I've found I no longer have the time to keep my blog up to date; too busy writing, editing and publishing. So I will not be adding anymore pages to my blog, but the archive will still be available. If you have any questions, you can always reach me through my webpage: www.newmoonrising.net.

In the meantime, I'm still working on my paranormal mystery series, The Lacey Fitzpatrick and Sam Firecloud

Melissa Bowersock liked Pam Bales's review of Death Walk: "Great as always. This is a little different from the rest of the series. There's no "haunting" with all the drama that involves.

Melissa Bowersock liked Pam Bales's review of Dream Walk (Lacey Fitzpatrick and Sam Firecloud #4): "Best one yet Really enjoy the combination of Lacey's policing skills and Sam's medium work. Helping the confused deceased move on make a great read. Family interactions add a great deal to a book. Ready for the next."

Quotes by Melissa Bowersock (?)

“I give you this one thought to keep. I am with you. I do not sleep. I am the thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on the ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not think of me as gone. I am with you still in each new dawn.”
― Melissa Bowersock, Spider Woman Walk
