't hear about them until they go live. (Hint: Generate some buzz in advance so we know. ;)
If all goes as planned, I'll soon need some beta readers who like historical romance.
Want to know more? Just ask!
Thanks for visiting. :)

Well Melissa,
ReplyDeleteWhat do you write the other 0.1% of the time? Erotica, I'm guessing.
This is such a fun way to go about and get some basics down on people. There are some writers' names that I don't even know...just their usernames, so this helps.
Although I have a killer editing eye, I didn't put that in my post because I just don't have time.
Off to visit others!

Ha! Fly over to Houston so I can slap you. LOL ...No, wait. You might like that. :P
DeleteI don't have time either, but I enjoy it and I'm saving up for future publishing costs. ;)
Thanks for participating!
I'll make sure I follow you everywhere...
ReplyDeleteLOL
DeleteHi Melissa! Found this via Quanie's post on her blog. Nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteI also write something in between Romance and New Adult :-) Just followed and Liked you on Twitter and FB- have a great day!
Thanks, Deb. :)
DeleteHi Melissa! Once again thanks for organizing. Now off to stalk your social media profiles...
ReplyDeleteStalkers welcome. :)
DeleteThis was a great idea, Melissa. One of the things I plan to do this week is to see how everyone else utilizes social media on their blogs. I usually never pay attention to that, so this is a great wake up call.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ken. Sometimes our blogs need a makeover - social media or otherwise. ;)
DeleteExcited to hear about the dystopian you have in the mix. Looking forward to hearing more about it. I'm as linked to you as I can get online. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks again for putting this Follow Fest together!
Me, too! Although I'm not sure if people will think it's bizarre-brilliant or bizarre-sicko. LOL
DeleteYou're welcome! I'm having fun with Follow Fest. :)
Hi Melissa. I think I already follow/connect with you everywhere, but I'll check.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog fest!
Thanks!
DeleteOoo...historical romance is one of my favorites :) Thanks for running this. It's a great idea!
ReplyDeleteReally? Do you beta? LOL
DeleteThanks!
Dystopian? Nice. I'm following you on Twitter now, and I added you on Goodreads as well. Thanks for organizing this cyber meet-and-greet!
ReplyDeleteGreat!
DeleteYou're welcome. :)
Such an awesome idea, Melissa. I was already a fan, but I loved reading all about you here, too. Off to start stalking... ;)
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks.
DeleteStalk to your heart's content. :)
Woot! Excited to share my post tomorrow! :) I'll be making the rounds between now and then.
ReplyDeleteWoot! :D
DeleteI like that name badge of yours. I wish I had thought of that. Well I'm going to follow your Grammar Police Mondays. I am turning myself in to you officer Melissa!
ReplyDeleteThanks. That was my lame attempt at a graphic. Carrie Butler does it way better. :)
DeleteHi Melissa! Nice to meet you. (;
ReplyDeleteWhy, Elise, it's nice to meet you, too. :P
DeleteThis blog fest was just a great idea Melissa. I happened upon it yesterday and signed up straight away. I am still figuring out all the ways to utilize blogging and blog fests are one of my favs, so thank you so much for this.
ReplyDeleteGreat! I'm glad you decided to participate. :)
DeleteSo glad to find your blog and this fest! Your 1850s Historical Romance novel sounds great. Looking forward to following. Thanks for organizing this ( :
ReplyDeleteHistorical Romance is my favorite.
DeleteGlad we met. :)
Not sure if my previous comment went through...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm pretty much following you everywhere already.
LOL
DeleteSame here. ;)
Finally found your Follow Fest post! Glad to learn more about you and to follow you even more. :) Writer’s Mark
ReplyDeleteMelissa, thank you for encouraging me to join the follow fest. It's been fantastic!!
ReplyDelete@Nancy - I'm glad you found it. :)
Delete@Cathrina - Thank you! I'm glad you joined us, too. :)
I am definitely a romance fan, though I prefer a bit of 'grit' in my romance stories, and I don't REQUIRE the complete HEA as in marriage, babies, etc. Just the promise of eternal happiness you can imagine on your own. :D Then again there are some stories that I really wanted to witness the full shebang for - like with TV shows spanning 7 seasons, things like that. You really want to see it all happen after THAT long of a wait. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I have a fascination with dystopians, but I've never managed to complete a novel in that genre yet.
Agreed. Sometimes it gets old with the marriage and then a epilogue with the birth of a baby. As long as it's a satisfying and fitting (to the story) HEA, I'm happy. :)
DeleteNice to meet you Melissa, and thanks for putting this event together.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Skye. I enjoyed meeting you, too. :)
DeleteThanks, Melissa, for this fun blog hop. It's been great meeting everyone! I love how your stories are all over the place and am looking forward to seeing one of your novels published soon :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. Me, too! LOL
DeleteNow I follow you, thanks for the fest Mel.
