Melanie Lambert received the inspiration for her first book whilst sailing around the Maltese Islands attending a Feminine Awakening luxury retreat with relationship expert, Sami Wunder. Upon realising they were where the movie, Count of Monte Cristo, was filmed, she was suddenly captivated by the idea that she was living in this story herself. Like Dantes, she felt that she could break out of her metaphoric prison to find her treasure.

Wonder Woman in Disguise is the result!

She realised the poetry she had been writing over the years told a story of transformation just as magical. It describes 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.

It was Melanie's Mother who had been the poet. Yet after her death in 2012, Melanie started weaving words into poems that initially spoke deeply of her trauma, pain, and grief. It was unexpected talent that emerged out of nowhere, yet in sharing it with others she realized it had the power to move and inspire. She found the poetry was not just an avenue of self-expression, but one of wise guidance that set her on the path to healing and love.

Melanie decided to publish to share her personal story with others in a very brave and vulnerable telling of her trials, in the hope it would inspire others to not give up. After the turmoil of fighting chronic ill health, suicidal thoughts, and hopelessness, the pinnacle reached was attaining inner peace and meeting a wonderful man.

Melanie does not just write poetry. She has 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.
