Melissa is a writer, musician, composer, and yoga instructor living in Oregon's lush Willamette Valley. "Writing is my passion and my love," she writes. "It keeps me sane and transports me to new and different worlds. In summing up what it means to me to be a writer, Ursula LeGuin said it best: 'My imagination makes me human and makes me a fool. It gives me all the world, and exiles me from it.'"


Background Information

Melissa cites her earliest and most profound influces as C.S. Lewis and Susan Cooper.  Later influences include Ayn Rand, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and L. Ron Hubbard.  "Humanity's imagination is our greatest gift," she explains. "With it, we have created worlds, explored worlds, and built worlds for our sons and daughters to explore."

Accomplishments

After graduating at the top of her class from her Alma Mater, Melissa spent her next four years in an intense scholastic theology program. The ideals expressed in her writing are founded on her studies of philosophy and religion.

Additional Information

Melissa lives in the Willamina, Oregon hills overlooking the beautiful Willamette Valley with her twin daughters, Sarah and Juliet, and her husband Shon Holyfield. She can be found teaching yoga at The Delphian School, a K-12 boarding school in the nearby town of Sheridan. She is also the Editor of the school's magazine The Delphian.
