Hi Readers, How are you handling things? We’re handling this the way we handle everything–with lots of magical mayhem. That’s kind of our thing though. We hope you and your loved ones are well.

Interview with the Dragon

Hi Readers, We, the fictional characters who star in Melinda Kucsera’s books, hope you’re taking precautions to stay as safe as you can during this public health crisis. If you’re wondering how we’re coping, well, as you can imagine, some characters are handling this better than others. But we are all keeping our distance. It’s hardest on me, your host, Ran, the talkative, and I hope, likable, son of my very magical Papa, Sarn. I like people; I like hugs. I prefer to be carried when Papa and I are on adventures, but I have to keep at least six … Continue reading Interview with the Dragon

Working From Home – Day 1

Working from home day 1 — I survived. It was so hard. With two exceptions, everyone was like, “oh no, let’s not have a call to TALK about this. Let’s just chat in MS Teams.” So, I basically wrote a novel in MS Teams chat and Upwork messages today…not to mention the updates I added to the project system. If only these words were for a novel… lol Well, onward, back to either His Angelic Keeper: Hidden or A Spell of Cloaks & Crystals or Curse Breaker: Hidden. Or maybe I’ll live dangerously and write something on all three!I’m trying … Continue reading Working From Home – Day 1

Wayward Magic on the Loose

She just sent that file to the formater! Yay! What’s Wayward Magic about? Well, it contains within its magical pages another story about Thing and his mate, Amal. You guessed it. They’re in trouble again. (No surprise there. His Orneriness excels at getting in trouble.)

No Accounting for Characters

Well, another week is almost over.1. I learned how to send author copies from Amazon to other authors. I didn’t know I could do that.2. I wrote scenes for: Curse Breaker: Hidden (Curse Breaker, Book 6) Rogue Rescue (Robin of Larkspur, book 4) Rogue Gift (Robin of Larkspur, book 5) Storm of Spells (Curse Breaker’s Companion, Book 1) Robin is annoyed at me because I didn’t work on book 3, Rogue Ranger. That book has to come out before books 4 & 5, and I get that. But books 4, 5 & 6 of her series tie directly into Curse … Continue reading No Accounting for Characters

It’s Done!

Finished! It didn’t end where I wanted it to. The characters didn’t do what I wanted them to do either. I like where this story went. I’m just annoyed I can’t follow it up with the story I wanted to tell because they didn’t set that one up. No, I have to finish what they started in this one then build the next conflict. 😬 I’m certain they planned it that way just to get a couple more sequels than I’d planned. The nerve of those characters. Get “Spell of Scales & Steel” in the anthology, Forgotten Magic. Go to … Continue reading It’s Done!

Would you give us some stars?

Hi Readers! It’s your friendly fictional character, Ran, Sarn’s son, and I’m back with good news. Melinda is finishing up Spell of Scales & Steel for the Forgotten Magic Anthology today then moving onto Curse Breaker: Hidden! You can’t see it, but I’m holding a list of demands for that book in my hot little hands. Since the next big story arc in the Curse Breaker series is all about me, I stand a good chance of getting all my demands met. 🙂 Papa might not enjoy that experience, but he needs to broaden his horizons. I also have review … Continue reading Would you give us some stars?
