Melis Therrien

Melis Therrien is a Canadian writer living in France. A word-game enthusiast, she has been rhyming since the age of 8 in two different languages and recently expanded to three. Combining this skill with affirmations she created her own style of easy-to-read poetry that is light yet deep and serves to keep you in the flow throughout the book to attract the results you desire.

Passionate about animals and the environment, $1 of the profits of each book sold goes to planting trees to help restore habitats and fight climate change.

Fun facts:

Born in Canada, she has moved over 35 times in her lifetime with her record: staying in the same house for 5 years.

Her hobbies are traveling, writing, wandering in nature, eating desserts and designing/ decorating cakes for friends and family.

She loves everything "comfy".

Part Dutch she has a natural ability to be very "nuchter". Grounded or down-to-earth don't quite translate the depth of this word properly. An example would be: Someone yelling and waving. "The world is ending!!!!" Dutch "nuchter" response: "Well, I guess I don't have to worry about the laundry then."

She often forgets to say hello. If someone talks to her about a situation she gets so absorbed that she forgets pleasantries and immediately gives the information/advice requested or asks more questions to better help the person.

An avid nature and animal lover, she has a habit of rescuing animals and loves trees. This ranges from adopting animals from the shelter to rescuing snails about to be buried (got looked at weirdly in France) to using part of the proceeds of her books to plant trees.

One of her old roommates compared her writing style to Gollum from LOTR because she runs off to a corner with pen and paper and starts scribbling like mad, hunched over.
