About this author

Melissa lives in a tiny suburb of Atlanta, GA with her husband and daughter. She pretends to like yoga, actually likes shoes, and could not live without coffee. Her writing heroes include greats like Jane Austen and Madeleine L'Engle.

She holds a B.A. in Communication Studies and an M.S. in Graphic Communication, both from Clemson University. Yeah, her blood runs orange.

Blurred by Tara A. Fuller
Intensely romantic, and at times chilling, BLURRED is as consuming as the shadow demons that plague its pages. Death has never been more addictive!
