State of the Mel #3
Every so often I do one of these posts, mostly for new followers at various places to catch folks up on who I am, what I do and an update for everyone on what I'm working on. So ... Who am I? I'm Melanie Scott (most commonly answering to Mel). I write books....
Sunday snippets
Well, we are, amazingly, three months out from The Shattered Court which is the first book in my new fantasy series and three months and one week out from Lawless in Leather, so I thought I'd share a snippet from one or the other each Sunday until then. So here's the...

Monday tunes
Monday requires a fun song. This one is on high rotation on my iTunes since it came out. I am a big T Swift fan. She writes some great lyrics and damned catchy melodies. Plus she's kicking butt, so go girl! This isn't the official video of this song but is too...
An unexpected journey into watercolours
So here's the thing, books and writing and reading will always be my first love. But these days, writing in particular is also a job. So I needed something to do just for the sheer fun of it again. I knit but knitting generally takes a fair whack of time to finish a...
