Hi Readers! CURSE BREAKER: DARKENS is out now! Get your copy now. I’ll wait. Last week,  I lunged at the short man searching for a place to put his book. When I say ‘short,’ I mean it. Jerlo is five feet nothing. I take after my dad, so I’m a giant in comparison. (I’m Ran, son of Sarn, remember?) So I tower about a foot and half over Jerlo’s head, and that height gives me reach. I seize his ankle as he sprints past. “I heard you conned my scribe into writing a book about you! What’s this book about?” Jerlo … Continue reading Go Darker! Curse Breaker 2: Darkens is out now!

Hi Readers! It’s Ran, the lovable son of Sarn, writing you again from the future!) Where we last left off, I was in Amazon Land chasing that wily commander of the Rangers, Jerlo. Every second I knelt there, the towers of ebooks grew taller. New books flashed into existence and older ones jockeyed for space in an endless dance of words. I stared entranced by the sight until a spiked heel landed on my thigh. “Hey!” I shoved the boot off me toppling a lean shadow onto the ground beside me. “What did you do that for?” asked the boy … Continue reading Watch Out! Rogue Scribe on the Loose!

So do we! Hi all! This is Ran, son of Sarn, writing on behalf of my fellow characters and our lovely—ahem—imprisoned scribe. We—okay—I might have locked her in her apartment (no ivory towers were available on short notice) with no internet access or phone service so she can work on Curse Breaker: Faceted which is now the sequel to Curse Breaker: Darkens. But I’m not here to talk about CB:D. I’m here to announce the winners of our first ever character-run contest! Huzzah to the winners: Mary Potter Rebecca Andreasen Wayne Hall Terry Easom Kelly McDaniel Monica Ledford If you happen to see … Continue reading Everyone loves a winner!

(Curse Breaker: Darkens takes place 2 weeks after Curse Breaker: Enchanted which is on sale thru 7/17 for $1 @ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072PW47JQ ) What’s CB:D About — In a land where magic is their only hope, can a man of faith triumph? A body and a book are unaccounted for. Both belonged to a vanquished demon, but neither were found when the dust cleared. The question of what happened to them prods Jerlo to seek out the one person he swore he’d never speak to—a man everyone thinks is … Continue reading Curse Breaker: Darkens

Hi Readers! Thank you, thank you, thank you for the reviews! If you haven’t yet written one, but have a moment to, please consider saying a few words about how awesome we are so other readers will give us a chance. It means the world to us. When you last saw us, we were wandering around in Amazon land.  (We’re still here by the way.)  While we were gone, Jerlo, yes that Jerlo, the commander of the Rangers at Mount Eredren, went off and had his own adventure. And he kidnapped our author so she could faithfully scribe is exploits. He … Continue reading He Went on His Own Adventure. How Rude!

Hello Readers! It’s been awhile since I jumped into the ongoing conversation (story?). This is Melinda, the author of the Curse Breaker Saga, and I’m here to thank you for your support, your time and most of all, for reading my stories. Thank you. I created Sarn’s world (though not Sarn himself) when I was very young—well before I started school. And I’ve carried it with me since then. The characters in those tales were my dearest friends and writing about them filled the lonely hours after school. As I grew, those stories grew. They incorporated elements from Star Wars, … Continue reading Don’t Keep A Good Story Down

Hi Readers! While you were away, we stormed Amazon’s citadel. Swords clashed, and spells slung around that vast digital repository until the King of Amazon himself marched out to meet us.  Tension ran high as his bodyguards parted. I, of course, watched all this from my dad’s shoulders while encased in a sparkling shield. The king nodded to his majordomo. “State the reason for your violent visit.” “We want our book to be on sale now,” I said before Uncle Miren could say anything. Then I froze as my dad pulled me down to eye level and held me there. “What book?” Like my dad, I can only speak the truth, so I just pointed at Uncle Miren. Lying was … Continue reading We stormed a citadel and fought the King of Amazon for you! Reap the Rewards!
