Be a pineapple: Stand up straight, wear a crown, and always be sweet on the inside. Melissa Filla is a rom-com author. She resides in a small town in Illinois with her husband and fur-babies. She is a bonus mom to one amazing son who shares her love of reading. When she’s not writing, Melissa spends her days working, spending time with her mom, sisters, nieces, nephews, and friends, reading and reviewing for her blog 2 Chicks And A Book with her cousin Kat Boffa and their friend, also Melissa's PA, Jaime Deichmann. She has a fantastic support system and cheering squad, as she sometimes puts it. Melissa has always wanted to write, and when her friend and fellow author, Jaime Russell suggested they co-write together, well the rest is history. Melissa still fan-girls when meeting her favorite authors, and will always believe that authors are her rockstars! Besides family and books, Melissa loves to laugh. If you follow her on social media, you have seen the dad jokes posted that she's obsessed with. She knew choosing the genre of rom-coms to write was an easy one. She believes if she can make one person laugh at something she writes, she is winning. Although, she secretly hopes she gives readers the feels and maybe a tear or two, lol.
