Melody firmly believes one should never completely grow up. That is why she has chosen to spend her days writing for a younger audience. Melody resides in Jacksonville, Florida with her husband, daughter, and corgi. She started her writing career with children’s picture books and has now pivoted to middle-grade and young-adult novels. She is a best-selling and award-winning author, and was selected as a finalist for the pilot episode of America's Next Great Author. She believes that young readers are eager for more books with strong-willed characters dealing with darker and interesting topics. When Melody is not writing or reading, she can be found planning her next big trip to some magical place she has never been to.
