Melody Saleh is the author of women’s contemporary fiction and publishes thrillers under her pen name, M.E. Saleh. A South Florida native, she's either huddled in her home office, imagining her latest adventure; golfing; painting; volunteering; or splashing in the pool with her grandchildren, who she's blessed to have close by. After writing, golfing is her passion. She and her husband have traveled throughout the United States and Europe, teeing it up on the most beautiful courses. "Not only do I get to walk and play some of the most exquisite golf courses, but new locations also make for great get-aways between the pages of future manuscripts."

Her close friends say she’s taught them how to celebrate their birthdays. As a two-time breast cancer survivor, her motto is, “Every year we turn older is a gift. Be proud of aging—it’s better than the alternative.”
