Hi, I’m Melani, But you can call me mel.

I’m a Gen X, hard-work-pays-off, Midwest-bred writer and editor living in Boulder, CO; a runner, walker, yoga-er, pickleballer, and efficiency fanatic; a hospice volunteer; a Virginia, humidity, and honeysuckle-loving daughter of a Southerner; a dog, pool, and scalding-hot-dirty-chai lover.

My mom always said I was born with a (red) pen in one hand and a notebook in the other. My dad says I came out with (white hot) opinions. They pretty much nailed it. I started writing words for watermelon coins back in 1993, and my pen hasn’t stopped since.
