Mel Henry has been an avid reader since stealing her first Harlequin from her mom's nightstand in second grade. Because some words were too big for her seven-year-old vocabulary, she took to writing her own stories (much to the relief of her teacher) and has been doing so ever since.
After having held various jobs in her life that brought her no satisfaction and only a piddly income, she decided to publish her first book. She figured being a starving artist instead of just starving sounded much more interesting. Being able to do it in her pajamas and without make-up are just perks of the job.
Living in Iowa with her husband of twenty-five years, Mel's an avid cook, seasoned traveler, and animal lover. She loves live theater, thunderstorms, and good tea. She loathes conspiracy theories, egotistical people, and avocadoes.
She spends her time writing, reading, and procrastinating, not necessarily in that order. Her next book is well under way, as well as a project that will bring her together with three other authors in a collaborative effort. You can find her on most social media platforms.
