Melissa McGregor

Steampunk - What is it and how can I make it my own?

Melissa MacGregor was born in Dallas, and traveled the world as a Navy brat.  Much of her childhood was spent in Scotland, where she fell in love with all things Edinburgh.  Upon her return to Texas, she wrote a weekly article for her hometown's paper, serializing the happenings within her high school.  A graduate of Stephen F. Austin State University, Melissa majored in English and History, with a minor in Sociology.
​
She attended law school long enough to realize that writing was her true passion.  She has a deep love of History, a sick addiction to research, and an undying appreciation of sports.  Her heart is divided between a small town near Dallas (and the 100-year old farmhouse inherited from her grandparents), and an even smaller village at the foot of the Scottish Highlands, both of which always welcome her home.
In 2015, Melissa was chosen by SMU libraries as one of the year's Top Ten Haute Young Authors.
Melissa is a member of International Thriller Writers, Mystery Writers of America, Romance Writers of America and The Clandestine Cake Club.
