Melany Stone is the author of Strands of Time, the first installment of the Forgotten Shores series, a time travel romance adventure series set in 18th century Cornwall. When she isn’t writing swashbuckling romantic adventures, she enjoys long walks in the countryside, getting absorbed in a good book, drinking green tea, and browsing second hand book stores. She loves reading and writing morally ambiguous characters and stories with slow build romances. She lives a somewhat nomadic life as a full time house sitter, travelling all over the UK looking after other people’s furry friends. She dreams of one day living on a narrowboat and cruising the UK’s canal network whilst penning bestselling novels.
