Melissa R. L. Simonin writes the books she wants to read: good clean
rated G romance, mystery, suspense, fantasy, paranormal, supernatural,
historical, and Christian fiction, with main characters that inspire, who have
senses of humor and are good at heart, and which leave one feeling
encouraged and better for having read the book. Her characters have stories
to tell, so she gets up early and stays up late, because she doesn’t want to miss
a thing. Unless she feels like writing two or more novels simultaneously and
giving up sleep entirely, she’s learned not to name characters until she’s ready
to write, because once they have their names their stories begin, and there is
no “pause” option.
In addition to racing to keep up with her characters, Melissa currently
resides in Katy, Texas with Brad, her husband of twenty-eight years; sixteen?year-old daughter Emily; cats Pandora and Star; White German Shepherd Arctic; and Squinty the teddy bear hamster.
While famous for burning cheese sandwiches when her characters are in
the middle of a conversation, due to popular demand she usually serves the
rest of the household un-burnt offerings, grocery shops on occasion, cleans
when absolutely necessary, studies the Bible daily, relies on Jesus completely,
listens to Citizen Way and Hawk Nelson frequently, and carries her laptop
and immersive headphones with her wherever she goes.
Melissa’s current and ongoing series include The House of Bannerman,
Mystery Lane, The Investigations of Jack Ryland, and Terms of Engagement.
