THE GODDAUGHTER'S REVENGE has won the DERRINGER AWARD!
Melodie achieved a personal best this year when Library Digest compared her to Janet Evanovich.
Melodie got her start writing comedy so it's no surprise that reviewers and editors have called her fiction "wacky" and "laugh-out-loud funny". She has over 200 publications, including 40 short stories, and has won 10 awards for fiction.

Melodie Campbell recommends

The Rage Room (2020)
Lisa De Nikolits
"If dystopian speculative fiction is your thing, with the enticement of time travel, you won't go wrong with The Rage Room. The world de Nikolits has built is utterly fascinating, and quite horrific, yet believable. I sympathized with the main character, even though he is flawed, but that makes the story even more interesting. What a ride! The plot ratchets up like a train speeding down the tracks out of control. Gripping tension, and at the same time, highly complex, with multiple time travel redos and memories overlapping. I found that fascinating. I was absolutely riveted, and pleased to see that it ends with the hint of more books to come."
