Romance Writer. Animal Lover. Sports Fan. Travel Addict. Mellie Callahan is a native Texas girl who loves Dr. Pepper all the time, the Houston Astros most of the time, and her furry friends most of all. A alumna of Texas A&M University, Mellie has been reading and jotting down stories for most of her life. After years of starting and stopping with creating a story of her own, Mellie finally decided to give this writing thing a real try and her first contemporary romance novel, Ruff House, releases on January 24, 2018. She writes real, strong heroines and flawed, swoon-worthy heroes in stories that mix humor, heat, and heart for an unputdownable read. When she’s not writing down all the voices in her head, Mellie loves planning her next biggest adventure, yelling at the Houston Texans, tending to her little garden, eating anything with sugar, playing trivia to win, and spending time with her family and friends. She currently lives in College Station, Texas with one very spoiled 70-pound-lapdog named Hank.
