Got tired of reading the news and getting mad. Feeding America backs 200+ food banks around the country and I've seeded with $500 for now. I'll match up to another $500 myself.

Pass the hat, RTs graciously appreciated, etc.
I'm supporting Feeding America!

So excited this arrived today! My son’s reading it in his AP Lit class, and I’m dying to dig into @melissamarrwriting.bsky.social introduction. Woot.
So this released . . . I still cannot believe that I was allowed to write an intro to one of the genre-defining authors I once taught at university. Not just allowed to, but they invited & hired me. (!)
A Treason of Magic. Print, audio, & ebook. Think Buffy meets Regency with a murder mystery, deadly faeries (and folklore), Beauty & the Beast vibes.

If you read Wicked Lovely as a teen (or adult!), this is for you. www.amazon.com/Treason-Magi...

F(r)iction # 25. November 2025 edition.

I melded a fairy tale with this idea: "Most of the world knew of only two faery courts, the Seelie and Unseelie, but there was a third."

Honesty, if I were to write another YA book, I think this story is the seed of it. I ADORED working on this. (Post 4 of)
Next up, I wrote an intro for a new edition of a book I taught in my university & college classes (my pre-novelist job). Mary Shelley is a major influence, so this was a huge honour.

Out in Oc 2025 in an edition of Frankenstein with my introduction. (Post 3 of ?)

YES!!!! THIS has me cheering. A hopeful victory in the onslaught of attacks against our constitutional freedoms!

Share the good news when you see it. Resisting AND keeping hope alive in the face of the authoritarian advances is critical.

Bill was the only FT historical swordfighting coach at a Olympic level US gym. He was MY coach & continued to instruct me after I moved across the country. ANY sword in my books? Bill's teaching.

So I edited his beautiful book.

Please consider backing it.

I wanted to share this amazing new cover for my upcoming fantasy novel. Think Buffy meets Bridgerton but with faeries instead of vampires. Out in June 2026. www.amazon.com/Treason-Magi...

The cover for A Treason of Magic was designed by the incredibly talented Edward Bettison. edwardbettison.com
Getting things shipped internationally is such a headache right now with the US president's absurd tariffs. I am hoping to visit a store & pick them up when I visit my daughter next spring. (She lives in Norway.)
Thank you! I'd trying to figure out how to get a copy of the Spanish edition (and the Italian & German ones). Once I do, I'll look forward to reading your prologue!
My eldest lived in Guatemala for a while, and when she came home, she'd wake up in Spanish. I got great practice before coffee brewed. The (then)baby knew a lot of Spanish as a toddler as a result. Then my daughter was with the Maya, & now in Norway or S Africa. So my household is all ENG again.
I took 6 months of it. My reading was starting to get clearer, but I think I may need hearing aids. I had to redirect sound to one ear, use headphones, & ultimately I now have a Dr appt. . .
"Only" 3 + English . . . I continue to be impressed by you.
How many languages are you up to now?
So very thrilled to see this! My My Harley Quinn graphic novel is out in Spanish this week (joining the German, Italian, & English versions).
Contiene la novela gráfica The Strange Case of Harleen and Harley de Melissa Marr @melissamarrwriting.bsky.social, Jenn St-Onge @princessjem4.bsky.social, Lea Caballero y Jeremy Lawson @jlawdraws.com.
