One that is being edited and prepped for publication, one that is being written, and one that is in the brainstorming stage. So, right now, I am editing ASH, book two of The Underground Series, to send off to my editor. (Yes, authors edit books before they are further edited!) I am writing book two of The Halo Series, Soren, and I am brainstorming the first book of The Zodiac Series. :) You could say I put a lot on my own plate. But I love it!(less)

This book is so FUNNY. If you're someone who, as a child, frequently rewatched the Brandy Cinderella feat. Whitney Houston as the Godmot" Read more of this review »

Judy "Oaken" is destined to be a best seller with characters you can believe in and care about. Melody has written a book that will have wide appeal to young adults. She has a masterful way with dialog that makes the story move at a fast pace . A very good read.
