Melonie Pendleton

I started writing in 2019 with a Middle-Grade Fantasy. After joining SCBWI, where I met my critique group, my skill set grew and I moved into Young Adult.

A lot of my passion in writing comes from my love of music. I like to joke that I write books about music and music about books.

When I'm not writing or juggling a million tasks, you can find me playing sad folk music, hiking, or daydreaming about taming a crow. (It's going to happen one of these days.)

Being a lackey for the leftovers of the Greek gods isn’t new to 15-year-old Mia Miller, an anxiety-riddled semi-goddess with wimpy—and restricted—musical powers. But when a suspicious quest to Nashville with her bestie leads to discovering a strange book where she’s the main character, Mia must find the doxxing author to take back her secret identity…and salvage her failed quest, before Olympus finds out.

​12-year-old Sky Pensive is a (totally normal) girl who just wants things to get better. But, she and her little sister don't yet know that both sides of their family have some...interesting lineage. How the heck is that her problem? And who invited the annoying neighbor boy?
