edit data

I grew up on an organic farm in Italy and was home educated. Along the way I’ve worked for Sainsbury’s head office looking after the organic range of products as well as developing new products and packaging; for Roehampton University developing student entrepreneurs; done a Masters focused on creativity and worked as a business consultant on a government scheme for over six years offering mentoring, advice, training and grants to small businesses, mostly in the food sector.

I now live in London with my husband, young son and baby daughter, looking after the kids and writing.

Melissa Addey liked Janet Graham's review of The Cold Palace (Forbidden City Book 4): "The Final Episode This is the final book in the series. It tends to tie all of the books together and complete some of the stories. This series is best when read in order. I think that I will now re-read the series and re-absorb it. China in..."

Melissa Addey answered Clare O'Beara's question: Hi Melissa, I have an ARC copy of The Garden of Perfect Brightness. Now I check your page I can see you have an interest in organic gardening. Did this inspire your writing? You may like to check out the Green Group through the Community tab at the top of the page; we have an Organic Chat section and we're always pleased to welcome authors and readers. Hello Clare! Thank you for the invitation, what a nice group idea. My own garden is a bit wild, I'm not sure I could ever create something quite as beautiful as the Garden of Perfect Brightness... I was lucky enough to visit it as part of my resea... See Full Answer
