FLING Boxset releases TOMORROW!!!

Ready for more great news?

Now finally news number three.... drumroll if you please.... I have another book releasing... TOMORROW! That's right. No, it's not from the Fire & Ice Faerie Song Trilogy, and I promise book three is rolling along towards "The End" very nicely.

This story is special because it's the first time I'm participating in boxset, with 6 other talented authors! The boxset is called FLING and my story is Entangled Summer. So what you have to look forward to is an introduction to each of the authors in the boxset, and a little bit of info about their stories. Oooh, and did I mention the price for the boxset is a-ma-zing!? I mean seriously, so worth the tiny investment. It's only available for kindle at the moment, but more formats will follow soon. And Entangled Summer will be released in paperback for those of you who love holding something in your hands.

Keep an eye out this week, as I bring you each of he amazing authors from the FLING boxset and introduce you to their compelling and entertaining stories! And in the meantime, take a peak at Entangled Summer.
(http://www.amazon.com/Entangled-Summer-Michele-Barrow-Belisle-ebook/dp/B00ZVKZM3Y)

It's a New Adult (ages 17+) Urban Fantasy Romance. Perfect for summer reading by the pool or at the beach.

I'd love to know what you think. And make sure to treat yourself to the FLING Boxset. (#NewAdultFling)  It's another summer Must Read! Until next time, happy reading! :)

Shaking the January Blues

Christmas is wonderful.

January... not so much.

For me it's typically a time to get cozy and hibernate, doing lots of writing and sculpting and whatever other creative pursuits catch my attention. While finished off the edits for Bittersweet (I know, I've been promising its release for ages it seems, and it it is coming soon, honest) and revising an New Adult series called Daring Magic, I've been looking and watching for little things that come along to brighten the winter blahs. Tons of snow and super cold, that's been our winter so far. Short of a trip south, I've had to get creative with the things that bring me joy and add a little sunshine. Here are a few things I've stumbled upon along the way:

Receiving a shipment of my book in paperback: Very exciting!

The first person I've seen holding a paperback version of my book Fire & Ice. Sooo exciting to get that photo!

An awesome fan video for Fire & Ice made by the incredible Natasha Vahora who also helps manage my Facebook fan page! :)

Okay, what else... well there's the collaboration with a company exploring the possibility of producing a toy line with my doll sculptures.... very exciting!

And some other potentially SUPER-exciting news, that I can't share with the world just yet. ;)

Winning a contest to submit my latest manuscript to Entangled Publishing! Whoot whoot!

Rocking a new hair style that everyone compliments me on. :) Love that!

Hiring a personal assistant to help take care of some of the social media tasks for me. Someone to manage my Facebook street team... Golden! Thanks so much Sheri Vidal from Author Accomplice!

Somedays its as simple as having my hubby or son surprise me with a latte in the mornings.

Or receiving a lovely note or positive review from a satisfied reader.

I guess the point is that there are little gifts to make us smile all around if we're willing to look for them. So now it's your turn... tell me, what are you looking for to brighten your day or that makes you smile? No winter blues to deal with, all the better... you get to find things just for the sheer delight of it! 

I guarantee that by the mere act of looking, you're sure to find!

Here's to shaking the January blues.

Happy hunting everyone!

Nothing warms the heart and soothes the soul like a kind word. So, please permit me one more opportunity to share another fabulous review of Fire & Ice. There have been so many of them lately that it takes the sting out of the very few unfavorable reviews, rendering them nearly non-existent.

And now I'm off to conquer my flu bug with some hot chicken noodle soup, a warm blanket, a box of tissues and my laptop. If there's any other feel-better remedy you know of that I've forgotten, please do let me know!

Have an awesome day everyone!

My Thoughts:

I know the plot seems intense and maybe far fetched BUT I promise all the characters and their magic will pull you in and make you believe the impossible.  Fire & Ice is a delightful mixture of healing powers, love, secrecy, legends and so much more!  If you love Fae and fantasy this is a MUST read for you!!! Enjoy!!

A Perfect day for a Perfect book review! "Books to Get Lost In (previously Inside the World of Books)"

 

Ever have one of those days where the sky is just the perfect shade of blue and the air is the perfect temperature, and the trees are lit up with the perfect colors of fall? Well today was one of those days. A day that felt utterly and completely perfect... a day where I was asking myself how does it get any better than this. And then, I read a review for my novel FIRE & ICE by Meagan Weiss, a reviewer from the blog Books To Get Lost In and I realized just how much better my perfect day could actually get! It was a spectacular five star review. She also interviewed me, which was a ton of fun. Wanna know the craziest thing I've ever done in the name of research for a novel??? It's in there! As are Meagan's thoughts on the entire story.

Here is a snippet of her review:

Okay so not only did I absolutely and utterly fall in love with this book, but I need more. Like right now!!! And not only did I love the story line and characters and the entire world of Mythlandria and everything else about this book, but I want it as a movie!!! All I kept thinking through the entire book is how amazing this would be to watch. It's like Lord of the Rings meets Harry Potter meets Alice in Wonderland mixed with some awesomeness. And all I want to do is see what this world that Michele has created looks like.

I invite you to take a peek at the full 5 star review via the link below. And don't forget to join in the rafflecopter contest for some cool prizes including an Amazon gift card, becasue I mean who doens't love winning right!?

Have yourself a perfect day!

Lynelle Clark Review and Giveaway for "Fire and Ice"

FIRE & ICE just received an awesome review, take a peek here:

Lynelle Clark Aspired Writer: Review and Giveaway for "Fire and Ice" 

My 4 Star Review

I received this book from the touring host for an honest review.

A tale of magic, fairies's and every fantasy creature you could think of. Lorelei, a frightened young seventeen year old, struggling with stage fright and the fear of blood, soon discovered she had more to worry about then pestering cheerleaders and been called a freak. What set her apart was her healing ability just by touching a person, working in the Tea Room with all its interesting herbs that were actually healing the people without their knowledge. When she met Adruis she had no idea that her world was about to change, forever.

Will full, stubborn, determined, not listening to anyone, with one goal to safe her mother she lands in the land of Mythlandria.

She discovered whom she was as secrets are revealed and a prophecy unfolds taking her deeper into this land with his strange but fascinating life. Always at the run from something with Adrius always at her side. His character, steadfast, willing to risk it all for her as sacrifices are made and lives saved. The budding romance had resistance from the start with the Icy Witch claiming what was hers.

The epic story of good versus evil in a land of make believe, when truths were revealed, hearts were broken, and this mystical land became not so mystical anymore. With many twists and turns in the plot, the author captures your imagination, wondering if the day will be saved. An entertaining fantasy story for people who believe that fairies, magic and witches are real. Descriptive in her storytelling the author will keep you at the edge till the very last page.

Well written the story will pull you into the pages as scene upon scene unfolds with plenty of adventure and action waiting for her. The characters were well crafted and believable. At the end a great story.
