Melanie Tushmore wrote her first novel with pen and paper when she was fourteen, and sometimes digs it out to read again if she fancies a good chuckle! She continued to write on and off over the years but purely for her own pleasure. For the first time in...ahem, some years, Melanie wanted to share her writing with others and is delighted when anyone reads and enjoys her work.

They say write about what you know, which is why Melanie's work usually centers around characters from alternative sub-cultures. She enjoys giving cameos to her real life friends and re-living the glory days when she had a lot more energy to go out partying!
