Author of the Week: Melissa Marr

Like most little kids, Melissa Marr, author of the New York Times bestseller Wicked Lovely, grew up believing in faeries, ghosts, and every other magical beast imaginable.  You can see those themes radiate throughout her works as well.  As an author, she develops relatable and also relatively stubborn characters (especially in her Wicked Lovely series).  Before she became the fabulous writer she is today, Melissa Marr taught college literature. 
She applied her earlier knowledge of literature and folklore to her writing.
 Currently she presides in the Washington D.C. area, where she works as a full-time writer.  And believe it or not, she still believes in the existence of faeries and ghosts. I can't say I disagree.  I'll admit to believing in ghosts...but it may take a lot of evidence to convince me that faeries really do exist.  If faeries do exist, then Melissa Marr will have the ability to rub it in all the non-believers faces...and who knows, maybe they will make her their Queen. 


Some of Melissa Marr's works include: The Wicked Lovely series (Wicked Lovely, Ink Exchange, Fragile Eternity, Radiant Shadows, & Darkest Mercy)(I highly recommend you give this a try. You will not be disappointed.), Graveminder, etc.
