Melissa Nottingham is first and foremost a lover of mystery- a romantic at heart. Growing up in a small town in southern Montana, she learned the importance of creating your own path, even if it means forging new ground in unfamiliar territory. She's a wanderer by nature, and only recently discovered that one can have both roots and wings. She believes that the best things in life make your heart pound, and lives for the breathless moments.
Melissa is a first-time novelist, debuting a thriller nearly a decade in the making. A self-proclaimed rebel heart with a gypsy soul, Melissa has spent years chasing the thrill of great horror novels, mysteries, and ghost stories. After several small publications in her teens for poetry, Melissa spent her twenties writing little other than the tales of a misspent youth. In her thirties, she met the love of her life, who read the first page of an idea she had for a story and convinced her to write the second.
That story is "Dirtbag Island".
