Adult Fiction
Melissa is a creative individual who effortlessly allows her imagination to transport her children through fictional worlds, all while imparting important life lessons. Her passion for nurturing her children’s imaginations shines through in her enchanting children’s books.
As her kids grew older and bedtime story time came to an end, Melissa discovered her love for adult fiction—the kind that isn’t suitable for young readers and knows no limits. Inspired by a vivid dream, she shared her vision with her family, which motivated her to sit down and craft her first adult fiction novel. This experience allowed her imagination to weave a captivating story from a seemingly nonsensical dream.

Adult Fiction
As a human behaviorist, venturing into the realm of writing a chapter book was uncharted territory. However, 'The Tales of Frederick Ze Frog' and 'The Real Alien Invasions' had already taken root in her imagination. The journey of Frederic Ze Frog began when her son Layden, then just 3 years old, discovered a small frog at a campsite and brought it home, only for an eagle to swoop down and carry it away. For the next 8 years, she narrated the numerous adventures of this little frog. And indeed, he had many, many thrilling escapades. On the rare nights when their bedtime stories did not revolve around Frederick Ze Frog, the children would delight in tales of themselves rescuing small aliens after they landed on Earth.
