First Loves and First Interviews

Melinda Kucsera

What drew you to the First Love anthology? I’d been bugging my scribe, Melinda Kucsera, for years to write the story of how I met my best friend. (He’s also my first love.) Since Melinda’s not here right now to answer these questions, I’m answering them for her. Don’t worry. She’s fine and currently working at her day job. In fact, she has no idea I’m answering these questions for her. But the cast of the Curse Breaker series, of which my story is but a small part, usually doesn’t let her answer these kinds of questions. We know the … Continue reading First Loves and First Interviews

That Sneak!

Melinda Kucsera

Hi all,   Sorry, we’ve been so quiet.   First Love launches on Feb. 28, 2019, and it features the story of how Papa and Shade met. It’s a sweet tale because Papa was a sweet teenager and nothing like his angst-riddled, often adversarial younger brother, my Uncle Miren. 😉   (Don’t tell him I said he was angsty or adversarial.)   As part of the launch, there will be a Facebook party. Unfortunately, that party will be held while our scribe is at work. It’s review work there, and we’re camping out in her office to support her. She’s … Continue reading That Sneak!

Robin is Coming

Melinda Kucsera

New covers!   Our scribe bought this beauty this week for a steal!   This story is actually part of the Curse Breaker series. It stars a young papa, me (as the kidnapped baby), and Robin, a lady archer who’s also missing her daughter.   She and Papa team up to save us kids from the Wild Hunt.   Hunter’s Night will also be the first book in Robin’s breakaway series. Our scribe wanted to do a mother-daughter adventure series and riff on the whole Robin Hood thing.   I mean, we kind of have to do it.   We … Continue reading Robin is Coming

Save us from the Dragon and her Amorous Intentions!

Melinda Kucsera

Hi all,   We hope you’re staying warm (if you, like us, are in the northern hemisphere) and cool if you’re down under where it’s summertime now.   We’ve come today to ask for advice. We have a tricky problem, and we don’t know how to solve it.   What’s the problem?   Our Newsletter-Dragon. She keeps escaping from her cyberverse and snuggling up to the boiler that’s heating the apartment building where our scribe lives and where I’m writing to beseech you for aid.   (Thank you to Uncle Miren for supplying the cool word I just used.)   … Continue reading Save us from the Dragon and her Amorous Intentions!

Misbehaving Magic

Melinda Kucsera

Hi Readers, We hope you enjoyed the coloring page we sent last week. Our friend Athena was kind enough to point out that I can’t trace myself because I’m three-dimensional. 0_o I’d have to be two-dimensional for the tracing thing to work as planned. Bummer. I wonder why a certain uncle who brought the tracing paper didn’t mention that. And why my beloved Papa let his magic kick those papers around the room. Though, I did enjoy running after them. I am a fictional little kid after all. Our cave isn’t that big, so they couldn’t go far. I cornered … Continue reading Misbehaving Magic
