About Melanie D. Snitker
Hello there! I write sweet, contemporary romance stories about faith, love, and family. My first novel, a stand alone about a marriage of convenience called Calming the Storm, was published in August 2014. Since then, it's been a crazy and wonderful journey.
If you enjoy books where you meet lovable characters who rely on friends and family as they face real challenges in life, then I invite you to check out my Love's Compass Series. Not only are these books heartwarming, but you get updates on previous characters you love as you go through the series. And did I mention happily ever afters? Oh yeah, there are plenty of those, too! This series is complete, and I think you'll love getting to know the Chandler and Davenport families.
I hope you'll sign up for my newsletter, interact on Facebook, and/or follow me on Amazon to keep up with new releases!

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 (13 and 8). 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, baking, watching TV and movies. 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.
