THE INVASION: Book II of the Uprising Trilogy

The king is restored. The country is safe. But the enemy is coming.

     Nathaniel Fletcher, Logan Harling, and Jacob Douglas have already saved the Kingdom of Riktenburg once. After ousting a group of religious radicals, the Faith, from power, they've put King Phillip back on the throne. Celebrating their success, the men get married and hope to settle down in their new lives.
     But nearby Austria has seen the turmoil in Riktenburg as its chance to swallow the tiny kingdom into its growing empire. And the Faith too wants revenge. Together, Austria and the Faith gather their armies and rally their people. They will also have the help of a Riktian traitor: Joseph Klein, once the king's friend and minister of war. Now, he wants blood to run through the streets of Riktenburg.
     Facing this threat, King Phillip dispatches Nathaniel, Logan, and Jacob on a secret mission to Austria.
     Their goal: assassinate Joseph Klein and prevent the invasion the whole world knows is coming.
     The Invasion is the next installment in the heart-racing Uprising Trilogy.

GREY SHORE OF CONSCIENCE



     Grey Shore of Conscience, the novella I wrote about a court-martial in the Royal Navy of the Napoleonic Era was picked up by The Long Story, the only literary journal in North America which publishes longer pieces.

FINDING THE CAROL: A Charles Dickens' Christmas Story


     Christmas is approaching fast in Victorian London. The snow is falling, carolers bustle about the streets, and all the while, Charles Dickens — England's greatest author — slaves away over A Christmas Carol, his new masterpiece. The story will be his tour de force against the evils of poverty in England. Surely, it will force the rich to look at the beggars with pity and honor the Christmas spirit, he thinks. But when Dickens loses the manuscript amid the snowfall, he has a thing or two to learn about Christmas himself . . .

The P***S Mightier than the Sword, or How to Approach Sex in Your Writing

It’s no surprise to say that sex sells, in movies, in media, and in books. Despite all the author/publisher rights’ debates recently, Harlequin Romances are still selling; people want to read about others having sex. Erotica, by definition, excites, plain and simple. But how do you handle it in your books? It’s all well and good to want to tantalize your readers or explore a more racy side to your writing, but what about when your friends, and God-forbid, parents and children read the sex scenes in your book? Should you edit them out based on that personal audience, or should those bodices keep ripping? (Excuse me while I choke on my coffee) As an author, you have several options:           1.       Use a Pseudonym           2.      Be Discreet           3.       Refuse to Care Pseudonyms J.K. Rowling, Nora Roberts, Stephen King, the Bronte Sisters, Michael Seeley. All of these authors have used pseudonyms. Some noms de plume have become far mor

Fall News

Hello Readers!    I just wanted to write a quick bit of news. I am indeed still alive. However, things in the writing field have slowed down in the last couple months. I'm still in law school, and I'm also dealing with other medical issues in my family. So, writing has taken the backseat this fall.    But, I did manage to finish a second draft of The Gods' Punishment. Clocking in at 149,000 words/570 MS Word pages, it's a doozy. It'll need a lot of editing before I have a final, readable draft ready. I've put the manuscript to rest for a while and will likely get back to it this spring. I'm debating whether or not to attempt traditional publication for this one. As everyone knows, that's always a long-shot, and it also takes a long time. But, if you're really excited about reading it, go ahead and send me an email (mi_seeley@hotmail.com), and you could be a Beta reader!    In the meantime, I did get a 10,000 word novella done for a Law and Litera

Doing the Work: 2020

Hello, all.      It's been quite some time since I've written, but 2020 for me has been about getting back to my writing, sitting down, and doing the work.      During law school, I commissioned into the Navy and after graduation and initial training, I was stationed in Japan from 2017-2019. This experience was incredible, and I got to travel widely, was deployed, and mostly worked on honing my professional craft as a lawyer and officer. Although I continued to write as I found time, it was largely personal journals on my experience underway, etc.      We've now moved to Oak Harbor, WA, and I've buckled down to be more productive about my writing. I n the last year, I edited and finalized a book about Alcibiades of Athens and the ancient Greek Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta. I'm currently shopping this for traditional publication.      Next, I finished planning Uprising , the conclusion to the Ruritanian historical fiction trilogy. I'm n
