Since it is Valentine’s week, I am giving a shout out to
some of my favorite fellow VHP authors whom I feel privileged to have met and
grown to love. They don’t know I’m doing
this…it’s my secret surprise Valentine to each of them. I’ve already introduced Smoky Trudeau Zeidel and Charmaine Gordon, and now I
am happy to write about Melinda Clayton.
Melinda is the author of Appalachian Justice, Return
to Crutcher Mountain and Entangled Thorns.
Entangled Thorns is one of my favorites and has received
rave reviews from readers everywhere. If
you haven’t read it, pick up your copy today.
In addition to writing, Melinda has an Ed.D. in Special
Education Administration, and is a licensed psychotherapist in the states of
Florida and Colorado. Her vast
experience working in the field of mental health gives her a unique perspective
on human behavior, and she likes to explore this dynamic in her writing.
Not only does she explore it in her novels, but her psychological prowess makes the profiles of her characters leap alive on the pages, taking her stories to a whole new depth.
Melinda lives in central Florida with her
husband, two children, and various cats.
Happy Valentine's Day, Melinda! :)
You're awesome, Susan,thank you! What a wonderful surprise, and an incredibly nice thing for you to do! And happy Valentine's Day to you, too!
ReplyDeleteHi Melinda,
ReplyDeleteI home somebody gives you a Snickers or a Mars Bar for Valentine's Day. If not, perhaps you need to suggest counseling of some kind.

Chocolate! 8-)
ReplyDeleteThat had more to do with Malcolm's comment than this profile. Melinda is one of my favorite authors ever, not just VHP authors. You do her proud here, Susan.
