Her first book, "On Chagrin Boulevard: A Collection of Fluff, Fables, Fabrications, Flapdoodle, Free Verse and Flash Fiction," uses flash fiction and poetry to explore universal themes of love, desire, loss, and joy. When she's not writing, Melissa enjoys traveling, exploring nature, indulging in good conversation, and discovering new books, music, and restaurants. She treasures her friends and family, as well as her four writing groups: The Lliterary Llamas, WOW, the Thursday Poets, and the Occasional Poets. Originally from Madison, Wisconsin, Melissa lived and worked in New York for twenty years before returning to the Midwest, where she currently resides with her husband Jim in Cleveland.
