Melanie Ann Gilbert

Melanie grew up in England but has lived more than half her life in the Mediterranean region of Turkey. She loves the scenery, culture and history of her adopted country and sets most of her writing there.

She has run a hotel and taught English to locals and Turkish to expats. These days, she gets to spend more time writing. She also loves to go out hiking in the mountains and exploring ancient ruins. Luckily, there are plenty of these in Turkey!
