Melyssa NicoleMELYSSA NICOLE WAS BORN IN THE SHOW ME STATE, MISSOURI, IN THE GREAT CITY OF ST. LOUIS. AS A YOUNG GIRL SHE WAS ALWAYS QUIET; LOVED HER PERSONAL SPACE AS LONG AS THERE WAS A BOOK IN HER HAND. THAT QUICKLY FADED AS SHE GOT OLDER AND HER MIND BEGAN TO ANDER OFF, CREATING NEW ENDINGS TO THE BOOKS SHE'D READ. AFTER GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL WITH A ONE YEAR OLD SON AND COMPLETING HER COLLEGE DEGREE SHE FOUND HERSELF STUCK IN THE OPERATING ROOM WRITING SHORT POEMS ON THE BACK TABLE. SO SHE DECIDED TO PUBLISH A BOOK SHE HAD BEEN SITTING ON FOR TWO YEARS. SHE'S NEVER BEEN THE TYPE TO BACK DOWN FROM A CHALLENGE BUT BEING AN AUTHOR HAS ALWAYS BEEN A FEAR. HOWEVER, MY FAVORITE QUOTE IS "IF I HAD A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE THIS IS IT, SO I'LL LIVE LIKE I'LL NEVER GET THE CHANCE AGAIN." Read More Read Less
