Edie Melson's motto is simple-find your voice ... live your story. Creating characters who dig deep and find the strength in times of adversity is her hallmark. She has loved science fiction and fantasy since before she could walk. Some of her earliest memories involve being cuddled in her father's lap, watching Star Trek (yes, the original series). She attended college to become a costume designer which fed her love of all things Victorian and led to her fascination with Steampunk. She and husband Kirk have been married over thirty-seven years and raised three sons. They live in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in SC. Connect with her on her website, www.EdieMelson.com and through Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
