Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Hi, I’m Mellanie Szereto!
\nWhen my fingers aren’t attached to my keyboard, I enjoy hiking, PIlates, cooking, gardening, and researching for my stories. I’m a foodie and love to write foodie romance, but all that hiking research is going in a paranormal trilogy set in the wilds of Ohio and a college-town series on my to-finish-writing list. You’ll also find plenty of lovable nerdy characters in my stories. That’s what happens when you, your husband, and your children are all nerds!<\/span><\/p>\n

Where is your favorite place to write and what food must be present?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

My favorite place to write is anywhere with quiet and no chance of interruption. I’m not much of a snacker, but I always have a supply of Cheez-Its or Goldfish crackers on hand just in case!<\/span><\/p>\n

What are you favorite things about attending signings?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Even though I’m a bit of an introvert, I love meeting readers and talking about books! I also enjoy getting know other authors, whether we’re meeting for the first time or we’re already friends on social media. Checking out the cool swag ideas is fun too!<\/span><\/p>\n

What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

If I could go back in time, I’d love to meet the three authors who most influenced the young reader in me–Louisa May Alcott (Little Women), Anna Sewell (Black Beauty), and Marguerite Henry (Misty of Chincoteague).<\/span><\/p>\n

What author would you love to write with?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I’d love to write a nerd story with Vicki Lewis Thompson!<\/span><\/p>\n

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

My favorite memory involving a reader is attending a book signing and overhearing her recommend my books to other readers. My favorite writing memory is the first time I wrote The End. \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n
