"As nasty as I knew Peter Terry to be, I never expected him to start kidnapping kids. Much less a sweet, funny little boy with nothing to protect him but a few knock-kneed women, two rabbits, and a staple gun..."

"The Soul Hunter is scary. And funny. And intense. You might find yourself looking under your bed after you read it." Mike Parker, www.buddyhollywood.com

"Free-range anxiety is a lot like a free-range rooster. I can roam about at will, and if provoked, it just might peck you to death. My anxiety, already pushing hard against the fence, broke loose and jumped the chicken wire, clucking madly and scattering feathers everywhere."
- The Soul Hunter

"Texas has a new author to be proud of" Laurie Young, The Dallas Morning News

"I saw the first fly alight on the edge of my plate during supper. This was no ordinary fly. It was huge. The size of a small Volkswagen. I could have painted daisies on it and sold rides to small children."

Author Melanie Wells

Melanie Wells began her writing career by telling lies on the playground. An accomplished fiddle player (she went to SMU on a music scholarship), she is the author of the critically acclaimed Dylan Foster series: When the Day of Evil Comes, The Soul Hunter, and My Soul to Keep (Waterbrook/Multnomah, a Division of Random House). Melanie holds two masters degrees and is a licensed psychotherapist and licensed marriage and family therapist. She is the founder and director of The LifeWorks Group, P.A., a collaborative, creative community of psychotherapists (www.wefixbrains.com), with offices in Dallas and Ft. Worth. She lives in Dallas with her dog, Gunner, who wishes she would not spend so much time at her computer. Fun fact: Lyle Lovett and Robert Earl Keen have both signed her fiddle case

Stay tuned for details of our upcoming I Told Two Friends campaign! Our goal is to raise $100,000 to support adult literacy in America. For the entire duration of the I Told Two Friends Campaign, Melanie will give 100% of her profits (yep, every dime) to ProLiteracy, whch is a non-profit that teaches adults worldwide to read. $100,000 means 100,000 books.

We need you and your friends! (There's good swag in it for you, too!)

My Soul to Keep, the third and best Dylan Foster thriller, again demonstrates Melanie Wells' wit, intelligence and knack for telling a swiftly paced, complex story. Through a wonderful nework of plots and sub-plots -- and the ruminations of the ever-complicated Dr. Foster -- the novel reveals the helplessness and fierce love at the heart of parenting, as well as the way that each of us is responsible for children, our own, and others. Wells takes kids seriously -- their fears, their vulnerabilities, their spiritual wisdom and resiliency. Written with passion, a good dose of humor and, dare I say, soul, this novel reminds us that we all, with grace and good fortune, bumble our way toward salvation.

-- K.L. Cook, award-winning auhor of Last Call and The Girl from Charnelle
