In Pursuit of Maine by Melanie Lee

I am very fortunate to know some wonderful people who do amazing things. Today's post is a little braggy because I'm really proud of one person in particular.

I'm full of pride for one friend who writes. She was one of the forces behind the scenes when my blog was just a thought, an idea, and a maybe; giving me words of encouragement, tips, advice, and just generally being a good friend. I alluded to her in previous posts, but never specifically shared her blog or Facebook page. That changes today.

She's one heck of an amazing and versatile writer. She can write about anything and everything, and she makes you want to read every word, no matter the subject. She writes about nature, mythical woodland creatures, new twists on old legends, mythology, and much more. Her pieces are written with such tone and liveliness that you want to find her magical world and immerse yourself (even I want to do this, and I am NOT the outdoorsy type). I want to amble down the paths she writes about, explore her islands, and find the landmarks that she shares.

She writes poetry that really is, well, poetry. Even her prose is poetry.

I chose today to write about her because yesterday she shared the most wonderful news; she published her first eBook! It's called The Tales of Persephone: A Retelling of the Ancient Eleusinian Mysteries by Melanie Lee, and it's available on lulu.com. She is currently corresponding with Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iBooks and kobo, but for now, you can download it on lulu.com. It's in ePub format, so you can read it on any eReader that supports ePub!

Do yourself a favor, indulge yourself a wee bit and get this book. I did.

Congratulations, my friend!

To be perfectly transparent, she did not ask me to write this. In fact, she doesn't know I'm writing this, so I'm pretty sure she will be surprised (and hopefully not upset) when I post it.
