Melissa lives in the woods of coastal Maine with her husband, where she writes many flavors of fantasy. Her short stories have found their ways into the anthologies Fight Like a Girl and What Follows, and she is an irregular contributor to the Wordcount podcast. She is also co-creator and Monday contributor to the group blog Anxiety Ink. Between writing, travel, the dreaded day job, and demands of family, she can sometimes be found reciting lines on a stage. Follow her adventures on her personal blog or on Twitter!
