Hi !
How is it already pumpkin season? I was making resolutions yesterday, I'm almost sure of it! 😳
If you've been wondering why I vanished off social media, Meta disabled all of my accounts (with no warning) and my appeal was never reviewed so there went ten years of hard work and ad spend.
I've heard it's a common problem right now, but there's no use shouting into the void, so I pulled up my big girl pants and moved on. I started a small instagram account, and made a few videos of how to protect your social media accounts You can find them here or read below for the highlights :)
Here are a few quick tips:
1. Don't link your Facebook and Instagram accounts. My Facebook was disabled and Meta automatically deleted my Instagram the same day.
2. Don't give IG or FB your phone number. Meta owns Whatsapp, so if you give them your number, your WA is at risk too.
3. Do not sign into anything with Facebook. I have paid apps I cannot access because I logged in with a FB account that no longer exists.
4. Melissa used FB as her backup photo album. Don't be like Melissa. Be smart and use OneDrive/GoogleDrive or the Cloud instead:) I lost 15 years worth of photos and memories in a single second.
5. Don't rely solely on social media for marketing. Find other ways to reach your audience, too. Exclusive Mailing Lists, for example ;)
If you have any questions, just pop me a mail and I'd be happy to answer as best I can, based on my experience!
In the meantime... BOOK NEWS!
🖤 SHADOW MAGIC IS HERE 🖤
I've been working on this project with Muonic Press for some time now, under tight deadlines, which is why I've been scarce. BUT IT WAS ALL WORTH IT. How gorgeous is this cover?! And the inside isn't half-bad either ;)
Here's what it's about:
Half-witch. Half-vampire. One hundred percent badass.
Tired of the same old urban fantasy story? Welcome to your new addiction.
***
Seattle isn't just sleepless, it's a ticking time bomb as a conflict between witches and vampires escalates to all-new heights.
For Grayer Morgan, a half-witch, half-vampire, the conflict becomes all too real when she discovers that her own grandmother has worked to create a weapon to destroy all vampires - forever.
Torn between her love of family and the fires that burn inside, she enlists the help of a motley crew to find and destroy the weapon before it can be used.
Unfortunately, not all those who smile are friends... and some will stop at nothing to seize power for themselves.
Best of all, the Shadow Magic series is available to read FREE on Kindle Unlimited. [If you're not a KU customer, book 1 is on a new release promo for only 99c.] You can check it out here:
🖤 BOOK 2 IS ALREADY OUT! 🖤
No need to wait for the next release, it's already here! The Shadow Huntress is book 2 and its out now! This is a rapid release series, so book 3 is up for pre-order, and will be released at the end of this month. I AM SO EXCITED! And did I mention these covers make me so happy?

Much love,
Melissa
