I love stories. All the stories, even the stories that don't seem to have a home. I write a lot of those. I love the flash fiction format. I love prompts, and often write stories based on prompts. FYI - the world in which the story you are reading now is in, literally started with a two-line flash fiction prompt. I hope someday I grow up and be a paid creative fiction writer. Who knew it would be easier to be a technical writer first? (NOT ME).

Hi Readers -

You might have noticed that I've deleted the Firebaugh Resort Series. Truth is, both stories in that series are now going to be or already published on Amazon and other places, and I didn't feel that leaving up the old versions would be beneficial any longer.

You can always find any of my work, WIP or otherwise, in the following locations:

mleaden.com
mleaden.substack.com
patreon.com/mleaden

Signing up as a free or paid member on Patreon also gets you access to ARCs as they are released. The next ARC will be an updated and edited Firebaugh Resort story!

The story originally called "Calm Heart" has a new title and has been expanded, but still has the main story.

Thank you for continuing to read and recommend my stories to others!

~Enjoy!

Hello community! Thanks for subscribing and reading! If you're interested in edited versions of my books, you can find them on about every platform you can think of. Right now I have a new release on Amazon/KU!

The Web of Athena is another story from Firebaugh Resort! It's short, hot, and features some familiar characters! Have a great day!

Welcome to all my new readers! I hope you're enjoying the stories here.

Thank you to those that are enduring ads to read my stories. That's the only way I'll see any revenue on this platform.

If you'd like to enjoy my stories ad-free (and edited), check out mleaden.com/books for other places you can find where to get my books.

There's also my patreon, and my newsletter, if you're interested in keeping up with what I'm working on.

Thanks again for your interest, and your continued support!

Hi Everyone!

Thank you for reading my books! I hope you're enjoying them as much as I enjoyed writing them.

The only way I get reimbursed on Tapas is via ads, so if you can read without an ad blocker on, that would help! You don't have to click them, just let them pop up in the margins.

If you'd like to read more, consider checking out my website!
mleaden.com

And if you have a particular platform (other than Tapas) you like to purchase your reading from, let me know!

All of my books are on KoboPlus. I am also sharing work as I develop it on Patreon. You can sign up to that and FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE for free, and you'll get all the SFW chapters. If you subscribe, your monthly payment goes towards writing and various commissioned art pieces of the characters in my books. Plus you can participate in the community chats.

It's pretty rough for a lot of authors right now, so any support is awesome!

You can find all the necessary links here:
mleaden.com/links

Enjoy!
Mel

Just found out that I have about $23 of ink monies hanging out on Tapas. The threshold to cash out is $25. If anyone wants to trade $2 worth of ink (I think that's like 2k?) I'll happily ink ya if you ink me! :) No pressure!

Wonderful Tapas folks! I'm shifting my serialized writing style over to Patreon. If you like my stories, please give me a follow over there. I'll have free posts and chapters along with paid content. Tapas has been good to me, but it's not the community I remember. I'm hoping Patreon will be more accessible and easier for folks to keep up with me.
