About this author

I'm the author of ten novels, including my debut, SEE JANE DATE (also available in cute TV movie form on DVD) and my newest, THE LOVE GODDESS' COOKING SCHOOL (October 2010).

I'm the proud mother of an adorable nine-year-old boy. We live on the beautiful coast of Maine, where I'm working on my next novel.

Hope you'll visit my website: http://www.melissasenate.com

“Her grandmother had once told her that one of life's best lessons was not being afraid to look foolish -- to just ask the question.”

“I don't want to say something cheesy like 'home is where the heart is,' but home is definitely where the heart is. And my heart is, and has always been, with you.”
Melissa Senate, The Breakup Club

“To paraphrase Woody Allen in Annie Hall, love was too weak a word for what I felt for that tiny crying creature who had my eyes, my mouth, my hair. I lurved my daughter, my Ava. I looved her. I lurfed her.”
