ASCENDANT, Book 2 of the CUSPIAN Saga has a cover and blurb! The release date is TBD but I'm aiming for March 2015. Fraternal twins Kendal and Kennedi Myles are desperate for their broken lives to return to a time when stolen kisses, football games, and an overbearing parent was normal. But being the most powerful Cuspians—a superpowered subspecies of humans—in America isn’t exactly normal, and that time has passed from their lives forever. Kennedi has spent her summer training for the inevitable moment when Beau—the Cuspian she loved and then betrayed—returns to kidnap both her and her brother for The Conservatory, an agency desperate to acquire the strongest of their kind at any cost. But Kennedi refuses to be collected like vintage couture. She’s ready to protect the ones she loves most—at whatever cost. Kendal is fed up with waiting to be attacked for his role in the near-fatal assault that left three of The Conservatory's operatives in bloody pieces. With the threat of vengeance around every corner, he hacks into The Conservatory's database, yielding disastrous results. As new clues into his mother’s death emerge, Kendal must decide just how far he's willing to go to uncover the truth. Focused on their individual quests, the twins’ attention is divided and their weaknesses are exploited. Every decision they make drives a wedge further between them, and the pair soon realizes something they can never unlearn: the price that comes with power is often too high to pay.

When the universe conspired to bring Loti and Wolf together, it was just getting warmed up.  After surviving Modore’s assassination attempt on Wolf, the lovers want nothing more than some peace and quiet, but the universe has other plans for them.

And Loti and Wolf are done waiting to find out what they are.

Convinced there will be no happily-ever-after for them until Modore is dealt with, they form a dubious alliance with untrustworthy forces from Wolf’s past. While searching for clues to the homicidal vampire’s whereabouts, they uncover secrets that begin to unravel reality as they know it.  Tangled up in black ops conspiracies and fae treachery, they make a fatal mistake—overlooking the enemy in their midst.
Can love and light survive a downward spiral into darkness?

Loti Dupree’s meager healing abilities have been more a curse than a blessing. What’s the point if she can't save her husband from cancer? Harboring a painful secret, Loti flees the life they had in a small Appalachian town for the ashram, the spiritual retreat where she trained to be a yogini. But she finds herself running from more than grief when an ominous nightmare sets her on a dangerous path of self-discovery that challenges everything she believes--and threatens her life.

While dodging psychic attacks from an unknown assailant, Loti races to understand who and what she is before her enemy can catch up with her. To make matters worse, events throw her into the arms of a handsome but frustrating vampire. Love and light are waiting for her—if she can only figure out how to stay alive.


About the Author

Melissa Lummis considers herself a truth seeker, a peaceful warrior, a paranormal and fantasy writer, an avid reader, a thru-hiker GA->ME ’98, a wife, a mother, and a free thinker. She believes the universe conspires to help an adventurer, and that if we live our lives as if it is a daring adventure (and it is!), then everything we need will find its way to us.

The author lives in rural Virginia with her husband, two children, an Alaskan Malamute and a myriad of forest creatures. The nature of her mind dictates that she write to stay sane. Otherwise, her fertile imagination takes off on tangents of its own accord, creating scenarios and worlds that confuse the space-time continuum.


Namaste, dear friends.

I'm excited to announce a title change for my series. Check out the updated cover and title! The release date will be announced very soon! 

I've finally entered this century and joined Twitter!  So in celebration I've posted an exclusive line from "Zeros" on my page. Follow me and check it out!  DC's Twitter Page.

I was tagged by my author friend, Tawdra Kandle, to participate in The Next Big Thing Blog tour. This Blog Tour is on a mission to discover the new project authors are currently developing. So I took a break from editing to give a quick interview about my Next Big Thing: Zeros.  
The Next Big Thing

What is the working title of your book?
Zeros: The Cuspian Series. I know. I know. I had to look up Cuspian on Google too.
Where did the idea come from for the book?
The idea for this book was written in the stars. Don’t look at me like that…I’m serious. My book revolves around twins who are gifted with supernatural abilities due to them being born on the cusp – the precise moment where one astrological sign transitions into another – of Scorpio and Libra. I’m a Cuspian as well, so after researching the topic so much the idea sprouted so I decided I should write it down. 
What genre does your book fall under?
Zeros is a young adult and urban fantasy novel. Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?
I happen to be a huge movie buff so this was one of the easiest questions to answer.
Kendal Myles-Beau MirchoffKennedi Myles- Lucy HaleKimberly Myles- A blonde Jennifer ConnellyChancellor North- Eddie Cibrian Jacen North- Tyler HoechlinBeau- Chris ZylkaTripp- Alexander Ludwig
What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
Yikes, this is a hard one but I’ll try: Twins investigate their mom’s unexpected death while trying to manage their new found super powers.
Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?
Stay tuned folks…
How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?
It took me over a year to complete my first draft.
What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?
If I Am Number Four, Pretty Little Liars, Hunger Games and X-Men (I know it’s a comic book but I’m a rule breaker) had an orgy baby then it would be Zeros.
Who or What inspired you to write this book?
I am inspired to write by people who enjoy taking portals to other worlds through novels.  
What else about your book might pique the readers’ interest?
Zeros is a mature young adult/urban fantasy novel with (hopefully) witty dialogue, interesting plot, and characters you’ll love to hate. The supernatural elements in my novel are in the peripheral to the real life (romantic, family, platonic, and even toxic) relationships.
