Melissa Armstrong has been addicted to writing ever since her 4th grade teacher delighted in her stories and asked to read them to the class. She'll never forget the way it felt to witness her fellow students' enjoyment and laughter in response to her words. Today, she strives to evoke that same magic from her romantic YA novels. Aside from writing and reading, Melissa has a deep love for nature and interior design. While born and raised in Australia, she lives in North Carolina with her husband, daughter and their sock-stealing Rottweiler.
