Nothing means more to her than her friends and family, and she cherishes every moment spent with them. While seriously addicted to coffee, and highly challenged with all things computer-related and technical, she relishes baking, cooking, and trying new recipes for people to sample. She loves to throw dinner parties, and also enjoys traveling, here and abroad, but finds coming home is always the best part of any trip. Melanie loves stories, especially paired with a good wine, and enjoys skydiving (free falling over a fleck of dust) extreme snowboarding (falling down stairs) and piloting her own helicopter (tripping over her own feet.) She's learned happily ever afters, even bumpy ones, are all in how you tell the story.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eScott, Scarlett:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - USA TODAY and Amazon Top 100 bestselling author Scarlett Scott writes deliciously wicked Victorian and Regency historical romances with strong, intelligent heroines and sexy alpha heroes.
