"If the story’s been done before (as is the case with so much white American-European fiction), write it anyway.
Write it. Because it comes from your personality, your knowledge, and your heritage. That story will contain your passion. Write it and let it find its audience." ~ Kristin Kathryn Rusch (Great blog post! Read it: http://kriswrites.com/2015/03/25/business-musings-controlling-the-creatives/)

Read AWAKENING before the release date!!
I have a special offer for those willing to put in a little work...
I will provide an ARC (unproofed) ebook copy of Awakening in exchange for honest reviews (any rating, just be honest and explain reasons for other readers to better decide if the book/series might (not) be for them). Please keep in mind that an ARC is not a final version and will have typos and other errors.
If you are willing to write up a paragraph (or longer) with your thoughts about the book on major sites like Amazon and Goodreads, LibraryThing, etc., I will supply an ebook copy. The first twenty (20) who post substantive reviews will have the option of a final paperback copy when the book is released.
If you're interested in contemporary epic fantasy with a romantic supblot...By June 1, contact me through my website form at http://www.melanienilles.com/contact.html. Please include your email and a link to at least one other review that you have written. I will have PDF and EPUB copies available after that date. Retailer and book review site links will also be available at that time.
ps--I would like to create a group of ARC reviewers for future books. If you're interested in joining such a team, please make that clear in your message.

Description:
Lilly has been marked for death by daemons from a hidden world, a place known as the Shadow Realm. Within her has awakened the spirit of their enemy, one of the luriel. Such beings are myths to her, but one man is out to prove that they exist. The daemon slayer, Mychel, will introduce her to a world of shadows and light hiding beyond the comfort of science and technology, where ancient myths are real and an eternal war rages on, a war in which she has now been conscripted to fight.
One daemon is doing his best to destroy her before that happens. In human form, Darrac is able to get close to her and soon realizes that she is different–through Lilly, an ancient power has revived, a terrible power than can end the war…by eliminating both luriel and daemons. But destroying that power would mean sacrificing the one who has changed his heart.
Time is running out as the luriel within Lilly matures and her powers grow. One choice will determine the fate of two realms.
Ebook preorder: $0.99

Awakening Pre-orders Available!
Apple: https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/awakening/id975088889?mt=11
Barnes & Noble: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/books/1121368696…
Kobo: https://store.kobobooks.com/en-US/ebook/awakening-121
Smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/526157
These are all set up on my webpage for the book at http://www.melanienilles.com/Awakening-shadow-realm-saga.html. I can't set it upon Amazon until the end of this month (3 months prior to release date max for pre-orders apparently). I will send an email out to the mailing list when I have everything ready, along with some treats for the loyal readers willing to welcome me into their inboxes. In the meantime, the smaller stores will be listing it for pre-order also.
I'm working on Nemesis again, for those waiting eagerly for more Starfire Angels. I hope to finish that in May and then tackle last editing rounds on Awakening. Those have to be in by two weeks prior to the release, so I'll be on a deadline.

An update on Awakening
I've been busy with the books lately and have some news about the next book coming...
Awakening is with beta readers, who have given me very positive in-progress comments. I think we have a winner in this. It's a love triangle, contemporary, otherworld, epic fantasy that you will want to try. And you'll want to be sure to pre-order it for the special price of $0.99!
It is being set up for pre-order with Apple, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and other sellers. I can't set it up on Amazon for another four weeks, but I'll be sure to report on that when it's ready. The expected release date will be June 28, 2015. When the pre-order links become available, I will post them here and at my website.
I'm out of words now after arguing with crabby kids today, but I can say that I am preparing to jump back into Nemesis by reading Deception, Phantoms, and Shards this weekend. I'll have more about that around the time that Awakening becomes available.
