Welcome to Melange Books, LLC
Hello Readers,
If you like romance, adventure, science fiction and fantasy, we’ve got some excellent, entertaining novels we’re releasing today. Praxton 3 by N. S. Howard is filled with lust, love, and kink that will leave you sitting on the edge of your seat, wanting more when it ends. A Ranger’s Tale by Mysti Parker, is fantasy at its best. Delve into the unusual world of Tallenmere. I guarantee you will fall in love with the characters. Guardian2632 by Nora Weston, is an adventure tale, filled with action, time-travel and suspense. Hot Days Anthology by T. D. Jones tells two very different stories; one filled with sweetness and joy, the other a fun, sexy little romp with a cocky town sheriff that will make you smile—maybe even laugh. Kiss the Magic Mountain by Eric Ellert is a riveting WWII novel that leaves you feeling both happy and sad—an excellent depiction of what happened to the lives of so many after Pearl Harbor. New Moon Rising is a catastrophic story that will make your heart pound—and even think that the creation of a second moon is possible. Enjoy!

New Moon Rising
By Walt Trizna
The Pacific Plate is one of the most geological active areas in the world, and the site of nearly constant volcanic and earthquake activity. The Ring of Fire, in the Pacific Ocean, will soon escalate its impact on mankind. Two brothers, one a geologist, and one a surfer are at the center of an event that will change the Earth, forever.

EXCERPT
New Moon Rising
By Walt Trizna
Prologue
In countries bordering the Pacific, needles on seismic charts formed tiny squiggles, and then moved violently side to side. Moments later, the machines themselves began to move, fell from shelves as the over buildings that housed them crumbled.
Wade Randall stood on a hillside. He looked to where the Golden Gate Bridge once stood and surveyed the destruction. As far as he could see, columns of smoke issued from devastated buildings. People who survived wandered around in shock and horror. The world they once knew had come to an end. The piers of San Francisco no longer jutted into the ocean; they now stood in mud. The shore, once close, was now distant.
“God help the world,” Wade said to himself, “the prediction came true.” It had been two years since events put into motion this cataclysm.
Wade thought about his family and friends, some now distant, and his heart ached wondering if they were still alive; wondering how many millions around the world had died.
The predicted event seemed impossible, even to him. Many chose not to heed the warning and many died. The irony was that in the history of life on Earth, the irregular cycles of destruction by asteroids were now accepted as fact. Everyone looked to the sky for the next cataclysmic event to visit Earth; no one expected that the next ruinous event, on a scale unknown to man, would come from beneath the sea.

PUBLISHED POEMS
The year was 1982 and New Worlds Unlimited published two of my poems in their anthology, Dreams of the Heroic Muse.
LOVE VISITED
Love visited me once
on a moonlit night
lasting six months;
I grew,
was nourished
became almost human
as my being sought a home.
I held the moon at arm’s length
and watched it grow small
as its certain cycle
continued to darkness.
The baying of dogs rings untrue,
the sky is empty.
I wrote the following poem in remembrance of my grandmother.
ROSES
Roses were her love,
great flowing rainbows of pink, red and white.
Her children, small strangers would come
and each take home
a fist full of gaily colored affection.
Roses were her love,
And when rest had finally come from roses
roses were hers,
Elegant creations of empty colors
looking out on empty eyes.
Roses were her love,
And now her small garden
has yet to discover
a rose.
NEW MOON RISING
Mélange Books website is up.
My book, New Moon Rising, is now available as an eBook. Perhaps in a month, it will be available in a paper edition.
NEW MOON RISING
My reluctant readers,
Soon your reluctance will change; I hope.
My novel, New Moon Rising, will appear early next year. It was selected for publication by Midnight Showcase which will soon morph into Mélange Books.
I thought I’d share with you the book cover.
UPDATE
My reluctant readers,
Here is what I am up to and what you might expect in the future.
I have quit my part-time job and am now a full-time writer. Hopefully, that means you will have more to read on this site.
My novel, New Moon Rising, was due to be published by Midnight Showcase in January. Midnight Showcase is closing this December, and morphing into Mélange Books. I have signed a new contract so my book should still be published. I will keep you updated.
What I am really excited about is other novel that has now been edited and rewritten; The Beast Awaits is the title. Once I get what is necessary together, query letter, synopsis, stuff like that I will start trying to find a publisher.
To keep you occupied while this is in the works, I shall entertain you with some poetry. What the vast majority of the world does not know, and with good reason, is that I spent more than thirty years thinking I was a poet. During that time, I published poems in extremely insignificant anthologies. I am boldly going to share those poems with you.
Look for the heading, Published Poems. I can feel the anticipation.
Take care my friends,
Walt
