I'm Melissa Kriz. I was born in a small town in Southern Maryland. I've loved writing since I was a little kid. I was always writing books, and poems, and songs. I was quite the creative child. This book, The Three Stones of Asche, is my first novel, and I really hope people like it. I hope to write more books in the future, and one day major in broadcast journalism, and speak out against bullying.
