Somewhere between thirty and dust...red hair, blue eyes...six kids, one slightly used husband, and any number of pets from time to time... wanttabe hippy... wanttheirmoney yuppie... pro musician and actress for 20 years...native Oregonian... lover of music, beauty and all things green. Willing slave to the venerable muse.

When she is not writing, Minnette helps teach remedial reading, writing, and math at a local elementary school. Minnette currently resides in Beaverton, Oregon with her husband, having replaced the children with five cats and one dog (there shall always be six!).

Her first novel, Starsight, Volume I, will be released in March of 2008 and the sequel Starsight, Volume II in November. The Centurion & The Queen, a historical romance set in 60AD Roman Britannia, is currently available with Resplendence Publishing. In addition to her novels, Ms. Meador has a feature in the Cup of Comfort for Single Moms coming available at Amazon.

New Release: THE CENTURION & THE QUEEN - Available Now
I am very happy to announce the release of The Centurion & The Queen , now available in e-book format (http://www.resplendencepublishing.co... and paperback (http://www.resplendencepublishing.co... from Resplendence Publishing. As a treat to help me celebrate, I have designed a video (see video attached to event) with some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard, by a composer named Stephen Carroll. Take a look at the video and you could win one of two autographed copies of The Centurion & The Celt and a copy of the CD of this beautiful music. All you need to do is go to my website at www.minnettemeador.com, select the Mailing List Icon and put in April CD Giveaway in the subject line. I will enter you into this special drawing. Below are comments from people who have already read the book and A BRAND NEW EXCERPT for your enjoyment. NIGHTOWL ROMANCE - OUR REVIEW: Minnette Meador's Centurion and the Queen will transport you back to 60 AD Britain…This book was my first one by Minnette and I'm looking forward to reading more of her works. She brings you into a new time and very quickly has you integrated into the lives and settings of her characters. You feel for them like they are your friends and easily develop emotional bonds with them and their community. I encourage you to try out Minnette's work and see how enmeshed you will become in her wonderful settings. This book pulled me in and I read it in two sittings, just before bed and right when I awoke. TIA FANNING, AUTHOR - Okay, another great read I just have to recommend to you all! (Here's where I start gushing...) You all have to read The Centurion and the Queen by Minnette Meador. It's awesome!!! What a thrilling story!!! Honestly, this has to be one of the best historicals I've read in very a long time. The story will leave you gasping, smiling, screaming at/cheering for the characters, and wishing this book would be made into a movie. The interaction between Marius and Delia is amazing and breath taking. Congrats to Minnette for writing such a wonderful story. I can't wait to read what this author comes out with next. Marius has been stationed on 60 AD Britannia for sixteen years. Once a celebrated hero and a famous Praetorian Guard, he still clings to the old traditions as a fair but tough leader to his men, despite the shame that drove him from Rome. Delia is sister to an uncaring Corieltauvi tribal king. Powerless, she watches as hundreds of Bretons succumb to their suicidal pride and throw themselves against the unstoppable Roman machine. The last thing Delia expects is to find her body craving the touch of her enemy. The sudden intensity of their desire will change the history of a country. Separated by fate, they are thrown into the clash between 80,000 angry Bretons and a clever Roman general with only 10,000 soldiers. Marius and Delia find themselves on opposing sides, in love, and unable to stop the future. The revolution that sparked their desire... could now destroy them both. EXCERPT: THE CENTURION & THE QUEEN by Minnette Meador She was all at once a furious ball of flailing fists and Marius had to hold her shoulders tightly to keep her on the stool. "This is your fault!" She went into a screaming fit of Gaelic and he did not understand much more of it. "You killed my father!" she finally shrieked in Latin, her fists landing on his shoulders, barely missing his face. All at once, an uncontrollable desire came over Marius and he could not stop himself. In one fluid motion, he lifted her from her seat, pulled her into his arms, and crushed her mouth with his. The touch of fire from lip meeting lip sent a wave of passion, a scintillation of lightning from Marius' toes to the top of his head in an instant. He felt Delia stiffen and then, without volition, collapsed into his arms when they wrapped around her. She rose to her toes and lifted her hands to touch his bac
