Born and raised in the Midwest, Melissa has a penchant for growing her own food garden, haphazard traveling preferably near oceans, and avoiding winter.

Blurb anyone?

I've been working on the blurb for my book.
As any writer/author knows it is a crucial piece to your query letter as well as your final cover.

Let me know what you think in the comments, Thanks!

Blurb: exceptionally average

My drug of choice was ibuprofen. Specifically, 800 mgs paired with my morning coffee. Together they managed to scare off enough symptoms which allowed me the façade of a healthy Read more of this blog post »
