COVER REVEAL FOR PROMISE

Today is cover reveal day for Promise, my Christmas Novella.

 

Promise

 

 

Charlotte Walker and Adam Middleton were childhood sweethearts until the day he and his family disappeared. All he left Charlotte was a scrappy piece of paper with a few throwaway words:

 ‘I’ll never forget you. I promise.’

 After eight years of hoping he’d come back into her life, Charlotte can no longer bear the heartbreak of Adam’s broken promise. Retreating to a remote cabin to spend a quiet Christmas holiday alone, Charlotte is determined to push the ghost of Adam into the past and focus on moving forward with the rest of her life.

But when a bearded man knocks on the cabin door on Christmas Eve, could he hold the answer to Charlotte’s years of heartache?

 

 

Promise will be released on the 5th December 2017. Grab yourself a copy now by pre-ordering.

STARSHINE COVER REVEAL

The secret 'project' I've been playing with for the past two years is nearly ready to share with the world.

STARSHINE is very different to the books I have previously published. It's gritty, raw, and has a male lead character that just doesn't 'do' nice.

Want to see the cover? Here you are . . .

 

Film student Ella Summers can’t believe her luck when she is selected to work on the set of the most anticipated film release of the year—STARSHINE. For the next four weeks, she’ll be in the studio with heart-throb and leading man Alex Denton, and his co-star—and recent ex—the stunning Amy Strickland.

But her first day on set has her questioning the true character of the enigmatic and sexy Alex. The charming celebrity she’s adored on screen disappears before her very eyes—if indeed he ever really existed.

Off-camera arguments between Alex and Amy become difficult to ignore, and when Ella uncovers layers of deceit and closely guarded secrets between them, she becomes involved in a battle that has far-reaching implications.

With the paparazzi hounding her every move for the most sensational story they can get, Ella becomes deeply embroiled in Alex’s life. Can she break down his seemingly impenetrable walls, or will he remain the arrogant ass she first met?

STARSHINE is set in London, England. Beware though—Alex Denton has a crude mouth, and an equally wicked smile.

Due to be released on the 29th May, expect to see teasers and trailers over the coming weeks.

SACHAEL DREAMS - TWO YEARS OLD!

On 24th February, one week away, it's been two years since I released my debut novel, Sachael Dreams. Can you believe it? I can't.

I never expected to be welcomed into the book world as warmly as I have. I've made friends all over the world, and met up with several fellow authors and also lots of readers. At times I feel like I'm living the dream--writing my words and people enjoying them!

There are lots of people who help me behind the scenes, who all play an important part in getting my books published. There are pre-readers, beta readers, editors, cover designers, formatters and those that generally just inspire me to keep writing. And that's what I intend to do.

2017 will hopefully see the release of two books from me. Sachael Delusions, the third book in the Mine series, is scheduled for release later this year. And Adversity, the second book in the Ascent series, will hopefully be available at the end of September.



But for now, let's concentrate on Sachael Dreams. To celebrate its two year anniversary I'm offering a very special prize for one winner, and 3 runner up prizes. All you have to do is let me know you want to be entered into the giveaway. You can do this by tweeting me @melodywinter using the hashtag #IwantotwinacopyofSachaelDreams or commenting on this post or the one that will be repeated on facebook: Melody Winter Facebook

First prize: A signed copy of Sachael Dreams paperback, a mermaid jewelled bookmark, a set of limited edition character postcards.

Three runner-up prizes: An ebook (mobi, or epub) copy of Sachael Dreams.

I'll announce the winners at the beginning of March.

COVER REVEAL - INIQUITY by Melody Winter

It gives me great pleasure, amid squeals of excitement, to reveal the cover of INIQUITY!!!

My cover designer, Amalia Chitulescu, has done a wonderful job of capturing the whole book.

 

Publication date: October 25th, 2016

Genre: New Adult, Dark Romantic Fantasy

 

Book Blurb:

Athena Harrow is about to turn twenty-one, but there will be no celebration. What is there to celebrate when the world is ruled by demons?

She hates the darkness the demons brought with them and longs for the light to return to the world—a world she only vaguely remembers. The people in her forest village blindly accept the life the demons forced upon them, even tolerating the yearly ascension ceremony where all the girls who have turned twenty-one are either sent away to serve the Master Demon or left in the village and forced to procreate.

But Paymon, the assigned village demon, selects a different role for Athena, a role that pits her against the village. While she adapts to her new life, Erebus, a younger, more powerful demon, arrives, and Athena must play a dangerous game with his emotions in return for information about the demon’s reign of darkness.

As Athena’s dreams of restoring the light begin to fade, her life with Erebus takes an unexpected turn, and this time it’s her life being put to the test. Who is playing who?

Set in the forest around Buttercrambe in North Yorkshire, England, INIQUITY explores the frightening, darker side of romance and the uncontrolled emotions it can unleash.

About Me:

Growing up, Melody showed a natural ability in art, a head for maths, and a tendency to write too long English essays. Difficult to place in the world when she graduated, she pursued a career in teaching, but ended up working in finance. Melody is convinced the methodical times she spends working with numbers fuel her desire to drift into dream worlds and write about the illusory characters in her head.

Melody Winter lives in York, North Yorkshire, England with her husband and two sons. When not dealing with football, rugby, and a whole plethora of ‘boy’ activities, she will be found scribbling notes for her stories, or preparing for another trip to the nearby beaches at Scarborough and Whitby. With an obsession for anything mythical, Melody revels in reading and writing about such creatures, and creating her own.

SILENCE IS GOLDEN

Today, the 15th September, marks my coming out of the editing cave that I've hidden in for . . . ohhh . . . let's say, quite a few months. I've been shocking at keeping things up to date because I've wanted to give my readers the best I could with INIQUITY.

I've put myself under enormous pressure to get this book sorted because it's my first self-published adventure. I feel like I've got to get this right, every step of the way. I've already made a few mistakes, the first--not keeping everyone updated with what I'm doing!

So, as an apology for my silence, I have decided to send out the prologue of INIQUITY, YES another prologue, to all subscribers of my mailing list/Newsletter. (If you're not on my list then please sign up here: Melody Winter Newsletter)






Things are busy in the lead up to the release, so I thought I'd list what's happening:

15th September: INIQUITY available to pre-order at a reduced price until release day when it will be at standard price.

amazon UK:    Link to Iniquity on amazon UK

amazon US:    Link to Iniquity on amazon US  

27th September: Iniquity cover reveal day

29th September: Iniquity video trailer revealed

Teasers posted throughout October.

25th October: Iniquity release day.

It would be great if you could join me on these days, and hopefully share in the craziness that will unfold. Grab you pre-order whilst you can, and I'll see you soon.
