A fan of storytellers like Lois Lowry, Madeleine L'Engle, Michael Ende, and J.R.R. Tolkien, she found inspiration for Mysteria from a dream one night about a magical insect, an old woman, and a sleeping girl. Five years later another dream gave her the girl's name, and she knew then she had to write the story. Notes became chapters and chapters a novel-which she dedicated to her father. A California native, Melanie lives with her husband and three children in Japan, where she works as an English teacher, translator, writer, and missionary. She holds a bachelor's degree in English Literature and a master's degree in teaching English as a second language.","brand":"Chestnut Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50372406739218,"sku":"9781633634619","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_cdb54f89-851a-4196-a431-76847773f087.jpg?v=1728547069","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/mysteria-9781633634619","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
