About the author

Melanie Lambert

<p>Melanie Lambert received the inspiration for her&#160;first book whilst sailing around the Maltese Islands&#160;attending a Feminine Awakening luxury retreat with relationship expert,&#160;<em>Sami Wunder</em>. Upon realising they were where the movie, Count of Monte Cristo, was filmed, she&#160;was suddenly captivated by the idea that she&#160;was&#160;living in this&#160;story herself. Like Dantes, she&#160;felt that she could break out of her&#160;metaphoric prison to find her&#160;treasure.</p>&#13; &#13; <p>Wonder Woman in Disguise is&#160;the result!</p>&#13; &#13; <p>She realised the poetry she&#160;had been writing over the years told a story of transformation just as magical. It describes&#160;a defeated heroine on her journey of discovering a rich inner treasure and self-worth where she traveled from despair to hope, suffering to strength, and loneliness to love.<br/>&#13; <br/>&#13; It was Melanie's&#160;Mother who had been the poet. Yet after her death in 2012, Melanie&#160;started weaving words into poems that initially spoke deeply of her&#160;trauma, pain, and grief. It was unexpected talent that emerged out of nowhere, yet in sharing it with others she&#160;realized it had the power to move and inspire. She&#160;found the poetry was not just an avenue of self-expression, but one of wise guidance that set her&#160;on the path to healing and love.</p>&#13; &#13; <p>Melanie decided to publish&#160;to share her&#160;personal story&#160;with others in a very brave and vulnerable telling of her&#160;trials, in the hope it would inspire others to not give up. After the turmoil of fighting chronic ill health,&#160;suicidal thoughts, and hopelessness, the pinnacle reached was attaining&#160;inner peace and meeting a&#160;wonderful man.<br/>&#13; <br/>&#13; Melanie does not&#160;just write poetry. She has&#160;a vivid and quirky imagination for crime fiction, romance, and fairy tales as well. Keep in touch if you'd like updates about new releases.</p>
