Melissa Banczak likes to throw a lot of her own life into her books. A run-in with a ten-foot boa led to her cozy June Nash Mysteries. Wishful thinking after an awful no-good day brought about Amy of Earth, a portal fantasy series, and chillin' with her best friend over a board game marathon paved the way for their co-authored Roll-A-Prompt Writing Jumpstarts Series. When she’s not at her computer, she rocks out with a 1000-piece puzzle and ignores her adult responsibilities.
