Mellanie Szereto<\/span><\/p>\n


\nWhen her fingers aren’t attached to her keyboard, Mellanie Szereto enjoys hiking, Pilates, cooking, gardening, and researching for her stories. Many times, the research partners with her other hobbies, taking her from the Hocking Hills region in Ohio to the Colorado Rockies and the Adirondacks of New York. Sometimes, the trip is no farther than her garden for ingredients and her kitchen to test recipes for her latest steamy tale. Mellanie makes her home in rural Indiana with her husband of thirty-four years and their son.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The second to last book in the series is usually the hardest for me to finish. The first book in the series is always easiest because…new series! <\/span><\/p>\n

What is harder? The blurb writing, naming the book, or naming the series.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

You should see my list of to-write book titles! Blurb writing is by far the most difficult!<\/span><\/p>\n

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

I have two favorite memories as an author–writing The End with my first book and receiving my first fan email!<\/span><\/p>\n

What is your definition of success?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Having readers who love my stories is the highest measure of success to me, but making a living at writing is up there too!<\/span><\/p>\n
