I really liked your book 'Love in the Fast Lane' and i wonder if you are gonna write a book about Emma and Luca?? I would love to know their story
Melissa Kate Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the book. Love in the Fast Lane was a standalone story and unfortunately there will not be any follow ups from that book. However the Crystal Valley series is currently out and you get two stories out of that stories - I promise, it's a real laugh out loud kind of book.

Firstly, I adored your book! I shall be posting a review shortly but I want you to know that I just finished it and it was so so good. I have so many questions too! Like what inspired you? How much time did you spend researching? Have you spent time in Crystal Valley? Well done on your amazing debut novel! I look forward to reading many more of your works.
Melissa Kate Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to read Waiting for You.

To answer your Qs....

Lots of things inspire me, sometimes its a music video or a movie. In Adam's case, I just always wanted to write about a Navy SEAL and Audrey came to life - who doesn't love a strong independent woman?

I spend a lot of time researching. It varies each time but enough efforts needs to be put it to make your story sound authentic. Writing about serving your country and not truly understanding what that means can very easily translate to the reader and that just shows lack of commitment to the story.

Crystal Valley is totally fictional :)

Thanks for your Questions! Hope you enjoy the next one and look out for Oliver and Emma's story coming soon!
