About Me

_______
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...Hello, I'm Melanie, a happily married mother of 2 sweet boys. I love nature... animals, forests, random beauty. I'm very creative and artistic - some of it shows, some of it doesn't, and I even try to put it to good use now and then... but usually it's just for me and that's okay too - I'm happy. I love to sing - I drag my friends to karaoke whenever possible (thanks for putting up with me!) I am going to school for my Masters Degree to be a school librarian (I heard eccentric people are good for that job :-) and I LOVE to read)and I recently discovered writing!!! I recently wrote "Almost Human" - a vampire/paranormal/romance multi-volume novel. I am obsessed! I love writing and these characters have become so real to me, they are like close friends (I'm probably walking a fine line, but yes - I do still live in reality) Anyway, when submitting my book for publishing, they made me write an "Author Bio". I guess it sums me up, so here it is:___"I have always had a vivid imagination and a fascination for the paranormal. Acting and singing in theatrical productions throughout college and in my church has always been a love of mine as well. However, upon conceiving the idea for my Almost Human trilogy, I have discovered a previously unknown passion for writing! Not only can I finally put my over-active imagination to good use, but I can create characters that I love, and I get to play all of the parts! I live on Long Island, New York with my loving husband, two young sons, and an ever growing collection of pets. Current critters include our dog Winston, a parakeet, a snake, and three aquariums filled with various fish, eels and blue crayfish that I breed for pet stores as a hobby. I hold a bachelor’s degree in elementary education and I am currently pursuing my Master’s Degree in Library and Information Science."So, that's me. I'm always happy to make new friends, so send a request if you want and I'll check out your page. I'm on this computer WAY too much, so chances are, I'll write you back if you message me. Damn you MySpace - I'm supposed to be doing homework! See you around! ~ Melanie

You Are a Dreaming Soul
Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you away from this world. So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time. You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all... But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult. You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you. Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses. Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others. Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life. Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?

CURRENT MOON moon phase
SCORPIO: When in Scorpio, the Moon is deeply intuitive and we are able to connect with aspects of our consciousness, which may normally be hidden from us. We are at our most psychic and can access unknown layers of inner knowledge. This is the best time for working with esoteric mysteries and for any kind of magical or divinatory activity. Scorpio is associated with deep still water. Although the surface may be turbulent, at the bottom of large lakes the water is still and the temperature constant; and so it is for us emotionally when the Moon transits Scorpio. We feel everything very intensely and are at our most volatile and passionate. Scorpio is highly sexual and we can expect to find our inclinations in that direction heightened during this period. Ruled by Pluto, Lord of the Underworld (and also by Mars) Scorpio is traditionally associated with death. Out of death and dissolution come birth and new beginnings, so this is the perfect time to disable old, fixed, emotional patterns and start things afresh. The Scorpio Moon can thus be very transformational if we have the courage to travel into the dark realms of our inner world and bring out what is hidden there. ?? Which Of The Greek Gods Are You ??

Books:


I love so many! Books have been such an inspiration to me throughout my life. I re-read favorites over and over - a good book is like an old friend!_______Some of my favorite books in no particular order: The Perilous Guard - Elizabeth Marie Pope; Pretty much anything Piers Anthony has ever written; The Anne Rice Vampire series; Reefsong - Carol Severance; GloryLane - Alan Dean Foster; The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Series - Douglas Adams (Haven't seen the movie - but trust me the book has got to be better - nothing compares to his hilarious style of writing!); The Shining, Pet Cemetary and Cujo - the amazing Stephen King; Ariel - Steven R. Boyett; The Wolfwalker Series - Tara K. Harper; WitchDame - Kathleen Sky (hence my screenname); The 'John Carter of Mars' & the Venus series - Edgar Rice Burroughs; The Jurassic Park Series - Michael Crichton; Blood and Chocolate - Annette Curtis Klause; Feed - M.T. Anderson; Sweetblood - Pete Hautman; Web of the Chozen and The Well World Series - Jack L. Chalker; and so many more! I know the list is long - be honest, your eyes glazed over about 7 books ago, but these books are worth looking at. You might notice that many of them would be considered YA books and I don't really read romance novels (I hate porn novels that imitate literature) - How I wrote a Romance novel full of sex is beyond me! But trust me, mine does have a deeper level of thinking to it. There is no sex in it just for erotic shock value - I wanted the characters and story to feel true (after you give in and believe in my vampires that is)And while it is a romance, there is plenty of weird/psychic/blood/zombie-horror stuff in there too!
These were some of my greatest influences - Young Adult tales of angst, medieval/historical tales, magical sci-fi fantasy, disturbing technological thrillers, and good old fashioned horror. All dosed with comedy, emotion and characters you can relate to. Put deep,full characters anywhere (modern day New York or New Orleans, 16th century England, another human-settled planet in the near future or with alien races in an entirely undiscovered solar system!) and the story will work, as long as the author is passionate about it! Some of the authors listed above are absolutely BRILLIANT! I admire them for their blending of humanity and imagination.
