Melissa Hemmings

Melissa Hemmings is a UK based artist, illustrator and writer. Her illustrations have featured in magazines and several novels and her artwork has won several awards. The Eliza Wakeley Trilogy has been a lifetime of experience in the making and offers a charming and comical insight into Eliza’s mind as she makes the leap into single-parenthood, internet dating and balancing the meals and bills. With a unique way of storytelling, Melissa neatly tells the story from multiple points of view, in order to uncover the all-too-common difference between what someone says, and what they really mean. The books capture the eccentricities of Britishness, with especially poignant observations about our, often strange, coping mechanisms.
