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

“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.”
