Marliss Melton is the author of two very disparate genres-medieval historical romance and military romantic suspense. Yet she creates in both a common theme: Men of Valor, Women of Strength. Daughter of a U.S. foreign officer, Marliss grew up in various countries overseas. Exposure to different languages led her to teach high school English, Spanish, and-her favorite subject-History of the English Language which she taught at the College of William and Mary, her alma mater. Marrying into the military, Marliss Melton's love of British history existed side-by-side with her appreciation for the selfless sacrifices of the military community. With many contacts in the military and Intelligence communities, she was well-equipped to write realistic romantic suspense featuring U.S. Navy SEALs and agency heroes. Marliss resides in Williamsburg, Virginia with her husband and their youngest daughter. Be sure to "friend" her on Facebook! Visit www.marlissmelton.com for more information.
