A hopeless romantic and someone curious about the universe, I am a writer of sweet romances and adventurous sci-fi. Stories with heart, passion, and suspense.

I'm a stay-at-home mom writing because I love it and editing to help other authors. I write multiple genres because I love multiple types of stories, as do many readers. As someone passionate to help others and share my knowledge, I not only fill my stories with upliftment, life lessons, and happy endings, but also write multiple newsletters to share positivity and help other aspiring authors and editors in similar shoes.

If you would like to keep up on my current work, or learn more, you can follow me. Https:// linktr . ee / melsmithauthor (no spaces)

Newsletters for many needs!

As social medias change, evolve, and pop up right and left, I'm struggling to keep up with them, in all honesty. Joining new social medias and learning new sites, algorithms, and tactics is exhausting. I want to be able to connect with my readers without all the hassle, and the easiest way is through my newsletters, in all honesty.

Quotes by Melissa Smith  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“To all those women out there who are struggling in their relationship, are in, have been, or have gotten out of an abusive relationship, this is for you!
You can get back out there one day, you can start over.
You are strong.
You are beautiful.
You are worthy of achieving your dreams.
Never give up.”
Melissa Smith - Melissa J Smith, When Hearts Heal

“Listen to me closely, okay? You cannot change the past. You can’t change what happened. All you can do is accept that it happened. Wondering about the ‘maybes’ and the ‘what ifs’ isn’t going to change your future. The only thing that’s going to help you now is accepting what happened and appreciating the fact that everything is okay. You made it out of that situation alive, mostly unharmed, and intact. Your daughter made it through that ordeal unharmed. Your husband is alive and here for you, too. You have so many more positive things to think about. Don’t let yourself dwell on things that can’t be changed.”
Melissa Smith - Melissa J Smith, When You Fight

“You can’t keep worrying about getting your heart broken all the time. ... Don’t let your fear hold you back from something that could be totally amazing.”
