Short Bio
In Her Own Words
I am a freelance writer with a BA in Mass Communication-Journalism from the University of South Florida. I have been writing web copy for over three years.

"The Chosen" is my first book, and was released on December 14, 2010, to my delight. I have written three more books since: "My Open Heart," an autobiography of growing up with heart disease.

NEW EDITION!
RE-RELEASING WITH A BEAUTIFUL NEW COVER!
Synopsis:
During
a time of celebration for The Chosen, a mysterious force appears on
Phantasma, threatening to destroy Nature and all of her creatures.
Will The Chosen find and defeat this force and save Nature
before it’s too late?
Excerpt:
Suddenly,
as if someone had cast a freeze spell, everything stopped. As
everyone looked around, they saw the shamans and druids gather
together nervously and look up at the sky. Everyone else’s eyes
focused upwards to see what was going on; chatter and screams could
be heard as the sky suddenly darkened out of nowhere. Day became
night in an instant. Now in a near panic, everyone shouted out
assumptions.
“It’s
Gastle! He’s back!”
“That’s impossible! This must be a new monster.”
“Perhaps
it’s Gastle’s descendants seeking revenge for his death.”
“Or
an old enemy trying to replace him on the throne.”
“Everyone,
please, stay calm,” Striker spoke up. As the head of The Chosen, he
normally took command, and it was accepted by those around him.
“Let’s try to get some answers before we make assumptions.” He
turned to the druids and shamans, who talked animatedly with each
other while they pointed to the dark sky. “Red, any idea what this
is?”
“It’s
definitely not Gastle, or any other creature in Phantasma. There’s
something off with the elements. Whatever caused this is a natural
entity, and comes directly from Nature herself. There is a definite
shift, and it’s unbalanced. We can all sense it.”
“Any
idea what it could be?”
“No,
but the strongest feelings we received are coming from the North, in
the Polard region. We need to go there and see the situation for
ourselves.”
Halli
glanced at Queen Laurali who stood nearby and listened to the
conversation between Striker and Red. The queen came toward the
group, and Halli knew what she would say.
“I
know this is a day of great celebration,” the Queen said, “but
under the circumstances, I think it would be best if The Chosen
headed out at once to seek some answers.” She turned toward the
bride and groom. “Halli and Silvor, I will send a replacement
healer and mage, of course, so you two can start your honeymoon.
Until we know more, there’s no reason for you to cancel your
plans.” But Halli and Silvor wouldn’t hear of it.
“We
go with our family,” Silvor said. Halli nodded in agreement. “We
can celebrate our honeymoon once we know what’s happened.”
Queen
Laurali bowed her respect to them.
“Very
well,” she said. “The Chosen, in its entirety, will head out
right away toward Polard to see what you can find out. You may change
in my tower while your horses are prepared.”

- I received a copy of The Chosen by the author in exchange for honest review.
I first want to say that I loved this book. I loved the way it was written and the way it caught my attention right when I started the book. It was one that couldn't put down and when I had to I couldn't wait to get back in it. I loved that had a steady pace to it. I love that it was easy to read. Some fantasy novels can be long and over drawn, but this was the perfect length. It wasn't to long or to short, it was perfect. I can't wait until I get my hands on the next book. 5 ***** Melanie–Amazon - Meet Nature, a young girl who needs to appreciate where she is right now.
