Grit and grace, from someone who’s lived both

Michelle Melton writes gritty, recovery-centered paranormal mysteries where secrets can be a murder weapon — and truth is the first step toward healing what’s been passed down. A friend of Bill’s since 2004, she brings an authentic recovery lens to rule-bound supernatural suspense. She is a former print journalist who covered the crime and courts beat, and an Author Accelerator Certified Book Coach.
