Later she attended the University of Pittsburgh where she studied Creative Writing and Psychology. While living in Pennsylvania she became a licensed private pilot.

After graduating from Pitt, she moved with her husband, George, to Massachusetts where she worked as a substitute teacher and began to pursue her hobbies of writing and painting in oils. She now is a self taught artist working primarily on portraits.

Since leaving Massachusetts NovaMelia has lived in several other states, including Connecticut, California, Georgia, Tennessee and Florida . While living in Florida,she did freelance writing, raised aquarium fish for the local pet store, bred Siamese cats and grew orchids. She also did much of the research and writing for "The Saving of Aris."
