Melanie Dobson

Writing fiction is Melanie Dobson's excuse to explore abandoned houses, travel to unique places, and spend hours reading old books and journals. The award-winning author of thirty books, Melanie enjoys stitching together both time-slip and historical stories including The Lost Story of Via Belle, The Wings of Poppy Pendleton, Catching the Wind, Memories of Glass, and the Legacy of Love series. Five of her novels have received a Carol Award, Catching the Wind's audiobook won the 2018 Audie for Inspirational Novel, and The Black Cloister was ForeWord's Book of the Year for Religious Fiction.

Melanie and her husband, Jon, have two daughters. After moving numerous times with Jon's work, the Dobson family has finally settled near Portland, Oregon, and they love to travel and hike in both the mountains and the cliffs above the Pacific. When Melanie isn't writing, she enjoys exploring dusty back roads, dancing, kayaking, and reading stories with her girls.
