About Me

Melinda Beatty has had years of practice trying to explain to others why she was just having an imaginary conversation between two people that don’t exist, so becoming a writer seemed like the best way to stop everyone looking at her funny.

She is the author of the Heartseeker duology, Tell the Truth, Pangolin, Things that Go Bump in the Day and The Witch’s Table.

Raised on a steady diet of science fiction, fantasy and unrealistic expectations, she and her family now reside in Western Maryland, spending time with their two fierce mini-women and a Labrador who’s perpetually afraid of the trash can. Her passion for books spills over into her second career as an indie bookseller, where she shares her enthusiasm for reading and is reminded a couple of times a week that she needs to put on actual pants.
