About Melanie

I write eerie mysteries with a dash of romance. My stories have featured murderous mermaids, vengeful ghosts, Christmas spirits, reluctant psychics, and I'm currently working on a series about a collection of haunted antiques. I live in subtropical Australia in a 90-year-old house that just might be haunted itself.
