'Highly recommend' - The Bookseller

All it takes is a bolt from the blue to change your life forever...

Melanie Rose was an avid reader from an early age and found herself looking at the world around her and wondering 'what if?' She began writing as a teenager, progressing to short stories and articles for magazines and newspapers. She trained as a nursery nurse and later became a play therapist on the children's ward at the Royal Marsden Hospital, continuing to write in her spare time.
She self-published her first novel which was voted one of the favourite reads of the year by listeners of Radio 4's Open Book programme.
She now lives in Surrey with her husband and four sons, who, along with many of the children she has cared for, provide much inspiration for her books.
