Melissa, a true country girl at heart, grew up in Iowa, where she spent her childhood exploring the Midwest countryside and working in the fields during the summers. A proud graduate of Iowa State University and a dedicated Cyclone fan, she eventually moved to Maryland and now lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and four children.



In January 2020, Melissa published her first book, diving into the world of mystery romance. She has since released four stand-alone novels, each woven with intricate plots and subtle clues for readers to discover. Her lifelong love of reading sparked her passion for writing, which she describes as revealing a secret, one page at a time.

Falling for fall

The wind has shifted, the leaves edge from green to gold, and the daylight hours are becoming more precious with each passing day. Autumn is in full bloom and Winter waits on its colorful coattails, pushing forward.

This makes it the perfect season to get out those cozy blankets, sort through the cabinet, and look for your biggest mug to fill with your favorite hot beverage. Wrap your hands around

“Caught, she stood where she was. He only hesitated a moment and then moved toward her. It was like a dream: dust floating, a guitar wailing, cool air caressing. In three easy strides, he was in front of her. In four, his arms reached out and encircled her waist with one hand and her face with the other. Testing, his thumb ran lightly over her bottom lip, and then he brushed her mouth with his.
“You are real.” His voice was husky in her ear. Her breath caught just before his lips sealed hers.”
