New book! "Theo and the Stolen Library" out now

A tenacious grey rabbit named Theo worked his way into my imagination many years ago and never left. Over the years, his story evolved into an epic tale about a faraway time and place called Mankahar, where animals had the power of speech but where reading and writing were banned. The story was, at its heart, about fighting for what you believed in despite daunting odds.

It's been an amazing journey exploring this story world, which is why I'm so thrilled to announce that the last volume in the "Book of Theo" trilogy is available now in ebook and paperback! In this climax, the fate of Mankahar and everyone in it is decided once and for all as the animals of the Order make a last stand against the human empire. It's an epic adventure of courage, good vs. evil, and the power of the written word.

If you love tales like "Lord of the Rings", "The Chronicles of Narnia", or "Redwall", then "Theo and the Stolen Library" is the adventure for you. Give it a try! Plus, everyone who sends me proof of purchase (melanie at melanieansley dot com) before November 25 goes into the draw to win signed copies of the entire series. Happy reading!
