Melanie RodgersMelanie Rodgers was a voracious reader as a child and has always loved words. Writing short stories and poetry was her passion, and as a child with no voice, she used these forms to express herself and explore her own emotions. She is a former Toastmster, a retired Registered Social Service Worker and a psychology major.

For over a decade, she was a freelance reporter for sister papers of the Toronto Star and the Toronto Sun.
