About Me

Wasn't sure how to fill this out. Cuz me? Well, I'm alot of different people, depending on who you ask.

My husband says: She's smart, funny, but doesn't clean the house worth a damn. Spends way too much time on the computer where she swears she's working, but I'm not retired yet, so she's not working hard enough.

My daughter says: She's my reference material for homework. And the source for cash. I hate it when she makes me clean my room, but at least she's giving me guitar lessons. She's funny, even if she is really weird sometimes. I wish I was as smart as her. *disclaimer, she's 16, what did you expect her to say?*

To me? I'm a dreamer. I've got one foot on a cloud and the other rooted in reality (if that didn't happen, the internet bill would get missed and I wouldn't be here!) After searching for a creative outlet, I found writing, and think I'll be doing this for a long, long while. Creating stories gives me an escape (from that housework!). I'm totally in love with the process of falling in love--which is why I write stories with a romantic theme and a happily ever after.

Okay, imagine yourself a NASCAR fan--you know the drivers, their rides and you watch pretty regularly. You hear the stories, the rumors, especially those about series champion and bad-boy, Zander Torris. He's really easy on the eyes, but a major playboy and reputed womanizer.
Now imagine you're a nurse at a camp for underprivileged kids and he's there for a benefactor's dinner. Imagine he comes into your "office" and flirts, shamelessly, then asks you to be his date. Would you go? (hint: he's not gonna give you a choice, so you'd better be ready at six!)Find out what happens next-- Trophy Girl, available from Samhain Publishing NOW!
Ready for Halloween? Afraid of THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT? If you're in the mood for a Haunted House and a vampire who's come back for the woman he loves, check out my store in the anthology from Ellora's Cave, Things That Go Bump in the Night V. (Available in ebook AND print)
Anyone up for a sexy mechanic and a sinister ghost car? Yum! It's full of hot sex, hair raising suspense and unexpected twists (so say the people who've read it).... but it's my favorite book and my husband has read it twice. Here's what the critics say:

HOT ROD HEAVEN is a totally unique paranormal story, and if you prefer your stories different and distinctive, it might just be the one for you. Just don't read it right before bed. Carolyn Crisher for www.romrevtoday.com

HOT ROD HEAVEN takes supernatural love to a whole new level. Its fresh take on love beyond the grave with a downright spooky twist that will hook you from the first page. by Susan for ecataromance.com

HOT ROD HEAVEN is far and away Melani Blazers finest piece of work yet. This is a heartrending and gripping tale of love, loss and second chances; a positively masterful job of storytelling. by Tammy for Love Romances

My Interests

Any question in the universe that doesn't have a definitive answer.

Muscle cars (I can talk the lingo), NASCAR, music, books, vampires, faeries and ghosts (lycans, eh... take 'em or leave em... *coughs up hairball*), studying other languages, photography, writing--especially paranormal romance...

Music:

I don't think I can list everything! I tend to stick to the alternative rock stuff, but have been know to listen to and buy classical, country and everything in between. Probably best to say I'm not a rap kinda girl... everything else is worth a listen!Currently addicted to: Collective Soul: "Youth" and Nickelback: "For all the wrong reasons"

Movies:

If you can chain me down long enough to the couch (don't do theatres) please gimme Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord the Rings trilogy, Star Wars, Merlin....(runs out of steam--I have alot of movies I like and will watch if they come on cable, but I couldn't name 'em)

Books:

  • Ellora's Cave
  • Cerridwen Press
  • Samhain Publishing
