Melissa Badamo

After years of exploring her passion for writing, Melissa Badamo self-published her first novel, "The Uncommon," at 18 years old. The coming-of-age novel follows five friends who build an everlasting connection while striving to become the best high school rock band in existence. Her passion for music, especially guitar, piano, and drums, was combined with her passion for writing to create this novel for fellow music lovers or anyone who is just looking for a good read.
