Hi!
I’m Melissa.
I write three types of fiction:
Humorous, heartwarming women’s fiction with romantic components that reminds readers they can accomplish anything and overcome everything.
Romantic comedies (Rom-Coms) where giggles & romance collide.
Psychological Suspense where reality is subjective and emotions are high.
My stories, no matter where they sit on the shelf are always a mix, like myself: light and dark, laughter and tears, outlandish and grounded, beautiful and ugly, glitter and charcoal smears.
Real life with a touch of whimsy.
Check out the About Me section for more.
I narrate short stories for Onyx Publications and co-host the Story Discovery Podcast. I love meeting other writers and not only talking about the story, but the imagination behind the tale.
