Mel Stevens

I am an Author and Illustrator, both self-taught. Several years ago, I came upon this site and began my journey for what 'felt right.' I am still on this journey, learning as I go and always more than happy to help others if they want it.

I am a cover artist and illustrator, currently employed by Branch Hill Publications, (www.branchhillpublications.com), Net Bound Publishing (http://netboundpublishing.com), and of course, myself. My first cover is Jim Vires' book, The Evolution of a Conceptual God: Navigating the Landmines, found through Amazon. My illustrations are included in Phibby Venable's latest book, The Wind is My Wine, also available through Amazon.com. My latest project is the cover art for a werewolf anthology, I Believe in Werewolves, which will hit the shelves in the Spring.

My current published works are 'Subliminal Zombification,' in The Vicious Dead, 'Wrong Kind of Hero,' in Vicious Bites, and 'Janie Moss and the Other Point-oh-Two,' 'The Desk,' and 'A Shadow in Time,' in Vicious Spirits, all of which are available through Amazon. My next publication is due out March 15th through The Corner Club Press' (www.thecornerclubpress.com) first e-magazine issue, entitled 'Screams of Death.' My short stories, 'The Seventh Son' and 'The Reunion' are also slated for publication in the spring in a Werewolf Anthology.

Please note: When I critique, I actually critique, (unless its poetry). I will tell you what works, what doesn't work, and my suggestions for fixing the problem. A writer's group is for support and learning, and I take that seriously, especially among friends. If you do not want an actual critique, please do not ask me to read your piece.
