Teresa asked Melissa Landers:

Read Starflight as part of our high school's annual Kindle Tournament (it is like the March Madness of books). Loved it and cannot wait to read Starfall (2017 is so far away :-(). I am always looking for books to recommend to high schoolers. What made you choose SCI-FI as a writing genre?

Melissa Landers I'm so glad you enjoyed Starflight, and I hope you love Cassia and Kane's book even more! (Psst: If you like humorous, light sci-fi, you should try my Alienated trilogy, too.)

To answer your question, I've always been drawn to science fiction, probably because it was a huge part of my childhood. I grew up during the Star Wars craze and played with those toys constantly. (I still have my original Millennium Falcon and my golden C-3PO carrying case full of action figures). Plus, my whole family was addicted to Star Trek.

Children learn what they live, right? Maybe if I had spent more time watching "Murder She Wrote," I'd be the author of several cozy mysteries instead. :)
