She has always been fascinated by new places, cultures, languages, and history, and there is no better place to indulge that interest than in fantasy writing.

Happy New Year!

THE PRE-BETA EDIT of A Congress of Roses is complete! Happy new year to you all and I hope your holidays were a little less frantic than mine. I failed utterly to disconnect while also failing utterly to get any real work done, so my first resolution for this year: when I'm with the family, the devices get put away.

The biggest lesson of my 2025 is how much I have to learn. As a writer, something f Read more of this blog post »

“He wanted the Tower to fawn over her. He didn't like the idea of presenting her to Segoile as the Exile Princess, an object of pity and curiosity. He wanted all of them to know how extraordinary she was.”
Melissa J. Cave, Last of His Blood

“What will you give me if I do it?” Remin interrupted. The Emperor smiled. “What do you desire? Name it, and if it lies in our Empire and under the sight of the stars, we will grant it to you.” Remin could wish for the moon, and the Emperor knew he would never have to grant it. Duke Ereguil was right. The Brede was a devourer of armies. Let the boy drown in it. “The Andelin for my duchy,” Remin said. The words came to him like prophecy. “The Brede for my own. And your daughter for my wife.”
Melissa J. Cave, Traitor Son

“Will a dozen dresses be enough?” His jaw set grimly as he took his seat at the table, dipped his quill in the ink pot, and issued the horrifying command: “Tell me what to write, wife.”
Melissa J. Cave, Traitor Son

“He wanted the Tower to fawn over her. He didn't like the idea of presenting her to Segoile as the Exile Princess, an object of pity and curiosity. He wanted all of them to know how extraordinary she was.”
Melissa J. Cave, Last of His Blood
