about me

Author of contemporary romance, Melissa Ellen writes modern day couples that give you all the feels. A lover of both the big city and small towns, her stories are set in both. A Reason To Stay, book one of the Blackwood Series, was her debut novel and one of her bestsellers.

She went from designing buildings to crafting stories, while living in Texas with her husband, son, their rescue dog, and five chickens. When she's not writing, you'll find her tackling her latest design project, reading a good book, or messing around in her gardens with the help of her chickens.​
