Melody Thomas

So what does a girl with a criminal justice degree do with her life? I write romance novels, of course, the best job in the world. In the past, I've written westerns for Leisure under Lori Morgan and Pirate adventure books for Berkley under Laura Renken. My books have been four times reviewer nominated by Romantic Times Bookclub for Best Adventure and Best Historical Suspense and Gothic categories. My books have won the Holt Medallion, the WISRWA Writer's Choice Award, the Affaire de Couer reader's Choice awards and will be published in five foreign languages worldwide. My Lord Pirate, was a 1999 Golden Heart Finalist, which launched my publishing career with Berkley.

I live in the Chicago area where I am also the former president for the Windy City RWA chapter. Currently, I pen stories for AVON/HarperCollins under my name, Melody Thomas. Wild and Wicked in Scotland, the first book in my new Charmed and Dangerous series appeared on shelves January 2007. For more information on my books check out my Author pages on this site. Happy Reading.
