Originally from Barnegat, NJ, Melody is native to the shore and pine trees scattered throughout her poetry. Her life has been spent immersing herself into the local communities of many cities and finds herself grateful for her slightly vagabondesque existence. As amother, Marine Corps veteran, and writer, Melody feels a sense of duty is always present. Melody is founder & CEO of Unfeathered Ink, which provides coaching, writing, & publication services and seeks to grow an eclectic and culturally diverse community of writers.
