ENCHANT COVER REVEAL!
AHHHHHHH! It’s that time again, guys! Cover reveal time! This is my first venture back into paranormal romance in a long time and I hope you guys are just as excited about it as I am.
Mara Pryce never imagined that her life was anything but normal and then a strange gray-eyed young man appears at her graduation. When he vanishes without a trace, she’s convinced he’s a figment of her imagination. Then he appears again and shatters her whole world.
Mara is an enchanter, part of an ancient line of Wiccan power, and a war is raging—one of good and evil—between the Enchanted and the Iniquitous.
The Iniquitous want her dead and it’s Theodore’s job as her protector to keep her safe.
When Mara and Theodore arrive at a safe house, where Mara will remain hidden while learning about her powers, they find that the real threat might be a little closer to home than they want to believe.

Broken Hearts Cover Reveal!
Cover and photography by Regina Wamba/ Mae I Design and Photography
BLURB
After everything we’ve been through, I thought we could weather any storm.
But this is one thing neither of us ever saw coming.
Jace and Nova have learned to roll with the punches—they’ve had to. The last few years have been bliss-filled and better than they imagined, but they’re ready to take the next step.
The problem?
Life apparently has other plans.
Sometimes you have to fight for what you want, and for Jace and Nova they’ll have to battle this war together, or lose it all in the process.

Last To Know is FREEEEEEE!
Yep, you read that right. Last To Know is FREE. If you haven’t read my Willow Creek series now is your chance. This book is honestly probably my favorite I’ve ever written. I love all the characters and their relationships with each other. Plus, Maddox is HILARIOUS and has a pet hedgehog. I also love that it’s more on the YA side (who doesn’t love young love?) and it’s just a feel good book. Feel free to share the link with your friends if you’ve already read and loved it. Everyone needs to meet Maddox and Emma.

Updates
If you’re friends with me on Facebook or in my group then you already know all this but I wanted to share it everywhere so that more of you will know.
As I’ve said previously I haven’t been feeling very good. I thought it was just allergies but when it got to the point that I was unable to keep down most meals I knew something more was going on. I don’t have a primary care doctor since our insurance changed and no one is covered where I live. So I went to the emergency room. I was thinking based on my symptoms that it was my gallbladder. That’s what the urgent care I went to thought too, but the ultrasound they sent me for showed nothing wrong.
So to the emergency room I went.
When the emergency room doctor looked at my ultrasounds it became obvious something was wrong with my kidneys. (The Urgent Care did an ultrasound on my kidneys, gallbladder, liver, and something else I can’t remember)
The ER doctor ordered blood work for me.
It came back and he came flying into the room, pale with this horrified look on his face. “How can you be talking to me?” he asked. I looked at him blankly. “With numbers like this you should be on the floor. You shouldn’t be able to do anything. I’m redoing the blood work to make sure this is right.”
So they redid it. It was the same.
He came into the room with this sad look, head lowered. I knew in my gut I wasn’t going to like what he said.
“Your kidneys are failing. Both of them. The kidney specialist will be by to see you soon.” And then he was gone after dropping this bomb on me.
He came back a little while later and asked me more questions and said the kidney doctor would look over everything and confirm whether or not he was right. That gave me a little hope that maybe, just maybe he was wrong, but I knew in my gut that this was really happening.
Sure enough, the kidney doctor/specialist came in and confirmed that I have end stage kidney disease.
I asked her what would’ve happened if I hadn’t come in that day.
She gave me a sad look, “Well, a few more days and you would’ve dropped dead. You would’ve had a heart attack most likely.”
I asked her how she knew this was what it was and not something else.
“Based on your numbers that shows us this has been happening for a while. That’s how we know it’s chronic. Once you start dialysis and have a transplant you’re going to feel like a whole new person. You’re going to realize this has been affecting you for years.”
You’re probably asking how someone at 23 years old has end stage kidney disease with kidney failure. Well, as a child I had bladder infection after bladder infection. Seriously, I’d get one, get rid of it, and have one a week later. It was constant. I spent most of my childhood sick. And the problem was I didn’t get the normal symptoms. So by the time we knew I had one I was SICK with super high fevers. I met with a kidney specialist (a different one from now) when I was about 16 and he said one of my kidneys didn’t even function and the other was small, both riddled with scar tissue. He told me to take care of my good kidney and I tried, but apparently I didn’t do a good enough job. Something tells me this was inevitable though.
I have a long road ahead of me. I’ll be on dialysis for a few months to get the toxins out of my system. When my kidney doctor (who is amazing by the way) says my numbers are good, she’ll send me to UVA to be tested for a transplant. At that time they’ll ask if I have any living donors and my parents will be tested. Hopefully one of them will be a match and if all goes well this will be over in a few months. It’s going to be rough and I have my good moments and bad moments about this whole thing. It still feels like a really bad dream. Unfortunately I’ve had to cancel my two upcoming signings (Royal Book Bash in the DMV and Indies in Indy) I’m very sorry to do this to you guys but I know you’ll understand. I might have to cancel Glass City Author Event as well, but I’m hoping the transplant will happen this summer and I’ll be healed by then but if it ends up being later I’ll have to reconsider. For all of you that have already reached out to me, thank you so much. Your kind words have meant more to me during this time than you’ll ever know. I love you all and I hope to finally get to work on Broken Hearts and get that to you soon. Writing is my happy place so I don’t plan on letting this stop me.

LIVE ON AMAZON!
First came marriage…
Then came love…
Now comes baby in a baby carriage.
So, at least we did one thing in order, right?
It’s been three years since Xander and Thea’s impromptu Vegas wedding. Since then, they’ve dealt with family drama, his grueling NFL schedule, and her college classes. Now that Thea’s graduated from college, it’s finally time for them to move out and start their life together.
Things couldn’t be any more perfect.
And then a curveball is thrown their way.
Midnight feedings and a screaming infant wasn’t a part of Thea’s five-year plan, but, suddenly, it’s very much her soon-to-be reality. Xander is thrilled at the prospect of parenthood while Thea can’t wrap her head around it.
But, ready or not, here comes baby.
I am sooooo excited for you guys to read this book! I love Xander and Thea so much, and their journey into parenthood was HILARIOUS and so fun to write. You can now purchase for Kindle here: hyperurl.co/9f1noa

I’m breaking up with Facebook and we will NOT be getting back together
Facebook deleted my page today.
My author page.
The one I spent YEARS building up.
The one that was nearing 14,000 followers.
All. Gone.
Every last one of them. And I have no way to tell those people my page is gone. It’s just vanished. When they search it no longer shows up, and I worry they might think I decided to walk away from publishing. I didn’t. I’m still here. I’ll be here, on instagram, twitter, snapchat (@micaleasmeltzer), and my mailing list) There’s also still my friend page on Facebook–I’m trying to figure out how I add the feature for you to follow me there, but you can send me a friend request–I get A LOT and they keep disappearing for some reason so if you really want to be friends with me and I don’t accept right away, send it again please.
I could make a new page, but frankly I don’t want to.
My facebook page, while having nearly 14,000 followers, reaches on average 200 people. If a post does well I might get 1,300 views. Unless I pay to boost a post.
So I’ve decided to “break up” with facebook…though, I guess technically they broke up with me. Though, this is something I’ve been thinking about doing for a couple months now. I was planning to stop using it, but make an announcement on that page that I’d no longer be posting and where to find me. Now, I have no way to do that. I’m not going to cry over it, though. Facebook isn’t worth that to me. If you like me and my books, I know you’ll find me eventually through some sort of social media.
I love you all–and now I’m off, I have a book to write.
