edit data

Prior to writing romance, award-winning, USA Today Bestseller Melinda Curtis was a junior manager for a Fortune 500 company, which meant when she flew on the private jet she was relegated to the jump seat—otherwise known as the potty. After grabbing her pen (and a parachute) she made the jump to full-time writer. Between writing sweet romance and sweet romantic comedy, Melinda finds time to bond with her husband over home remodeling projects. She recently came to grips with the fact that she’s an empty nester and a grandma, concepts easier to grasp than jet-setting on a potty.

Sassy Sweet Romance

I love writing sweet romance for Harlequin and I love writing romantic comedy. My newest release (out Monday 10/23/17) combines the two in 1st person point of view.

Part of a series of stories about seven friends returning home at the request of their choir teacher, Rumor Has It In Christmas Falls is fun and heartwarming. All 7 books are going live at the same time. Read my full-length sweet roman Read more of this blog post »
