DR. MEL'S MESSAGE - From my novels to my other projects, no telling what you will read. This is the only place you will get to read about how I developed a screenplay into a novel and what is the driving force. I will talk about many things from films to books to acting to producing. It really will depend on where my mind takes me. I hope you will join me on this journey.

I sincerely hope you enjoy the story of Iadore & Ilove. This is the first book in my Magical People series.
I'm thrilled to share the review by booklife:
The first in Hammack’s Magical Peoples series packs emotion and adventure into old-fashioned fairytale storytelling suitable for all ages. King Roland of Westland is on the verge of war with his twin brother, King Richard of Eastland. To protect his people, Roland moves his entire population to a cavern in the mountains. Unbeknownst to him, he has stumbled onto the land of the fairies. Overcoming her distrust of humans, fairy Queen Gemeenah embraces the new arrivals, explains how they can live in harmony, and sets up a co-equal government with King Roland. When Roland’s queen Isadora delivers a baby girl, Roland exclaims, “I adore you already beyond all words,” inspiring her name: Princess Iadore Daisy. When six-year-old Iadore suffers a fatal injury, Gemeenah revives her with her fairy light, bestowing Iadore with the fairy powers of speaking with animals and making plants grow.
Hammack imbues this gentle story with minimal conflict, focusing instead on magical wonder, love of nature, a righteous king (Roland invents representational democracy!), and the emotional connections between family and friends. The cheerful tone and language are inspired by older bedtime storytelling traditions: “Nectar flowed in all the cups,” Hammock writes, of a celebration. “Every dish of food was devoured. Everyone agreed this was the most joyous festival yet.” Sprinkled throughout are stories about dwarves and giants, other visitors to the fairyland, and Iadore’s distant descendant, a young girl named Ilove, who speaks to the animals and can see fairies. Ilove learns about her ancestry and plays an important role in dispelling a magical enchantment.
With fairytale innocence, broad world-building, and scant descriptions, the book allows readers to fill in the blanks with their own imagination. Love and understanding between different races and between children and parents provide a comforting message of compassion and empathy. This simple story of brave and sympathetic characters is suitable for readers of all ages.
Takeaway: A gentle fairytale in the classical mode, suitable for all ages and bursting with magic, fairies, and love.
Great for fans of: Gail Carson Levine’s Ella ENchanted, Juliet Mariller.
Coming soon…. Vander

When your blood’s worth more than gold, do you save yourself or the world?
Regina Stone is a typical everyday teenager, raised by a single mother in a modest home. She goes to school in a building surrounded by armed guards and barricades, living in constant fear of a deadly virus. And like every other kid in Providence C, she eagerly awaits her Pinning Ceremony at renowned scientist Frank Azzard’s Dome.
There, she and other sixteen-year-olds will get their first dose of a lifesaving antidote. But things are not what they seem. Regina’s blood sample causes chaos in the Dome, and she finds herself under constant surveillance. But her life as she knows it ends when an outcast student, Kenji, breaks Regina out of her cell.
Kenji reveals a hidden world of deceit and manipulation all centered around one man. Frank Azzard. They have been in search of the cure—the perfect DNA to make one vaccine for the world. And with Regina’s arrival, they’ve found it.
Now on the run, the children are hunted. But they are not alone. A mysterious rebel named Hunt and Regina’s teacher, Mr. Ace, appear and guide them to temporary safety.
On the run, the world falls apart around the young girl. Yet, all the while, everything and everyone seems to be connected to Regina.
Regina and Kenji must make it to the safety of the rebel Nest before Azzard and his soldiers find her. But will Azzard have an upper hand that will force hers?
