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

Melissa Haag – My books are way more interesting than I am. I’m a middle-aged (ouch!) mid-western married mom of three who loves laughing and food. I started writing seriously in 2011 and published my first book in 2013. Before that, I just dabbled when I ran out of book money.
\nI’ve always loved romance and haven’t deviated.
\nI found one of my mom’s “savage” bodice rippers (you know the kind) back when I was 13. She took it away from me when she found out I was reading it, but don’t worry, I snuck it again and finished. After that, I was hooked.
\nMuch later in life, I discovered a manuscript that my mom wrote and submitted to an agent in the 80s. Recently, I learned her mother also wrote and attempted to publish. So, I have a generational imagination, and I’m grateful for it.<\/span><\/p>\n

How did you hear about this event?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

My memory is both a blessing and a curse. I can barely remember what I did last week, never mind how I found out about WOTR three years ago. But thanks to my memory, I’m the BEST secret keeper, and a person can retell stories to me at least twice before they stick. I also don’t hold grudges. HAHA<\/span><\/p>\n

How many years have you attended?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This will be my third year.<\/p>\n

What genres do you write?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Anything romance! So far, Paranormal Romance, Urban Fantasy Romance, Fantasy Romance, and SciFi Romance. All under different names, of course.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is a book of yours you wish more people read?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dealing with Demons. Readers always say they want stand-alone books, but I’ve found my series are more popular than the one and only stand-alone that I wrote.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is one fun fact about you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

One? I have so many! I suffer from some gnarly migraines. They can be vomit-inducing, and I’ve been known to ask my husband to cut my head off in a fit of tears. In recent years, I’ve learned a few tricks that help me avoid\/minimize them, so decapitation requests have fallen away.<\/p>\n

The second fun thing is that I used to work in IT, and I loved SQL scripting.<\/span><\/p>\n
