Melanie Crouse Releases HIDDEN MAGIC

Hidden Magic is the story of a young girl looking for freedom from her mundane life. Little does she know that the freedom she seeks will change her life forever. It is a young adult novel that perfectly combines fantasy and paranormal elements into a story about love, ancient prohecies and hidden magic.

Author Melanie Crouse said that Hidden Magic came to be from her participation in National Novel Writing Month. NaNoWriMo for short is a non-profit organization with the goal of creating a supportive outlet for creative writing. "Before NaNoWriMo I wasn't a writer", Crouse said, "But since that moment began, I've never truly stopped writing".

When asked what she hoped readers would take away from reading Hidden Magic, Crouse responded with "a smile, and longing for more." Hidden Magic is available in paperback and e-book formats on Amazon.

Melanie Crouse is the author of Hidden Magic, coauthor of the book Alchemy and the CEO of the craziest household in the Western Hemisphere. Lately, both of those full-time jobs have collided, creating chaos on a colossal scale. Which is just the way she likes it.

In her spare time, Melanie likes to play the piano, swim, hike and teach preschool. Whether she has spare time or not, she manages to read prolifically, which probably explains more than it doesn't.

She loves her family dearly, and wishes with all her heart that her teenage children weren't so embarrassed that their mom writes "kissing scenes."
