The A Spooky Games Club Mystery Box Set Gets a New Look!

Thanks to book designer Ali Lawson, the first box set in the A Spooky Games Club Mystery series has a new look! In addition to the cartoon-ish look I went with for the individual books, this kind of more “realistic” look is also popular in the genre. See Dahlia and Broomie in 3D!

Read the box set for free in Kindle Unlimited!

FANGS & FINS Is Out!

Fangs&Fins_3DRenderPaperback

The first book in my new series is now available! Free on Kindle Unlimited, the Kindle version is only 99 cents for purchase through May 7th only.

Paperbacks are trickling into major outlets. They’re up on Amazon and Barnes & Noble right now. You can also order a signed paperback copy direct from Snowy Wings Publishing! If you don’t see it at your favorite retailer, ask for it by name. They should be able to order it for you soon!

Here’s what some readers are saying:

“I devoured this first installment quickly, and I look forward to more in the future… McNulty does a superb job with this speculative fiction, raising questions about allegiance and making the choices best for yourself or those you care about. It will grip you and keep you wanting more.”

“This particular author likes to throw out little nuggets of truth mixed in with misdirection so you think you have the story predicted, and you THINK you have the characters down, but really you know nothing! LOL I can’t wait for book 2!!”

“All the characters were fantastically written… Left with so many questions and shocking details I can’t wait for the next book in the series. This one was so good, if I wasn’t so busy I could have read it in one sitting.”

The Sleeping Ancient Cover Reveal!

The final book in Melissa Giorgio‘s Smoke and Mirrors fantasy series is out in May–and today’s the reveal of this gorgeous cover! *-*

The Sleeping Acient_Final-ebooklg

Blurb (SPOILERS AHEAD):

The unthinkable has happened: A dragon was slain, her death used to free the three most powerful and dangerous magicians in the world, and Irina was powerless to stop it. Now she must pick up the broken pieces and prepare for a battle she seems destined to lose.

But all is not lost.

Hope comes in the form of Nerine, a girl from a faraway land, and her army of dragons. Irina and Nerine know the only way to win this is to work together by uniting their ragtag team of friends, which is easier said than done. Tensions flare, dark secrets from their pasts are revealed, and tears are shed as the heroes struggle to put aside their differences and decide on their next course of action.

The road forward is not easy. In Irina’s most dangerous adventure yet, she travels to lands both new and familiar, learning to accept the fledging magic that’s inside of her. In a race against time, with more than one life at stake, failure is not an option.

When the curtain falls on the final Smoke and Mirrors book, who will be left to take a bow?

The Whispering Echoes is here!

Melissa Giorgio

the-whispering-echoes-final-ebooklg

Today’s the day! Irina’s story continues in THE WHISPERING ECHOES, the third full length novel in the SMOKE AND MIRRORS series!

Purchase the ebook here! The paperback is coming soon. I’ll add links as soon as it’s available!

I’ve been pretty quiet about this book because I don’t want to spoil anything, especially for those of you that haven’t read the earlier books. But I can say that I enjoyed writing this one and as of right now, it’s probably my favorite in the series. It’s crazy how different this book is from what I originally planned. And that’s mostly thanks to BY THE MORNING LIGHT. (Have you read that yet? If not, I strongly suggest reading it BEFORE you dive into THE WHISPERING ECHOES!) I love Claudette and Emile, and I’m so happy they were able to join Irina on her journey.

I really hope you enjoy this one!

My Reads for 2016

A few years ago, I started a tradition of listing all of the books I’ve read (not including manga or graphic novels, of which I’ve read a lot!) as a sort of memento of the fictional worlds I’ve been to throughout the year. I don’t keep my Goodreads profile updated with all of these reads because I don’t feel right doling out public criticisms of books as an author myself. This year, I decided to include the client books I’ve read as well (but only revealing the names of the books that have been announced, of course) because they should certainly count toward my total!

I know there are a few days left in the year, but I’m only halfway through a long book, so I won’t be reading any others!

Expected publication: October 25th 2016 by Patchwork Press

I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review. 


About the book:

Men can love, but they can also hate. Noll knows too well that the men in her village have adjusted poorly to the freedom of their hearts, but she hopes to bring peace back to her community. With the lord’s return, Noll feels confident that together, they can work to settle down the villagers, but in his rebirth, he remembers only one thing about her: that she caused the curse that tortured him for a millennium in the first place.
Determined to start anew, Noll must accept that, romantically, she and the lord are better without one…
