| Melody Thomas About Me |
Years after receiving my Criminal Justice degree from the University of Oklahoma , I discovered the historical romance genre. True legends
like M.M Kaye, Kathleen Woodiwiss, Judith McNaught, and Penelope Williamson, sparked my love for writing and a great stories alive with grit
and passion.
In the past, I've written westerns for Leisure under Lori Morgan and Pirate adventure books for Berkley under Laura Renken. My books have
been five times reviewer nominated by Romantic Times Bookclub for Best Adventure and Best Historical Suspense and Gothic categories.
They have won the Holt Medallion three times, the WISRWA Writer's Choice Award, The Beacon for Best Historical 2008, the Affaire de Couer
reader's Choice award and will be published in five foreign languages worldwide. My Lord Pirate, was a 1999 Golden Heart Finalist, which
launched my publishing career with Berkley.
I recently moved to the Memphis area from Chicago where I was also the former president for the Windy City RWA chapter. Currently, I pen
stories for AVON/HarperCollins under my name, Melody Thomas. My next release, This Perfect Kiss comes out July, 2011. For more
information on my books, I've listed all of them below. Happy Reading.
