The Reader's Round Table with Melissa Alvarez Welcome to The Reader’s Round Table where I’m bringing together readers for two very important reasons. First, I want you, the reader, to meet novelists and nonfiction authors. I’d like for you to get to know your favorite authors on a deeper, more personal level to find out the way they work as a writer or what they like to do for fun. I’ll also introduce you to new writers that you may not have read yet but who may be your next “must buy” author. For writers I want you to meet others in the publishing industry. But the name of this show has a double meaning. The second purpose of this show is for a psychic reader (me) to bring you answers to your questions about clairvoyance, the paranormal, past lives, and other areas of metaphysics. Each week, at the end of the show, I will answer one free question that is sent in via the show’s home page. Some weeks I’ll even have segments of the show specifically to give free readings. I have also scheduled experts on metaphysical topics and other psychics to answer your questions. The Reader's Round Table, has booked out through the end of May.

Thank you to everyone who voted! Syneca did a fabulous job designing the cover. I love Erin's description of the cover. She said: MARCH - WEEK 4 Howling winds. Branches whipping against window panes in the dead of night. All of nature in such a fury that you wish you could wrap your arms around everyone and everything you care about. Syneca's cover art for Ariana Dupré's Night Visions reminds me of such nights. The eerie stillness of the house just begs for a vision of embraced lovers, who are beautifully rendered below yet we can't be sure they're really there because we seem to be looking at them through the shutters. Is it a dream or not? Night Visions is published by Cerridwen Press. If you like to vote for more Book Covers Of The Month please visit Erin's site and VOTE!
