Intro- I'm the author of...
64
romance novels published by Harlequin Mills and Boon in both Modern/Presents
and Medicals as well as a couple of short stories, poetry and a screenplay.
My Life-
I live in Hobart with my
surgeon husband and three miniature poodles. I love walking along long lonely
beaches and in the bush.
Influences-
Learning to swim as an
adult really influenced me in a big way. It taught me to overcome fear and
avoidance behaviour. Well… mostly! J
How I write-
I am a mix of pantser
and plotter. I really like a basic skeleton to start with so I can flesh it out
as I go. Some books are just a couple of finger bones to start with; others are
the whole body. It depends on the story, the characters, the theme and also
what’s happening in my life.
Motivation- I have always loved the
process of writing. Even as a child I wrote stories as soon as I could hold a
pen. Even before that I made them up. I love starting with a story idea and characters
and then ending up with a complete book where everything works out in the end.
Your Book-
Dr Bertie Clark has
returned to work from her “honeymoon” but is too embarrassed to tell her
colleagues she was jilted at the altar. But her brand new boss, handsome ICU
specialist (and single!) Dr Matt Bishop, is wary of her holistic approach to
medicine and is threatening to pull the plug on her research project. But
Bertie is not the only one with a secret. Can this hippy with the big heart
unlock the wall that surrounds Matt Bishop’s heart?

ReplyDeleteI've always loved writing too... I used to write stories in my head when I was really young too .. ♡
64 books! Wow you rock! I learnt to swim as an adult, too, and I know exactly what you mean. It taught me push the fear down and just... dive in. I love meeting other authors! Great interview.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Melanie! The new book sounds like fun. I'm one who has always loved the process of writing too. :)
ReplyDeleteI like your remarks about your writing process, Melanie!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lot of books so a big congrats to you on that.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a really fun book! I'm a mix of pantser/plotter too - although it's very much a learning process :)
ReplyDeleteHoly mackerel! Sixty-four published books! That's fantabulous. I hope your joy at holding each new book in your hands for the first time is as great as it was for the first book.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of books! This one is just in time for Valentine's Day!
ReplyDelete64 novels? I hope to reach that number one day. :)
ReplyDelete64? That's beyond epic. Man! Talk about an olympic author!
ReplyDeleteI like walking long, lonely beaches, too. The ideas roll in just like the waves.
ReplyDeleteHi, Nas!
Interesting. Love the idea of walking. It certainly helps you generate plots and subplots.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
I can relate to being a mix of a pantser and plotter. I can imagine that being married to a surgeon helps when writing medical romance. :) Wishing Melanie the best of luck.

I read that cover as "A Date with Her Dog." I was thinking what the plot of that might be when I realized it was "Doc!" 64 books...quite a few. That's amazing.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Jess of DMS! You won the Melanie Milburne Giveaway!
