A Steampunk Fable & a Giveaway!


by Edie Melson @EdieMelson


Today, my new Steampunk novel is free on kindle. 

Here's what readers are saying:

"A superb retelling of Robin Hood--steampunk style! Edie brings the beloved characters to life in a whole new way that will keep readers feverishly turning the pages to find out what happens next. I can't wait for the next in the series!"

"A steampunk fable at its finest. Melson is a master craftsman in her action-packed spin with Maid Marion and Robin Hood at the helm."

"Edie Melson's steampunk adventure kept me turning pages long after I should have called my lady's maid to help me prepare for dinner. There wasn't enough tea in all of England to settle my nerves as Marion and Robin first matched wits with each other and then joined forces to stop a horrific evil from taking over the land. Maiden of Iron is a must-read for fans of the steampunk genre and a perfect first foray for those new to it."

Maiden of Iron
Marion Ravenswood�s brother is killed in a duel fighting for her honor. Their father, the Engineering Guildmaster, withdraws and refuses to speak with anyone.

Marion must now save the guild�s children and reclaim the family honor. She dons the persona of the Maiden of Iron to right wrongs not of her making.

But will a chance encounter with the prince of thieves be an answered prayer, or will he just steal her heart and abandon them all?

How to P.R.E.P. for a Great Writing Fall!

Image
by Lucinda Secrest McDowell @LucindaSMcDowel Summer 2018 will soon be only a memory� Labor Day will have come and gone.  Whether you are back into the routine of filling backpacks and lunchboxes or at the stage of filling your calendar with work or volunteering, FALL can be a season of fresh beginnings.  Since I juggle three jobs (writing, speaking and high school teaching) Fall is my serious kick-off-and-start-running time. Perhaps you feel this way as well.  May I suggest my own strategy for balancing life at this time of year? I call it  P.R.E.P P � PLAN  R � RHYTHM E � EXTRAS P � PRIORITY   PLAN :  Right now, lay out your calendar pages for September, October, November, and December and fill in all that is already scheduled: work, activities, appointments, concerts, church services, Bible studies, etc. Include your children�s� games, recitals, field trips and school holidays as soon as you get the notice. Look at the four months. What is already on your calendar is a given�the empt

Go. Write. Love.

by Sarah Van Diest @SarahVanDiest Do you know that what you do matters?  Do you understand that the way our Father speaks through you is unique? That there is no one else who can carry his message and his love like you can?  I want you to hold that idea in your mind as you read today�s story. What you do makes a difference.  I wish I didn�t have this story to tell you today, but I do. It sits in my hands and waits to be opened and shared. I feel a strange sense of honor holding it, while its tragic nature makes me wish it never existed. But it is also something precious and something worthy of words.  Four months ago, baby Kaenon was born. He came early. As soon as the news broke that he was on the way, his grandparents rushed to meet him. Mark and Laurie Francis arrived at daughter Ashlee�s side and welcomed their first grandchild into the world.  His early arrival meant complications, though. Kaenon�s body wasn�t quite ready for the wideness of the world. He would undergo multiple su

My 10 Commandments of Social Media for Writers (and everyone else)

Image
by Edie Melson  @EdieMelson Today's post is short and sweet, but I hope you have as much fun reading it as I did writing it! 1. Thou shalt always promote others ahead of thyself. 2. Thou shalt not have a running self-promotion and/or commercial for thy newsfeed. 3. Thou shalt add substance and value�not trivia or irritation�to those who like and follow thee.  4. Thou shalt not hog the stream of any social media network thou are a part of. 5. Thou shalt interact with those who comment upon and share thy updates. 6. Thou shalt not share thy location or the fact that thou is on vacation. 7. Thou shalt take time to edit thyself before posting (auto correct is not thy friend). 8. Thou shalt not plague others with auto responders when someone new follows thee. 9. Thou shalt ALWAYS use a recognizable headshot as thy avatar. 10. Thou shalt not add others to groups without permission.  What commandment would you add to the list? I could think of several others but I was trying to stick with
