About the Author

Melissa S. Rodgers

Melissa S. Rodgers—a surgical nurse by day, freelance editor and writer by night—lives in the rural community of Carlton, Pennsylvania with her husband, and that’s how she likes it—small, quaint , peaceful, and quiet. The only interruption in her day is a rambunctious two-year-old grandson (aka Theo-Bug) who can rattle the rooftop with his contagious laugh. But that's okay. Melissa loves to laugh and incorporates humor in all her works. When she isn't writing or editing, Melissa enjoys long, quiet, excruciating hikes to the top of mountains, because if she can endure a climb like that, her characters can live through anything and everything she throws at them.

    His scent wafted under my nose, and my nostrils flared. If hotness had a smell, this would be it. A faint hint of cedar and sandalwood … smoldering.

    A crow.
    The bearer of bad news. The harbinger of death. The courier of spirits.
    It cawed three times, and I quivered.
    Bad things come in threes.

    While I slept, a fantastical creature, so colorful and lifelike, ruled my dreams.

     Big, bold, scary ... yet brilliant.

    but holy ... I am not.
