Rumor has it that Melina Druga came out of her mother’s womb with a pen in her hand.  While we can neither confirm or deny this, you could say she was destined to become a writer.
 
Melina was so young when she began writing that she can’t remember exactly when the urge began.  She does remember, however, her first novel – an historical fiction story about two sisters living in an Ohio canal town in the 1840s – that she wrote at age 10.
 
Music keeps Melina sane, and it has gotten to the point that she cannot write without it.  It keeps her awake, alert, motivated and productive.  Music has even inspired her fiction.  And not just The Rock Star’s Wife series.  The My Chemical Romance song “Mama” was the inspiration for her historical fiction novel Angel of Mercy.
 
Melina lives in the Midwest with her husband, daughter, black cat, books and CD collection.
