I'm Mel.
I live on the Bras d'Or Lake and I like to write. A lover of books and a self-taught gal in the world of literary fiction -- after a career in microbiology, I've shifted my writing focus from technical to fictional. Now I'm learning to beat Hemingway ...
Bibliophile
I love books! I love reading books, holding books, flipping through, and owning books.
Watch me review a book every week on BiblioFiles.
Autodidact
Self-teaching is all there really is. Learn from the best Mentors: the great writers in literature.
Watch my creative writing journey on Under My Iceberg.
