Cover Reveal: Blood of My Sisters by Mel Chesley...

Yup! That's my name in the title there! Woohoo!

The new year was decent. It brought about many changes. I am still an author and will be writing about The Breed, but I am no longer Creative Director. I had to step down for several reasons. None of which need to be brought out here.

However, I'm very, very excited to reveal the cover of my new book! Blood of My Sisters. This is one of a series of Seven Sisters books.

Meet Isla Black. A young "Book Witch", one not born to a pure bloodline, but who learns through reading books and practicing spells. When she opens a portal on her own, the Seven Sisters are alerted of her power in the magical arts and whisk her away to the Sacred Heart Academy. There, she begins to study and learn to master her skills. All of the other students, except two, are "Blood Witches"; young women born to ancient family bloodlines, whose power comes more naturally than just through books. They make it clear they do not want Isla -- or the other Book Witches -- around.

Just before Isla's arrival, the academy is attacked by a rogue werewolf. He breaks two Breed Laws: No hunting for sport, no attacking your own kind. The Sisters have their hands full, not just with the werewolf, but with the societal split within their own ranks in the Sacred Heart Academy. Against Council orders, the Sisters take matters into their own hands. When The Council decides to step in with a plan of their own, they'll learn that clashing with the Sisters is never a good idea, for Human or Breed.

All right, so without further ado, here is the cover!

I hope you like it! I will be releasing the book soon, so watch this space! Have a great weekend, everyone.

What To Expect When You're Expecting Breed...

I'm going to attempt to give a little insight into the world of The Breed, today.

This world was designed and created by two friends, Charles and Ray, about 20 years ago. We all know how life can move fast, things get put on the back burner and then, all of a sudden, BOOM!!! You're going, "Hey, whatever happened to all that?"

But what happens when you're not exactly a writer?

That's where I came in. I've known Ray for some time. We were old gaming buddies back when gaming was a MuD. (Legends of Cosrin). Ray and I reconnected on Facebook and I got to talking about my writing. At the time, I was working on Adversarius and had just released Veritas.

I'm going to be honest.  I really felt as if I failed as a writer. Of course I self published after being burned a couple times. But honestly, that was my fault for not researching and taking the time to go through proper channels. Oh, the things I learned. I will be finishing the trilogy soon, but in the meantime, I have found a love for supernatural, paranormal, horror stories. And you know what? I'm pretty dang good at scaring the beejeesus out of people.

I know. Vain!

Anyway, Ray and I got to talking about his idea and he directed me to Charles. That was five years ago. I have taken the ideas Charles had and I've worked them into decent stories. I began inviting other authors into this world, getting their take on things. We have a pretty solid core group. All in all, about 6 other authors, not including myself.

At the moment, we're sitting on four full length novels, a short story trilogy and at least two screenplays, with three other stories waiting in the wings. Plus, a super special series that will only be available to members who sign up for the newsletter. We have a myriad of artists who will be doing original artwork for covers and work on graphic novels.

Huzzah!

I hope this has piqued your interest. I'm on pins and needles, myself.
