Hello, World

Well… here we are.

I’ve thought about creating a space like this for a long time, and I finally decided to stop thinking about it and just begin.

So, hello. I’m Mel.

I’m an author, but I’m also a lot of other things—a mom, a wife, an educator, a lifelong reader, an overthinker, and someone who has spent a lot of time wondering about people, their stories, and the things that shape us.

Some of my writing comes from real life. Some comes from stories that have lived in my imagination for years. And some ideas seem to show up out of nowhere and refuse to leave.

This website is a place for all of that.

You’ll find books, writing updates, stories from behind the scenes, things I’m learning, and probably a few thoughts that started with “I wonder…” and turned into something more.

I don’t know exactly where this writing journey will take me. I just know there are stories I still want to tell.

And after carrying some of them around for years, I think it’s time to let them out.

So this is the beginning.

Thanks for being here.

— Mel
