Help me welcome fellow 47North author Melissa Olson to my blog! She's got a brand new book and it looks like it is going to be a humdinger!
My name is
Melissa F.Olson, and I mostly write urban fantasy novels, which are stories about the
intersection of two worlds: the real one that we live in and a world that
involves something supernatural: fairies, vampires, werewolves, mutant killer
hedgehogs, or all of the above. My new novel
Boundary Crossed is about a young woman, Lex, trying to protect her
baby niece from bad guys who have discovered that the baby has serious value on
the supernatural black market. Lex is determined to keep her safe, but
unfortunately she dies at the end of the first chapter.
No, seriously. She dies. But then she gets better, because
it turns out that there’s more to Lex than she ever knew. She needs to figure
out why she’s still alive and what the bad guys want with her niece, and she’s
going to need a lot of help to do it.
The book has been
available all month as a Kindle First deal on Amazon, but it comes out in
paperback and audiobook for the first time today. To celebrate this release,
I’m giving away signed books, a $20 Amazon gift card, and some killer swag.
(That’s a metaphor; the swag will not hurt you.) To enter,
just click on this link. Enter up to four times for the four prizes.
Thanks for reading!
Melissa Olson was born and raised in Chippewa Falls,
Wisconsin, and studied film and literature at the University of Southern
California in Los Angeles. After graduation, and a brief stint bouncing around
the Hollywood studio system, Melissa landed in Madison, WI, where she
eventually acquired a master's degree from UW-Milwaukee, a husband, a mortgage,
a teaching gig, two kids, and two comically oversized dogs, not at all in that
order. She loves Madison, but still dreams of the food in LA. Literally. There
are dreams. Learn more about Melissa, her work, and her dog at
