About the Author
An award-winning author of eight novels, Melinda Rucker Haynes is the Baby Boomer edition of an Arizona pioneer family. She grew up in the small town of Kingman on Route 66. She likes to joke that she learned to write fiction as a grant writer at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Melinda also directed adult education research projects and trained teachers at UNLV, where she further developed her unusual sense of humor as a student teacher supervisor and a member of the faculty gourmet club. Melinda escaped academe one summer to wrangle assorted livestock on her parents’ small ranch near the ghost town of Oatman, Arizona. It was a weird, growth-promoting adventure that later inspired the mystical tale of The Haunting of Josh Weston. After traveling the world and living in four foreign countries, which most recently includes Washington D.C., Melinda settled in Tucson with her husband, Bob. She sweet talks their citrus trees, takes piano lessons and photo hunts the wily Cruel Shoes for her website and Pinterest pages. She’s a discerning Whovian who's ever speculating about all things Doctor Who and other extraordinary mysteries.
