Melinda Craig

If I started with anything I guess it would be my love of books and writing (to me, you can't write without loving to read). \n\nI digest as much fantasy and paranormal cozy mysteries that I can get my hands on, which is probably the main reason I write in those genres. I hope my short stories give readers the same feeling I had when I read some of my favorite authors. \n\nTo this day, I can remember picking up my first book of short stories in the fantasy genre. One of the stories was from Charlaine Harris's Sookie Stackhouse world. I loved the feeling of amusement and enthralling tales that took me to another place. That has always been my goal when writing a story.\n\nI've been scribbling stories and thoughts in journals for as long as I can remember (a piece of me that has passed down to one of my daughters). I am a mom to four beautiful and sometimes rotten children...which makes night time writing a must in my world. \n\nI spend way too much time on Pinterest looking at office ideas for a writing studio, author notes, tips, and good book suggestions...along with a thousand other things! I read...a lot and that about sums it up. \n\nYou can see any new works in progress on my author website: melindacraig.com
