Melissa James

I'm a mother of three, a born and bred Sydney-sider now living in a beach suburb in country New South Wales, Australia. A former nurse, waitress, store assistant, perfume and chocolate (yum!) demonstrator, I believe in taking on new jobs for the fun experience! I'll try almost anything at least once to see what it feels like—a fact that scares my family on regular occasions.

I fell into writing by accident when my husband brought home an article stating how much a famous romance author earned, and thought, "I can do that!" Years later, I found my niche at Intimate Moments.

I can be found most mornings walking and swimming at the local beach with my husband, or every afternoon running around to my kids' sporting hobbies, while dreaming of flying, scuba diving, belaying down a cave or over a cliff—anywhere my characters are at the time!
