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. If you run into someone who is on the front lines, thank them for being there and for doing their job despite the insanity going on around them. Let’s shed a little light in these dark times and warm a heart that needs it. Remember, heroes come in all sizes, shapes, colors, and on very rare occasions, with scales. Yes, I’m talking about that dragon, aka … Continue reading That Treacherous 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

Hi Readers! Welcome back! This is your host, Ran, son of Sarn, from the ever-expanding Curse Breaker series. 🙂 This week, a lot’s happening. Let’s pull back the curtain and head backstage for a look. Follow me! (Just drop down the rabbit hole. Don’t worry. There’s a soft cushion at the other end to catch you. If you miss it, Auntie Sovvan is standing by with catcher’s mitts, so you’re covered either way.) First off, Tuesday, March 10, is our Scribe, Melinda’s, birthday. (Yay!) It’s also the release day for the first multi-author anthology our publishing house, Magical Mayhem Press, … Continue reading Come Behind the Scenes

Hi Readers, Welcome back! Did you have a great week? You’re not going to believe what we’ve been up to. Okay, maybe you would since you have read our books. Now, you’re wondering what trouble we’ve gotten ourselves into now. Admit it. Well, wonder no more. Yours truly, your host, Ran, Sarn’s adorable son and sidekick did not get into trouble this week.

Hi Readers, We’re back. This week, our Scribe, Melinda, put together the final file for Wayward Magic, the second anthology in the trilogy of fantasy anthologies, collectively called Magic Underground. 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.) But this time, not just their friend’s life is at stake but his soul too when dark magic infects him with its evil. Thing and … Continue reading Wayward Magic on the Loose

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!

Hi Readers! It’s your friendly fictional character, Ran, Sarn’s son, and I’m back with good news.

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?

Hi Readers! As the image below shows, we’ve been busy! The three *test* covers are for the three stories our scribe, Melinda, wrote for the trilogy of anthologies we’re producing. Collectively, we’re calling them ‘Magic Underground’ because Papa and I happen to live under a mountain. 😉 He’s got wings and a swift-flying mate, but they’re fighting a dangerous magic with nothing but their wits and claws. If they fail, they’ll lose more than their only human friend. Adventure with Thing and Amal as they risk it all. Get their story in Spell of Shadow & Light1) Spell of Wings & … Continue reading Spells, Wings, and Flying Things
