Welcome
Welcome to the Official Site of The Legend of Wahkan
I wanted to thank everyone first for checking out my page! I am the author of The Legend of Wahkan, my first novel. It's a story that has been a part of my life for fourteen years. Yes, I was a young teenager at the time, and I wasn't thinking about hanging out with friends or talking to boys. My mind was elsewhere...
So how did it begin? Like most ideas, The Legend of Wahkan began as an interesting dream, one I couldn't let go of. I was only thirteen years old (January 17th, 2000) at the time just a month shy of my fourteenth birthday. I was a kid who was in love with reading, writing, and the story lines in video games. I guess you can say that I'm a closeted nerd! But honestly, I don't hide it...
To learn more about The Legend of Wahkan, please check out the links above. There is also a direct link to where you can buy your copy. I'm hoping in the near future, I will have more stories to share. Updates will be added periodically. What can I say? I am a busy mom of four, military spouse, and I work in an emergency room! I guess my time management skills aren't too bad..
Last but not lease, I wanted to thank everyone again for the support. Some of you already know my back story and how hard I worked on The Legend of Wahkan. It's not a story for everyone, but you guys still supported me from start to finish. Now for the ones who are just coming to this page to learn more, don't hesitate to message me: melissare220@gmail.com to inquire further. Thanks again!!

I am in the process of reviewing the "galley" aka the interior of my book.
"I am getting tired from the eye strain...But I am still smiling!"
"Sick, but I have someone here to keep me company. It's been a busy holiday season!"
December 16, 2014
The busy holiday season has delayed my progress, and then I can't seem to get over this cold!
January 3, 2014
A new year, a new beginning! Enjoying our last days of snow! We are moving back to Alabama. The review of the galley is back underway.
"Happy New Year! I am not sure if I will miss the snow, but I cannot wait to get back to the south!"
January 21, 2014
I'm back in Alabama! Hoping that my husband will have his orders soon. Working hard on this review!
"My book has gotten longer after this review process, and I'm not even at the halfway point!Whoa!"
February 8th, 2014
The galley has been approved and the book has been sent to the printer!
"I am so anxious to get my copy soon! It should arrive by my 28 Birthday! So excited!!"

Troy University School of Nursing 2016
I am back in college! After having one of my favorite authors since I was kid read my story, I got a lot of great feedback. However, I've put the story on hold. I know what I must do with it, but I must complete this last goal of mine so I can have a rewarding career and hobby! I appreciate everyone who continues to support my dreams.
Exciting Updates for 2018
I am almost done with my journey in nursing school. By December, I will be Melissa, RN! But that's not all the exciting news I have. We are working on getting this title back into the hands of Hollywood's finest. The gamble is exciting, nerve-wrecking, you name it! But it's moving in the right direction...More to come soon.
