New Release Coming Soon
Since I've been back at writing, I have re-envisioned a series that I started before I got sick. What had been the Shadow Realm Saga will now be the Luriel Cycle.
Awakening will be re-released as an ebook with a new cover on October 10, 2017. I'm excited because I found a cover artist with a style and a model image that fit my main character.
You can preorder Awakening now.

I finished the first draft of Enlightenment, which I plan to release in spring 2018.
And later in 2018, I expect to release the third and final book in this alternative Earth/otherworld contemporary/urban fantasy/science fiction. (Yeah, it seems like one thing but doesn't really fit clearly into any mold. In other words, a typical Melanie Nilles type of story ;) .)

Old and New
Thanks to a very patient librarian here on Goodreads, the old and new Awakening are combined. The story didn't change. Only the series was re-imagined.
As I told our shall-remain-nameless librarian, I went through a period of dealing with chronic illness in which I removed the book from publication because I wasn't sure I would continue. But, I've overcome a lot of uncertainties, thanks to the help of some integrative medicine. I am managing now with my illness and back at writing.
Since feeling better and learning to manage my disease (and occasionally working through flare ups), I returned to writing and decided that I had better finish what I started. So, after giving Awakening a little polish and outlining the series into a trilogy instead of a four-book series, I went on to write Enlightenment, which I expect to release summer 2018. After finishing a first draft of the second book, I re-released Awakening with a new series name--The Luriel Cycle (was the Shadow Realm Saga).
Now, I'm working on the first draft of Eternal with plans to release that a few months after Enlightenment, and the full Luriel Cycle trilogy will be complete.
So, there is one listing for Awakening on Goodreads, although there may be different versions, because old and new are one. edit: this is a strange twist of fate that parallels the theme of the series.
