Bestselling poet Melody Lee brings us her third book, Season of the Sorceress. The collection is broken down into four sections: Fireflies, Wildflower Moon, Black Widow and Rebirth. Lee paints personal experiences and tragedies elegantly into poetry and prose: life lessons of hope, empowerment, enlightenment. She brings the reader with her on her journey of enlightenment and rebirth. Lee has a magical way of connecting her reader to her stories, her poetry, her heart. She begins with self-reflection, by takings us back to her childhood, tapping into memories and base emotions. Her words flow like water from a sacred fountain. Lee writes about love--agape, eros, philia-- being broken by it, growing and finding enormous strength from it. "Without love we are empty vessels, a mass of nothingness. There is no greater power than love, even when it burns us and hurts like hell. Always there something divine that emanates from love." She scatters ashes of romance in each chapter, interlaced with mystical and witchy themes. And true to her free spirit, you feel the gypsy heartbeat pulsing throughout the book.

In Mystic Meadowlark, Melody Lee dipped my fingers inside her magic, and from page one, she held my hand and invited me to dance with her beneath the full moon. She gathered her pack of white wolves, sung me lullabies beside her campfire, and I was entirely under her spell. I sung along beneath the stars. We sipped wine from victorian cups while she moved my soul and drew me in like an interstellar pull. We wept from old wounds and she tended to them gently. She helped me break free from stagnant chains more than once. Melody blanketed the ice on my skin and kept me warm throughout her entire book. Melody makes me want to hire a home inside her heart. She is warm and soulful. A mother to anyone who steps inside her world. A lover of everything strange and wonderful. A warrior that embraces both sides of the coin with an undying fire inside her soul.Melody reaches the reader on a personal soul level. And I am enchanted by her words. She welcomed me home. Melody is a sorceress from old times, and her voice is forged by otherworldly, ancient magick. She is a lover from a different time and her work stands out like the moon on a clear night. This book flows like the tides, dancing to the pull of our beloved moon. Truly a masterpiece. S.A. Quinox, author of Tales of Lacrimosa and Immortalis\nMystic Meadowlark is one part sunlight and two parts moonglow wrapped up in a kiss of enchantment.
