Melinda lives in the majestic mountains of Arizona. She's a published author of paranormal/mystery with a slight hint of romance. She's a freelance writer for Native Hoop Magazine and Southern Writers Magazine. When she isn't creating a suspense story with captivating characters, she can be found reading, writing articles for magazines and newspapers, or spending time with her remarkable husband, Vernon, and her kids, Shaelee and Erik. Her love for animals is clear, especially since she owns a diluted tort cat, named Feather.

 

As a young child, she loved reading and writing. Many nights she would wrap up in a blanket , daydream, while creating characters for her own stories. To her own surprise, she started writing and creating her very own world, a place she could go and lose herself with just pen and paper. 

 

She grew up with the fascination of the American Indian. Her love for them grew rapidly as she read about them from her history book. She wanted to show, in her writings, of the proud people they truly are. They show respect and honor for all things. If she could capture just a small portion of that in her writings then that would be an added bonus for her.
