Mel's Shopping Diary
Thank You to Andrew and Amanda, and all the Blue Bloods fans who came out!
January 23, 2008Oh my goodness, I totally forgot to add that I wanted to say Thank you to the gorgeous Blue Bloods fans who came out to the events!! Thank you for coming to see me, it always makes my day! Special shout out to Andrew, who asked if Schuyler was a Niphilim (yes she is since she’s half-angel) and also to The Fabulous Amanda, whom I will always think of that way, as The Fabulous Amanda, ("TFA") who runs the Blue Bloods message boards--ooh I finally figured out the links! TFA came all the way from Boston to New Jersey and taped the event - you can see it here on YouTube and see our gorgeous cover girls and how wise-beyond-their-years they are.
Anyway, I’ll be giving the Fabulous Amanda and the Blue Bloods message boards a special first-ever exclusive sneak peek of REVELATIONS so sign up if you haven’t already! I’ll probably do it sometime this spring.
xoxo
Mel

Aww Melissa you’re really too sweet! =]
I’m looking forward to this sneak peek and also seeing you again at Book Expo. The event was amazing and I read the Ashleys when I went back to the hotel- awesome book. I can’t wait for Revelations.
Mrs. Duncan, Melissa said the third book should be released in December. She’s currently still working on it so that’s the hopeful date.

My two friends and I all read Blue Bloods and Masquerade. Let me say for the sake of all of us… we’re obsessed. We love the books so much! We just gobbled them right up! They are so climactic and basically, they’re amazing. =]
We are definitely excited about Revelations being released… but December 23 seems SO far away! But I know that it’ll be well worth the wait. =]
The other thing I am VERY excited about is how many books there will be: 9! =] I am a very happy person, and wishing that I could fast forward time to December 23!
My friends and I are already planning on going to Borders the day it comes out to buy ourselves a copy!!!
Loved the preview of Revelations!
Happy Writing!

I actually found out about your books looking through a fashion magazine. The cover of the blue bloods book instantly caught my attention. I read blue bloods in a day and loved it. You are a very talented author and I can’t wait to see how Mimi and Schuyler will act around each other now that they are going to be living together. Yikes!

I Love Blue Bloods and Masquerade their Amazing!!! Can’t wait for Revelations to come out soon. After I read both books in 2 days I let my friends borrow them their obsessed as much as I am. In my opinon I would love to see Blue Bloods in the big screen like many other books like Twilight and A Great And Terrible Beauty are being turned into Movies why shouldn’t Blue Bloods be turned into a movie too? Well thats only my opinion I don’t know about other Blue Bloods Fans but I would personaly love to see it on the big screen. Sincerly Fatima One of the many Blue Blood Fans!

Omg! I absoutley loved the Blue Bloods.
I have to order Masquerade because I can’t find it in any of the book stores where i live.
I think that Blue Bloods is just as good if not better than the Twilight Series!
Thanks for the writers tips! I took lots of notes! I have always wanted to be a writer! And now I know how!
Well thanks for writing AWESOME books!!

On February 16, 2008, Kathy had this to say:
I LOVE BLUE BLOODS AND MASQUERADE!!!
I stayed up until 4 a.m. to finish your books- yes they are that amazing. Right now I am dying to read your third book (Is there one?)
If there isn’t, :[ PLEASE write a third book!!
I am totally agree with allison, who also read the Twilight series. I feel that your books have more action and it just seems like everything is happening all at once- in a good way.

On February 16, 2008, Olivia had this to say:
I am very interested in your series Blue Bloods. The story itself is so entertaining. I couldn’t put the book down, as soon as I finished, I special ordered Masquerade. I had to pass on the book to all my friends, who admit they LOVE Blue Bloods! Thanks for writing an amazing story.
On February 17, 2008, Lea had this to say:
Hello Melissa,
I completely love your books (blue bloods, and masduerade.)
I have one question.... Is schyler and bliss sisters? just askin you don’t have to tell, but why does mimi hate schyler so much? is it because she is a half blood??
thanks,
XOXO

OMG ur book was the best. for some reason BLUE BLOODS just drew me to it. i am so glad i picked it up at B&N;. i am so mad though tht i have to wait till December to read the third one. i really loved both books.
On May 22, 2008, Salina Tulik had this to say:
I love your books so much that the first day I got Blue Bloods it was finished and I needed to read the second one right then. I am also a fan of the Twighlit series and even though most of my friends have read the twilight series and not the blue blood series they say but just hearing me that the books sound almost as addicting as the twilight series. They are so hard to put down. The way you write makes me feel like I am there with Schuyler, Jack, Mimi,Oliver and everyone else. They are overall great books.
On May 31, 2008, Danny had this to say:
Oh wow I’m in love with Blue bloods it’s so perfect and crazy. I saw it at chapters and begged my friend to buy me it for my birthday and now were both obsessed.We both think Jack Force is perfectly hot. I’m rambling but I’m reading the second book as I write this and waiting for the third!

Melissa,
I am a middle school teacher in Vista, CA. My students LOVED Blue Bloods and Masquerade- and so did I ! We all were wondering when the third book is going to be released? We read and recommend books for Barnes and Noble and were wondering if we could preview an ARC of book 3? It would be an honor to work with you and promote your amazing books. Our Recommended Reads are displayed in the Young Adult section, and our program has been very successful.
Thanks again. I will look forward to your reply.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Duncan, 6-7-8 teacher
