About Melanie D. Snitker
Hello there! I'm a USA Today bestselling author who writes contemporary inspirational and sweet romance stories focused on faith, love, and family. My first novel was published in August 2014. Since then, it's been a crazy and wonderful journey.
I enjoyed writing from a young age. My brothers and I used to watch Chip 'N Dale Rescue Rangers when we were kids. I would write episodes that I wanted to see, and then I would trace images from coloring books and arrange them the way I wanted to create the illustrations for my books. This later turned into writing a couple of scripts for episodes I wanted to see on Star Trek: The Next Generation or Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Nothing really came of them, but they were great practice and a lot of fun to write.
My love for writing progressed from there. I wrote a lot of short stories and a science fiction novel that I still intend to go back and polish up some day. I began writing romance in my early college years. Once I realized how hard it was to find romance novels that had good stories and were clean, I decided that's what I was going to focus on.
I live in Texas with my wonderful husband who also happens to be my best friend. We have two children. My family is truly an inspiration to me. I feel blessed that I am able to stay at home with our children and that we are able to homeschool our daughter - an adventure all on its own!
When I'm not writing, I enjoy reading, crocheting, photography, and playing acoustic guitar. I am also an advocate for our son, who has autism and epilepsy. Infertility and endometriosis are other topics that are close to my heart.
