MELISSA MEYER (she/her) is an author of one novel, several short stories, and many poems that probably won't see the light of day. Her work is often dark (and sometimes violent), challenges societal norms, and has scared a few people. She's not particularly apologetic about that last part. She also focuses on writing LGBTQ characters. Melissa is also a Sagittarius sun, Gemini moon, Sagittarius rising, and tarot card slinger. She collects coffee mugs, true crime stuff, cross stitch patterns and supplies, books, and recipes. She's an avid watcher of Schitt's Creek, The X-Files, Game of Thrones, and Hell's Kitchen. Most of the trivia she knows is about serial killers. When she's not writing about demons and human monsters, she can be found making candles, being the Mother of Cats, and being married to her butter half, Aaron (they/them). Melissa currently resides in Cincinnati, Ohio. NIGHT MONSTER, the first in a series, is her debut novel.
