So, we have made it to Day Five! Woot!
Those of you who know me, know that I spend a lot of time
online. I am very proud of the fact that I won Authors After Dark Most
Accessible Author Bookie Award this year. I love hanging out with readers
online and in person. But, there might be a few things you don’t know about me.
-I am a military brat to a father who spent 23 years in the
service but I also had two uncles and two grandfathers who served in the
military. I was married to my husband before he went into the service.
-I hold a BA in English and history and had thought I would
write literary novels.
-Through the years I have worked many interesting jobs from
Pampered Chef Consultant to child care provider to substitute teacher. One that
most people don’t know about is my time working at an Aladdin’s Castle.
-I made my first bowl of spaghetti and meatballs at the age
of seven.
-I have lived in 8 states and 2 different countries.
-Charlie McMurtry, Larry’s (Lonesome Dove, etc), and I went
to college together. He was getting his MA while I was working on my BA. He
taught me how to waltz.
-I met my husband at a wedding.

From an early age, Melissa
loved to read. First, it was the books her mother read to her including her two
favorites, Winnie the Pooh and the Beatrix Potter books. She cut her preteen teeth
on Trixie Belden and read and reviewed To Kill a Mockingbird in middle school. It wasn’t
until she was in college that she tried to write her first stories, which were
full of angst and pain, and really not that fun to read or write. After trying
several different genres, she found romance in a Linda Howard book.
Since the
publication of her first book in 2004, Melissa has had close to fifty romances
published. She writes in genres from historical suspense to modern day erotic
romance to futuristics and paranormals. Included in those releases is the
bestselling Harmless series. In 2011, Melissa branched out into
self-publishing with A Little Harmless Submission and the popular military spinoff, Infatuation: A Little Harmless Military Romance.
Along the way she has garnered an epic nomination, a multitude of reviewer’s
recommended reads, over five Capa nods from TRS, twelve nominations for AAD
Bookies, winning both Most Accessible Author and Author of the Year, and
regularly tops the best seller lists on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. She recently
had her first USA Today bestselling book, The Santinis
Collection.
Since she
spent her childhood as a military brat, Melissa swore never to marry military.
But, as we all know, Fate has her way with mortals. She is married to an AF
major and is raising her own brats, both human and canine. She spends her days
giving in to her addiction to Twitter,
happy her husband is finally retired and they are living where the bugs die in
the winter.
