About Melonie Purcell
As a Las Vegas native--a rare species to be sure--Melonie grew up riding horses in the Nevada desert, camping and fishing her way through the state of Utah and chasing reptiles in Arizona.
As an adult, she still traipses around the desert and the mountains, but now she does it in cooler shoes, a better backpack and usually carrying a camera.

Blog postTaymar jolted upright at the sound of the door sliding open, cracking her head against the ceiling. As if her headache wasn’t already bad enough. And how had she managed to drift off to sleep anyhow? Who sleeps on an enemy ship? Well, maybe the Shreet weren’t really her enemy. Or were they? Who knew?… Read More »Dagger of Drani – Sample Chapter 1

Blog postSo, book covers are a strange thing. I think the short version is that authors know what they like as a reader, and they assume everyone out there likes the same thing. On the other hand, artists and designers know what attracts readers and aren’t overly emotional about any particular scene out of the… Read More »Birth of a book cover – Part 2

Steel and Claw: World of Kyrni Book II
Nov 2, 2020
$3.99
Transforming herself into a gryphon is great.
Transforming into a gryphon that does more falling than flying... not so much.
Being transformed into the hope of the Empire... worst EVER!
Krea's mentor, Sorin, is determined to help her accept her destiny despite her obvious lack of qualification... or enthusiasm. To be fair, the alternative ends poorly.
Now all they have to do is figure out where the elves are hiding her friend Dane, rescue his little wizard butt whether he likes it or not and save the realm. No problem. If only the water wasn't attacking them. And the caves weren't trying to bury them. Oh. And would someone please stop sending assassins?

Steal the bag. Don’t get caught. Repeat. Not the most glorious existence, but Krea likes it just fine.
When Sorin, a cranky old soldier, barges in and decides to take over her life, Krea is less than enthused. Sure, he saved her from a brutal death at the hands of the guards, and he did stop decrepit faerie monsters from eating her. But declaring she isn’t human and dragging her through a cursed forest to the Royal City is going too far.
Now, she is eyeball deep in magic wielding nobles, shapeshifting dragons, assassins and an ancient elf war that could destroy the Empire. Her cloak is too small. Her horse thinks she wants to eat it and her companion resents her very existence.
And then there’s Dane.
