After reading reignited a spark in her life, Melissa has found a lifetime goal in becoming an author whose books help others escape from the harsh realities of the world, just as it did her.
She has a love for all things supernatural or paranormal. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Harry Potter, Anita Blake, Zombie Fallout... just the tip of her fandom-obsessed iceberg. Laurel K. Hamilton is one of her biggest writing influences, and her style of writing sometimes echoes Hamilton's.
Her first novel, Pack or Prey (previously titled "Deny the Moon"), was first self-published in 2013, and has been re-titled and re-released in June 2018. It is the first in her Wolfblooded series, with a sequel in progress along with other various stories ranging from horror to magical realism.
Melissa joined forces with her dear friend, and partner, Chelsea, to begin writing under the Madison Chase pen name and has rebranded Pack or Prey under this name.
