Hello Everyone and Good Morning...
My name is Melissa Keir and I'm the author of four short novella's now (with more to come!). What makes my stories interesting is that my characters are people you would meet at the grocery store or even at work. I write contemporary romance that feature moms with children, divorcees, and small town girls who fight against all odds.
In my life, I'm like one of those characters. I live in a blended family of his, mine, and ours (ours being the dogs) but I wouldn't want it anyother way! I'm also an elementary school teacher who loves teaching children about the imporance of reading and enjoys instilling that passion for reading in their lives.
I hope that you will get to know me a little bit through my stories. And that you will find yourself among my characters too... strong work ethic, strong character, a growth mindset, and a belief in love and happily ever after.
If you want to connect with me, my website is www.melissakeir.com. or you can reach me on facebook or twitter.

Good Morning Goddess Fish! Intro Triad Author Sharita Lira
Ah, it's great to be back at Goddess Fish again. Weren't I and the muses just here last week? *shakes head* Such is the life of an author who tries to make it in the world of writing. Millions of authors exist and you hope that maybe, just maybe you stand out among the rest.
I'm sure a load of people think I write under 3 penames for marketing. WTF? No! *holds up hands*
No way have I done this to get more attention. The three penames came one by one because of the different personalities that each one has. Whether its my snarky muse, BL or my gay male muse who is long winded, Michael, or the sweeter sensual Rawiya, they all have a certain type of story and voice they like to use in their tales. I don't even do it to separate genres. *sighs* Only because there are 3 distinct muses that all want their say so in very different ways.
Do I keep up? Honestly I try. *laughs* But it's still hard to do this and really it will continue to be as the plot bunnies come up in my brain.
What I'd like to achieve is to be able to write a fabulous story, one people will enjoy, maybe find humorous, emotional, and sexy. I like romance, tension, heartfelt tales that pull at your strings and teach you soemthing along the way. As my fellow author Xakara says, I write about people. Gay, straight, lesbian, eventually, doesn't matter. I love stories about people getting over struggles to find the ultimate partner. All 3 muses take a different road to get there, but that's usually the end result.
Now, all that being said, today I'm happy to feature 2 of the 3 muses since they both have releases. BL, my wicked snarky muse with My Lieutenant and gay male muse Michael Mandrake with The Power of Muse and Inspiration.
I'll let them tell you more.
Thanks for being here with me and the muses. *raises eyebrow* I hope you'll enjoy the posts throughout the day.
Here's where you can find us.

Introduction - Sharita Lira aka Michael Mandrake
Introduction – Writer Sharita Lira
Welcome to the Goddess Fish party with many others in attendance. So many familiar names are here today like Randi Alexander and Lila Munro who actually is a fellow writer with me at Rebel Ink but also one of my fave people in the genre, Em Petrova as well as new fellow author, Sarah Bella.
You may notice all the others but mine may still be a mystery. In erotica writing, I might be known as Miss crazy or confused since I write under three different pennames. My editors don’t even get it so I don’t expect you as a new reader to either.
I don’t mind saying that I’m still green in this world. I prefer to stay grounded instead of building myself up and I take my failures the same way I do my successes, with a grain of salt. Don’t get me wrong, I celebrate which each new accepted story and I get miffed when people don’t accept my work, but I refuse to get too high or low because the world of writing is full of ups and downs and to keep myself from going insane even though I may already be that, I prefer to be this way and save myself a lot of emotional drama.
Who is Sharita Lira?
Sharita Lira is a married mother of two who lives in Chicago. She prefers to keep an open mind about everything, loves metal music, Duran Duran, hot men, her laptop and meeting new people.
Who is the Author, Sharita Lira?
Well, that is where it gets more complex. I write under 3 penames called the Triad
Why 3? Well, let’s try to sum this up without boring you. Michael Mandrake is my complex muse. He writes more broader subject matter with the erotic or romance spliced in. He would be the one that would do a paranormal, a murder suspense, a spy caper, or even tackle a difficult subject like he did in the last anthology from Sizzler Editions, Only When I Lose Myself where his supporting character has AHD.
Rawiya is my more sensual, intimate muse. A lot more like myself. She writes contemporary romance usually, MMF and MF and some mm but writes with more of the fluff if that makes sense. She’s the most emotional of the 3.
Then lastly, is my oldest muse, BLMorticia. She can do it all. She’ll do some complex, some paranormal, intimate but with more humor and snark. Shes also the rebel who will write the things the others may not touch. BL has been with me since my late teens and is happy that I’ve started to write from her perspective once again.
So, what kinds of stories do you expect from the Triad?
Hopefully, the kind that titillate, intrigue, and entertain. They all aim to so that in several ways. To find out more, please visit the blogs and various sites that my muses are on.
Today is Michael’s day so here, we’ll focus on him.
Hope you’ve learned a little more about me. Enjoy my next posts.

Before I start posting about my books today, I wanted to say Hey and tell you a little bit about myself. First of all...I'm really glad to be visiting Goddess Fish today and hope I get a chance to chat with some of you!
I live on a hobby farm in Indiana with 8 dogs, 4 horses, 1 barn cats, 2 daughters, and one husband. I write books I like to read and read books I wish I’d written. My books are fast paced and fun loving. Not one of them will solve a single world problem, but you definitely won’t be bored while reading them!
My published work includes 29 works of romantic suspense and fantasy/paranormal. My books have won the Dream Realm Award for fantasy, been nominated and/or won several CAPAs, were nominated for Best of 2010 with LRC and The Romance Reviews, and won eCataromance’s Reviewer’s Choice award. I am published with Ellora’s Cave, both Romantica and Blush, and Red Rose Publishing.
