Zed Playlist
I’m sure it’s no surprise to anyone by now that music is a big part of my life, not the least of reasons being that I’m married to a musician. True story: he and his musician colleagues provided partial inspiration for my Heartless Few series.
Anyway, I digress. So, music is a big part of my life, and I have a series based around the music industry, and as I think I’ve mentioned before, I think in pictures, so it’s probably not too much of a surprise to learn that I generally have a soundtrac...
New release news…”bully” for me…
New bully romance (with a twist) from MV Ellis September 2019 I’ll let you into a little secret…I used to love keeping secrets, but lately I haven’t been finding it as much fun–when you have so much cool stuff to share with others, sometimes it can be hard to keep a lid on it.
I mean, I do still like the ability to surprise someone, and see their face light up when realisation of what I’ve done dawns on them. I especially like doing this with gifts. I’m what I like to think of as a thoughtful...
Zed is live!
Wow, so we made it! Book baby no. 6 is out in the world, and I’m watching him fly.
As writers, we’d love to think this is a given, and it would certainly reduce the headache and heartache factor if it was, but the truth is that we have no idea how a book is going to be received until its out there doing its thing, at which point, it’s pretty much too late! The nerves at that stage can be immense and and intense. We put a little (bahahahaha! aka a lot) of ourselves into our w...

ZED RELEASE PARTY LINEUP
So in true MV style, my release party game has gone from zero to 1000 in a hop, skip, and a jump.
Zed is my sixth release, but my first release party–I’ve never attended one for another author, or had one myself. So first, there’s the “Eeeek! I have no idea what I’m doing” factor, then there’s the “go hard or go home” gene that runs strong in me.
Zed release party lineup. Cue girly squeals So, I’m going hard. I have 26, yes TWENTY. SIX. other authors joining me for to celebrate Zed’s releas...

Gah! One week to go.
I’ll be honest, I HATE this point before a book launches! I’m generally a pretty cool calm and collected person (or at least, I like to think I am!), but pre-release, the nerves start to set in. Hard.
I don’t think that matters are helped by the fact that I’m on deadline for Spider’s book, which will be the next in the in Rough Ink Series. Nothing like a little bit of pressure with a side of pressure, and a little pressure for dessert, right? Wrong!
Oh well. I have big plans for the rest of...

Zed: The Reviews Are In – And They’re GREAT!
An absolutely heart-breaking, gut-wrenching, life-altering, emotionally-desperate kind-of-story, a story about love, devotion, sacrifice, and, redemption in the face of such a profound and immense tragedy…
A Book Lover’s Dream Blog
So, ARC reviews for Zed are starting to roll in, and guess what? They’re great. Heaps of five stars, and loads of great insights into the high points of the story.
Of course, I think Zed’s great, but there’s no need to take only my word for it. Check out some of th...

Zed Release Parties!
Party with me for Zed’s release on July 2! It wouldn’t be a new release without spreading a little love around, and this launch is no exception. I’ll be rocking around the internet – well Facebook, to be exact, to celebrate Zed’s release in fine style.
There will be an AMAZING giveaway, and all the usual fun and games, so don’t miss out.
I’ll also be holding my very first launch party, surrounded by a cast of other awesome authors who will be helping me celebrate with games and giveaways of...

Only Two Weeks To Go
Zed, by MV Ellis, on Kindles June 29 Put June 29 in your diary Eek! It’s aways nerve-wracking to put a new book baby into the world. Even more so when it’s the first in a new series, like Zed is, and it will be live in t-minus 14 days!
On the other hand ARCs (advance reader copies) have already gone out, and the reviews coming back are overwhelmingly positive, so that’s a relief!
Lawd this story was something else! All of the characters whether they be front & center, or secondaries, were all...
MY COMMUNITY IS GROWING!
Join my reader group and my ARC group on FacebookSo it’s no secret that I don’t keep up with my blog posts or newsletters as often as I should, and I’m the first to admit that. While I should definitely make more effort to communicate via these channels (and I believe that was two of my New Year’s resolutions), I also sometimes need to remind myself to cut myself some slack. There’s only one of me, and until someone invents a way to shape shift, or clones oneself, I can only be in one place...
