About the author

Hey everyone! I'm Mel Todd and I live in Atlanta, Georgia at this moment. I write mostly romance free urban fantasy, urban science fiction, and soon fantasy.

Here are 4 truths and one lie about myself.
1 - I know how to milk a goat.
2- I once propositioned Dean Cain.
3 - I had my picture taken with Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner.
4 - I have driven across the US.
5 - I have a library with over 2000 RPG books.

I'm working on the next book in the Twisted Luck series and have an duology I'm planning on writing for Nanowrimo in 2021.

Reviews

[Michael]

Exiles Refrain is a stand-alone fantasy novel by Mel Todd. This book is set in a land unlike any that I have read about before, and the world-building is both detailed and very vivid. The characters have a depth you don't always see in a fantasy. None of the usual tropes are present in this book. The characters are both relatable and compelling. They go through emotional struggles and much growth before the end of the book. As this book has just been released, I won't spoil the story, but I will say you should definitely read this book.

Note: I won this book from a Holo Writing - MECHS, MAGIC, & MAYHEM - Mel Todd giveaway.
