Melinda Hyde is a fantasy novelist, hailing from the great state of Louisiana, where the food is to die for and nights are brimming with ghoulish tales of nightmarish lore. She uses her nights to spin new worlds webbed around breathtaking characters and fantastical beasts. She has written seven novels, including one novella, each one steepled with villains, perils, and crippling odds. Outside of her writing, Melinda spends her time wrangling her three wild, spirited children, savoring every moment with her loving husband, and taking inspiration from the silly antics of her two lop-eared dogs and patronizing cats.
