How did it all start?
MAGIC. I’VE ALWAYS BELIEVED IN MAGIC: THE MAGIC IN THE WIND, IN THE EARTH, IN LOVE. I WANTED TO TAKE THAT MAGIC AND MAKE IT REAL, WEAVE IT IN A WAY WHERE OTHERS COULD FEEL IT TOO. AND NOW, BECAUSE OF MY STORIES, I HAVE.
Melissa had a difficult time speaking as a child, and thus writing became her best friend. There she learned the power of emotion, how to communicate heartbreak, sadness, tragedy, and still hope for something better: the happy ever after.
She loves to write imperfect, possessive heroes, that will risk their lives for those they love, strong heroines that can hold their own, and steamy scenes that grab you by the throat and bring you to your knees.
Melissa lives in a small town off the coast of Egypt, and is a huge mythology buff, with a love of all things magical, supernatural, paranormal, and steeped in lore and fantasy. When she is not writing Melissa can be found singing and dancing her heart out, or up, late at night, contemplating space and the universe with a large cup of tea.
