Melanie Summers is a multi-award-winning, Amazon best-selling author of romantic comedies and women’s fiction. She’s written over thirty-five books for people who have 'had it up to here' with the real world. 

Her highly acclaimed Full Hearts Series was picked up by both Piatkus Entice (a division of Hachette UK) and HarperCollins Canada. Since 2013, she has written and published over 35 novels and multiple novellas. She has sold over a quarter of a million books and has over 100 million page reads on Kindle Unlimited. Several of her novels have been translated into Czech, Slovak, German, and Italian, and she sold the licence of two of her books to Crazy Maple Studios for use on their Chapters Interactive Story App. 

In her previous life (i.e., before having children), Melanie received her Bachelor of Science from the University of Alberta, then went on to work in the soul-sucking customer service industry for a large cellular network provider. On her days off, she studied to become a Chartered Mediator. That designation landed her a job at the R.C.M.P. as the Alternative Dispute Resolution Coordinator. Having had enough of mediating arguments between gun-toting police officers, she decided it was much safer to have children so she could continue her study of conflict resolution in a weapon-free environment (and one which doesn’t require makeup and/or nylons).

When she’s not writing or reading, she's usually out for a walk with her adorable dog, Nelson, hanging out on the beach with her husband and their three teenagers, or curled up on the couch for family movie night. 

Melanie resides on Vancouver Island, Canada, where her life goal is to become one of those fabulous people who take daily ice baths in the ocean. So far, she can get in up to her ankles, which is not too shabby.
