About Me
The stage and the page have always competed for my attention.

Currently, you can read my work in the online magazine All Things Girl, and the erotic lit-zine Pink Nighties.

I also have this blog (which is really more of an open journal), a book-blog at Bibliotica.com, and I blog about my dogs at Zenitopia.com. As well, I host the writing prompt site CafeWriting.com.

I spent several years as a member of the now-defunct Dallas branch of ComedySportz (the interactive improvisational experience), and now I feed the acting bug as a voice actor for Between the Lines Studios, the Astral Audio Experience, and 19 Nocturne Blvd. I’m also part of the writing staff for two of the BtL productions: Angel Between the Lines (currently in production) and Firefly Between the Lines (coming soon).

I’m working on science-fiction/comedy novel (think Christopher Moore x Douglas Adams, but with a female sensibility), and a collection of original short stories. My short story “Chai,” which was published in the first issue of Pink Nighties, was nominated for the Pushcart Prize.

When I’m not writing, acting, or singing, I work with the Shelter-2-Rescue Coalition, helping to re-home shelter dogs. Please consider adopting your next pet from an animal shelter, and if you already have pets, please do the responsible thing and have them spayed or neutered.

You can contact me by leaving a comment on this blog, emailing me (Melissa AT MissMeliss DOT com) or through Twitter.

I live near Dallas, TX with one husband, two computers, three dogs (not including fosters), and more books than I care to count.

About this Blog
My blog, more like an open journal, really, is part writing practice, part video sharing, part general news about my life.

Comments are moderated, and I reserve the right to remove links or delete comments as I see fit. It’s my site, after all, so I get to choose who plays in my sandbox. I’m sure you do the same.
