Melissa Kay Clarke
Melissa Kay Clarke was born in Tupelo, Mississippi and grew up in Houlka, which is a tiny rural town forty-five minutes southwest down the famous Natchez Trace. She discovered a love of reading very early and soon devoured everything that she could. She was told repeatedly that she had a wonderful imagination, and took to scribbling her musings.

Living in the country without any close neighbors guaranteed that she would develop an active imagination. She didn’t have any playmates so she often would make up her own including lives and backstories of their own. She would spend hours playing games with them, building sand castles for each of them to live in, and taking them “swimming” in the mud holes of the soybean fields surrounding their home. This imagination would become a love for creating worlds of her own.

But it wasn’t until college that she tried writing her first novel. But unfortunately, it was rather bad and got lost in the shuffle of transitioning between teen to adult. This minor failure did not deter her desire to write at all, it only cooled it for a little while. This fire was rekindled in the year 2012 with a close friend’s death, a friend that also aspired to become an author.

Robin’s passing reminded Melissa that life’s much too short to just ignore your dreams. So because of Robin, Melissa sat down, determined to finish a novel and publish it. Under a year later, she achieved this goal by publishing “Shattered Dreams”. Her one regret is that she was never able to share this ride with Robin.

When Melissa is not sweating over some new story, she enjoys reading everything and anything she can, feeding her ravenous appetite for the written word, honing her skills as a YouTube connoisseur, talking to her friends all around the world, and getting bossed around by Poppy, her pet conure.

“Shattered Dreams” is the first novel in the “Luna’s Children” series and was released in 2013. Carson is a dreamer that is able to look into somebody else’s past and dive into the mysteries of a stranger’s future that can’t forsee what her own life is gonna become. Resigned to her destiny as the caught prey of some ambitious wolf rather than residing with a life mate of her own, Carson feels defeated.

That is, until she stares into the new pack healer’s eyes. Chase Blackston is a confirmed bachelor with a pretty firm grasp on exactly how his life will be: neat, ordered, and unencumbered. Sent off to Sapphire Lake to replace their aging healer, he had no intention at all of allowing anything change his life or his mind. Attending the mate run for his new Alpha’s daughter, he realizes the prey is far more than she appears, she is his true life mate. Can things get any more complicated than this?

With Sapphire Lake’s future hanging in the balance, along with the obviously evident attraction that grows between Chase and Carson, nobody’s aware of the dangerous presence that’s in their very midst.

“Blades of Scarlet” is the first stand alone novel and was released in 2014. Scarlet’s mantra would be “Why me?” at just 25 years old, she has already gotten weary of her job, not as a biker courier but the other one, the dangerous one. For seven years now she has lurked in the shadows, protecting some very special people. Wrapped in a Legacy that she neither desired nor requested yet bound by duty, she leads a lonely existence doing her thankless job, saving people that are never going to know the sacrifices that she’s made for them.

She’s an Eaeium, which is a protector of those destined to do great things for mankind. It sounds like an amazing job, but she neither desired or requested it. No one ever asked her what she wanted and she is unable to turn her back on her duty. She’s got zero help, zero idea, and nobody to turn to, and no hope for a normal future including friends, a family, and somebody special to love. Until she met him. Is she going to be the hero she is destined to be or is she going to take a chance on love? She cannot have both. Or can she?

“Diamond” is the first novel in the “GEMS” series and was released in 2020. The GEMS play by their own rules. These global problem solvers combine firepower, grace, and smarts, along with a healthy dose of audacious attitudes to get the job done, for a price, obviously. After all, the M stands for Mercenary.

Jackson “Jax” Guillion, who is known as Diamond, leads this band of kickass women, behind the front of this elite travel agency. So what if it leaves a gaping hole in her personal life? She would not trade what she’s got for anything else in the world. Who’s got time to have a personal life when there are wrongs to be righted and some money to make as you do it?

However when this client hires them to locate and return a sick kid’s dad, all bets are off. She will do what it takes to bring the guy back, whether he wants it or not. Too bad no one warned her that he was dangerous, sexy, and exactly her type.

Wes Davenport is running away from the complicated life that he left behind him. Spending his days on the slopes would be his favorite past time, if he was not too busy always looking over his shoulder. Trepidation and shock filled him when just one of those glances back included the beautiful woman intent on taking him back. Gorgeous yet dangerous, he cannot allow his draw to her get in his way, he must continue running in order to survive. She is not going to give up, unfortunately, and neither is he.

Can the these two find a safe middle ground without each getting their hearts involved or are they both going to give in to this irresistible pull that demands they remain together, no matter what?
