Michael Melville

Michael Melville grew up in Grandville Michigan with blue-collar beginnings. He is the son of a retired factory worker and an interior decorator. In 2002, he moved to Portland Oregon and spent several years living in the Pacific Northwest. He spent a lot of his time traveling up and down the Oregon coast often with his dog at his side. That coastline, the small towns, and the people he met and saw have inspired and become a part of him. Michael considers the Oregon coast his second home even while currently living in Michigan and goes back as often as he can. He is married and a proud father of two.

His first novel was Running Northwest and was followed up by All the Roads Home and The Diner (Books One and Two of four in The Oregon Series. Michael attended Grand Valley State University for a BA in Writing with a focus on Creative Writing. He is an avid blogger and when time and money allow loves to travel.
