Jared the fierce Were-taby meets Morgan

I've changed Melisa's name to Morgan when I realized I had another Melisa in an other ms of mine. I don't want to keep using the same name so a name change was in order.

New novel coming October 10th Visit davidnalderman.com for more... Falling Her shimmering white hair flowed in waves behind her, as if the strands were banners that were moving with the rhythm of the dark wind.

What a good excuse to go shopping

I have a booksigning on the 19th. What a good excuse to get a new outfit and have my hair and nails done. Plus I bought new ink pens and lots of chocolate. I think I'm all set. I'd love it if you would tell me about some of your booksigning events--what went well, what didn't. I must say, I prefer writing in my bed, but I am trying to transform into an social butterfly as fast as I can.

A Poem written for the novel "So Said To Be"

When one life ends another life begins taking its new shape, a new meaning, a purpose… If we find ourselves lucky enough to enjoy some of the things life has to offer, to most the battle is won. My life should be my own my freedom to live, to breathe, and to love. The moment I saw you I knew, but your heart was empty.
