Melinda Hazen is a contemporary romance author. She currently has three published novels and a fourth one coming out in the next calendar year. Her novels feature a book boyfriend who you’ll fall in love with. Melinda doesn’t like reading endless and pointless page-filling arguments between the hero and heroine that could easily be resolved quickly, so she won’t make you read those either. She hopes that her readers will engage, relate, and invest in the couple and root for their happily ever after.

Melinda was born and raised in the Southwest. She taught preschool up until she became a mother. She currently works with ages preschool through high school as a substitute teacher. Soccer mom is one of her many titles, but she lost the title of “chauffeur” once her teen son got his driver’s license. Disneyland is Melinda’s favorite place on Earth. She believes everyone should follow their dreams, as publishing books was hers.
