Author Spotlight! Oaky had the amazing author Melissa Algood on the podcast Tell Me About Your Book last year, and we've decided to do an author spotlight instead of a Midway Check-In for this week. Just shaking things up a bit!

Here's from the podcast:

Melissa Algood (a local to me author!) and I discussed writing characters and writing her Enhanced Being series that is sure to excite your reading journey! I had a great time just listening to her talk about her process and upcoming projects. 

About the book:

Talitha is a twenty-five-year-old telepath that can read your mind, erase your memory, see your aura-and she's been on the run from the lab that created and continues to torture her for more than two years.

Jonas, the Originator, and creator of all Enhanced Beings is determined to replicate the formula for immortality to fully control the entire human race. All he needs is Enhanced Being 815, also known as Talitha, to fall in line and become one of his soldiers. The only problem is Talitha hates Jonas - not only for making her a freak, but for killing her boyfriend, Reed, who had the power to resurrect others, but not the ability to save himself.

Unable to find her way back to her mentor's enchanted manor, Talitha hides in Baltimore, but she's running out of hope and is even contemplating turning herself over to Jonas when she meets Carl - one of only two people in the world who have a blue aura. He agrees to lie for her, takes her home for a meal, and, after finding out who and what she is, he agrees to help Talitha reconnect with her mentor.

However, Talitha is surrounded by treachery, lies, and deceit - and by the time she finds out the truth, it may be too late.
